Field of Flowers
Garden Cat Stretches
I wanted to create something a little simpler and spring-like. Glad I was successful with one of those goals at least. :)I also wanted to play around with different styles and ideas. Done almost entirely in Clip Studio Paint.
Window Petals
Done in Clip Studio Paint. Feeling a bit spring-y. Living that #finishednotperfect life 🙂
Plant Magic Flute
I’ve been trying to do more in Procreate. This was an idea that I came up with randomly while doing another piece and wanted to give it a go. Might upload the video process here later if there’s interest.
Birdhouse Study
Birdhouse study from a Pinterest pin I of a photo I believe by Lori Jolly. #FinishedNotPerfect. Done in Procreate using brushes from Mike McCain and Frankentoon over a couple hours.
Cabin in the Woods Study
I came across a great photo of a cabin in the woods by Daniel Cristian over at Unsplash and decided to use it for a nature study. Done in Procreate over an hour and a half using brushes from Frankentoon (my favorite!) and Mike McCain. #FinishedNotPerfect

Can’t say I’m an expert (or anywhere near it) but having fun incorporating stock photos and my art. The photo of the lovely yellow wild flowers is from Unsplash user Jeremy Bishop.
Forest Lady Blue- Walk-through and Thoughts
I initially started with a rough sketch idea. Some of the sketch is still visible. Prior to this when it is just a sketch I feel pretty excited and hopeful about the piece. In my head it is full of light and feels and most importantly finished. The next step shown above is where I start to lose all hope of that. This is usually the point where (at my current skill level) I realize my vision and current skillset don’t match and HOLY CRAP I don’t know how to paint or draw anything. Then I pull out one of 100s of brushes that are like stamps and play around.…
Breathing Again || project news!
I’ve been busting my butt on this comic project proposal and learning a lot in the process. Those may be some of the best pages I have ever done 🙂 Now I really need a break.
Been busy
I’ve been a bit busy as of late creating game assets for a really cool project called Fuze for the Nintendo Switch. I’m excited about the additional assets I have planned but have to put it on a warm back burner as I work on another big project that I’m excited about!
