Draw this Again - Sam

Felt like re-doing an old character design because why not! Approximately 10 years and... not much has changed. Oh well

Bats, Briefs, and Bolts (Weeklies 3)

How long can I keep this “B” Alliteration thing going? Mostly unintentional, I swear. Didn’t necessarily mean for this to devolve into essentially a pin-up but oh well. Color variants because I’m indecisive. 

Traditional lines, colors in Photoshop

Weeklies 2 

Some bee motifs for everyone! Apologies for the poor hand anatomy, weird line weights, and sucky iphone scan quality...

Pencil, Pen, Markers

Weeklies 1

Hi there! Thought I’d set myself a challenge in the new year to work on a piece every week for the next little bit. For week one, let’s get some old tropes out of the way aka pretty boys with undercuts in jackets standing in front of shapes and trees... 

Pencil, pen, markers

Something Wicked

Felt inspired to draw some goulish figures. So have a skeleton twink, a Japanese albino vampire/ghost, and my spin on #blackgirlmagic. Whether I ever stop using these monochromatic color schemes (particularly red), nobody knows.

O negative

Wanted to get some color practice in + everyone was doing witchsonas a while back so here’s my being late to every party. He’s a blood witch who collects bloodroot for his spells/ potions and wears open shirts for easy access to his own abdomen? yeah.. let’s go with that.

They are the hunters, we are the foxes

More doodles! My Teen Wolf stick-thing-weilding bbys (uncharacteristically sexy dress was unintentional I swear...) I actually like how these turned out - might color them laterr

Batter Up!

Floating faces in saturated colors on an absent background — how novel. Late-night color/ brush/ hair practice. School’s starting up so probably will be really busy, but gonna need to get my drawing fix in somehow, right? (expect many doodles)

Journey

Pokemon Journey illustration thing because I just had a birthday but will pretty much never be too old for Pokemon. Also Ninetales <3

I will be your champion

A friend and I were talking about living in the GoT verse and I was inspired to doodle a pretty knight dude and a pretty (Dornish?) man in robes. Maybe they can be friends, idk. 

references used for armor, robes, + horse

Derek, you dork

Character development, yay! Here are sketches of a character in a story I have floating around in my head. Still figuring out his design but his name is Derek. Ok he looks like an Asian Tyler Hoechlin knockoff but I promise he’s not

Derek runs a consulting firm (of sorts), does not actually have a man bun, and collects antiques in his spare time. More to come on Derek and his friends (some glimpses already posted on the blog). Also, chest hair is hard to draw...

Wendy Tells a Story

Completed arttrade for studiohoneytiger !! (Sorry it’s a day late). Featuring bright colors, background plants (background plants are so hard to draw) and what are essentially older animal gijinkas? So far I’ve taken to naming them TJ, Calvin, and Tim but idk. 

Hope you like itttt (:

Face 3

Warm up doodle — my depictions of pretty boy faces were getting stale so I brushed up a little. Lines + solids practice (what is style consistency). Reference used.

Hark, an ArtTrade!

Exciting stuff! studiohoneytiger and I are doing an art trade! We’ve both been a little behind on progress (forgot to bring my tablet to New York...) but here are some sneaky preview photos to tide each other over. 

So much orange. So hard to color match.

Animals

An assignment from my digital illustration class this semester. We had to depict three animals in the same scene. And then slapped on an eye-searing yellow variant just because. 

Graphite + Digital

(Look forward to a couple more animals in the coming days)

Holy Batman, an update!

I can’t believe that after a whole year including a semester of an illustration course I haven’t update this blog. Well I may or may not have a lot of free time in the coming year, so here’s to reinvesting in old projects. Not an actual finished piece (maybe next post?) but here are some doodles of peeps I’ve done that I kind of like — what is style consistency?

Defenseless

So much for posting more often... It's not that I'm not drawing, I just haven't done anything worth posting... I like how this came out though! For those times that life just sucker punches you in the face.
