Hey guys! Here are the PSD files for the pieces I worked on last month. I know I've been silent since the start of the new year. An update on my situation is coming soon, sorry for the wait!

Christmas has come early! I finally got around to organizing my tools in Clip Studio Paint. So here is my new brush set. There are 36 brushes (CSP subtools) in total. If you want to see how I use them there will be a video published on YouTube tomorrow morning where I explain how I use them!

Here are the PSD files for the illustrations I worked on this month! I'm posting them a little early as I'm leaving for a short vacation and will only be back in the first week of January. Lots of great things are planned for 2025!
Finished up this piece! I will post the PSD next week with the other things I worked on this past month.

I've been working on this new painting and here are some progress shots. I understand they're taken quite far into the progress, but I still have a long way to go to complete this piece. I didn't do a fully shaded drawing before painting, but rather started with a very rough colour sketch and painted directly on top. There's just 1 layer for the...

Here's a new character design! I'm getting pretty comfortable with this process now and can play a bit with different effects and presentation ideas for better storytelling.

Hey everyone! Here's a quick illustration I did to test out some workflows. It's not super polished but I think it gets the idea across. I know I have a lot of pieces in progress now that I need to finish, but sometimes my brain just wanders and I can't help but start something new.

I've been honing in on a process and style that I'm starting to be happy with. The Challenger was the last character I did in this style but the process was messy. This time I had a better idea of what I was shooting for but the sketch ended up being a struggle anyways. All in all, there's something about the simplicity of the process and the ap...

2024-11-17 15:10:16 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! I wanted to type up a post outlining my plans for 2025. I'll try to keep this post short and to the point. I've learned so much over the last year regarding creating a class, launching my own course platform, and everything to do with becoming a self-sustainable artist/art business. All-in-all, my strategies were far from perfect b...

Hey everyone! I restarted this character this morning and this is where I am so far with the design. I figured I'd focus more on the design itself with Lineart rather than jumping into painting right away. I really like the direction in which it's going this time!

Autumn is my favorite time of the year and while wrapping up this illustration I was really inspired to bring some of that cozy sensation and golden hour light to the mood of the painting. This is the main illustration I focussed on this month. The PSD for this illustration and the other studies I worked on this month can be downloaded using the...

I've been doing a lot of "RnD" to test different approaches to designing, painting, drawing etc. Some approaches were more focused on lines and design while others were more focused on painting, material representation, and color. I've always searched for a style that balances the high fidelity of realistic rendering with the grit and flow of ...

There won't be a livestream in the next two weeks, but keep your eye out for a new lineart tutorial on my YouTube channel I've scheduled for this Sunday. See you in a couple of weeks!

Today I'll be tackling a subject I haven't heard a lot of people discuss, and that's finding/creating your artstyle. This has been an ongoing process for me for the past few years and I'm due for another review!
