Pushing through the doldrums of winter, I made a collection of pixel art, sketches, and drawings I’ve been making over the past month.
As I’m figuring out the last of my commissions, I’m thinking of ways to change up my art output. The chief catalyst is buying a new iPad to sketch in it everyday like my past sketchbooks. It’s been tough as I keep shifting my art attentions around pixel art, digital illustration and general sketching.
Continue readingIf you’re interested in drawing more, but don’t know where to start, I recommend keeping a small sketchbook close to you! When I’m at my day job and away from my drawing desk, having a small sketchbook helps me jot down ideas I get.
A while ago, I dropped a short blog post about ways you can get in drawing practice. In it, I discus sketchbooks that I’ve used before, so I’m elaborating more on cool sketchbooks to draw in.
Continue readingIt’s incredible that it’s already summer and halfway thorough the year! I’m keeping my nose to the grindstone, working on Blackmask, and popping up at small conventions to keep my art out there.
Let me give you a scoop on what I’ve been doing for the past few months and what the future brings for the next few months!
Continue readingPosting these sketchbook sketches isn’t as prominent as I need to be since I’m busy with some bigger projects and shows. My business has been cranking up and I get worried if I’m overwhelming myself.
This week’s sketchbook has stuff I drew at conventions I went to over the past few weeks. I’ll talk more about the convention times later.
Here’s sketches in a new sketchbook. These toon proportions are rubbish but I am looking back at drawng humans again. I tilt to a realistic style when I draw humans so I wanted to take my approach my animal designs to human characters.

This week I did some digital art to a finished point. I saw cow bikini’s show up on my Pinterest and I had a tiny gag in mind.
Continue readingAnother week of sketches I’ve been cooking up in my spare time to keep myself going during the daily grind.
This week and the future, I’m starting a new task where I scan and show art that I’ve been working on for the past few days.
These are the daily sketches I post on my social accounts as fuzzy phone pictures. When I get the time, I scan them and edit the pictures for clarity or future coloring. Being honest with myself, these end up just being in my computer files and then abandoned as it’s hard to finish art when I hate the coloring process.
Continue readingTo help people out with their New Year’s Resolutions of learning to draw, I thought I’d drop in my two cents on getting started or getting into it.
A concern I find is the lack of time to draw. When I’m always on the go and away from my drawing desk at my day job, having a small sketchbook helps me jot down ideas!
Continue readingOne month left in 2022! Time has flown fast for me! I’ve been trying to stuff as many of my art projects into the month as I can while keeping my sanity!
The first big thing I can say in November is that there’s now a new website for Blackmask and news of its development! This is a large task that’s been taking up my time. Even if I’m getting things down on this website, there’s still much to learn about self-promotion.
I will say to join the Blackmask Mailing List! It’s a direct way to get news of our progress without missing any of my posts due to algorithms. Now that the website is set up, it’ll be less confusing for anyone who’s been following my website and getting unrelated news.
