Mini inspiration board. These patterns and textures draw me in for whatever reason.

Old experiments I’m finally posting. I started experimenting with paper during a creative burn out last year.

This is a little diary/sketchbook I’m keeping to do some ‘inner child’ work. I had been going through a LONG artist block when I started it, and this gave me permission to loosen up and experiment!

I want to make this a series....I think next will be Diana Ross, or Bork...? This actually started with a simple ink doodle on a scrap of paper, I tried to just color it with posca markers and ink, but the result was really flat and lackluster. Once I scanned it into procreate I just got carried away. I had a lot of fun shading w/the graphic texture, but when I finished I thought; I should have used these color and this style for some ‘Into the Spider-verse’ fan art!

Following up with a detail and process image.

I’m trying to teach myself to do caricatures....this is pretty tame but it’s very....stylized? I also cheated ....Twiggy’s face is so distinct and then I wrote her name on it. I tried though!
