#sketchbook#SketchbookPro#illustration#timelapse Now I know this is just another sketchbook page to all of you but for now I am using this as a sort of digital journal to study my art journey. I know I am not posting regularly but I would like to keep showing my work for all to see. So if you would LIKE, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE. It is much appreciated :D

My absolute favorite character from the show, Raven. I have been watching the old teen titans cartoon and I just had to draw her. Her character fits my sense of humor perfectly sarcastic and moody XD

I know it has been a little while since I have posted anything but hey, everyone needs a break. I know mine was a good long one but I wanted to figure some stuff out. Anyway I am back and I wanted to share a character that I thought was cute! Also if anyone has any suggestions for cartoon characters that they would like to see me draw let me know in the comment section below!!

Yup another process video. Wait.... a voiced over 2D PROCESS VIDEO!!! Well it had to happen at some point. I discuss issues with my drawing style and some of the things that I like about my characters. #sketchbook#sketching#illustration#characterdesign#originalcharacters#originalwork

#Avatar#LastAirBender#Zbrush#Sculpting Sculpted Katara from Avatar: The Last Airbender easily one of my favorite cartoons growing up. Katara wasn't my favorite character but I really did like her look in book three. Anyways I wanted to do some fanart. Hope you all like it! :D

#Zbrush #Sculpting #CharacterSculpting #DigitalSculpting I decided I was going to do some commentary on my process! I was really happy with the result of this sculpt and man did it challenge me. I ended up using a lot more tools than I usually do. Even did some Zmodeling. Anyway let me know what you think and if you thought and if you want to see more!

I always fall back on studying poses when I cannot figure something out to draw. It definitely strays from my regular content but I "figured" it might be nice to show what I do to break through artist block or at least keep active while I am stuck.

#fanart #2020 #Sculpting #Zbrush I decided to do a "fanart" of one of my favorite characters from recent media. I actually sculpted this twice but the first one was.... Yikes. this one came out much better in my opinion. Anyway this is to show that I am still working on 3d modeling and sculpting I haven't stopped that.

This is the video for my inking and coloring of my last sketch. Normally I don't color my pieces because I never feel like it comes out well, but this time around I felt it did. Sorry for the lack of audio on this one, again I am not the best at picking music for my stuff, still hesitant to talk over my stuff. Anyway... ANCHORS AWEIGH!!

I am really loving the pirate character so I decided to pose her. And as a heads up I have colored her and I will be posting a video of that later in the week! Stay tuned to watch me fumble around with colors...

This is just a keeping up with practice video. Since I have been trying my best to keep a consistent upload schedule I have been practicing a lot more. Wish I was a little more focused on it, and actually had a real plan for these pages. Anyway this is a two for one as in two sketches but stick around and enjoy. Plus if anyone is really wanting to watch these with my voice over let me know otherwise I might just keep doing this.

The reason I am posting videos like this is to hopefully get a sense of what I should be doing with these videos. This one was a lot of fun to do and again sketches like this never take me long, the process of figuring out what to sketch takes longer. : / Anyway I hope that people like this one she was a fun one to design. :)

Decided to do something a little more pinup like. Might do a few more of these in the future. This drawing took me 15 minutes.

Decided to draw my character as a pirate. And yes.... she's an elf. Anywho hope everyone enjoys this, and again music is a real struggle for me.

Just keeping active with my sketching. Working through some ideas, or emotions... whichever happens first.
