Tutorial for October! I hope this helps you guys gain more confidence in your portrait drawings! I highly recommend you follow along with your own sketchbook or tablet while you watch this video. Remember the best way to retain the information you learn is to put it into practice! Try to find some references from different angles and see if you ...

Wanted to focus on rendering the very harsh and overexposed light here in this reference. I found this especially interesting because the entire light section of the face is essentially free of any details. The lighting scenario kind of forces you to push your simplification. These harsh light scenarios are some of my favourites just because of ...

A tutorial on lighting! This video will go over my understanding of light, how it works, how to observe it in your references, and how to render it in your paintings! There's going to be some concepts that overlap with our last rendering tutorial, so it'll be helpful to watch both as you learn :) The psd file is attached below along with the ref...

Super fun process painting this piece. I wanted to try rending flash lighting here, definitely not something I do very often but I actually really enjoy how this turned out. With flash lighting it seems like subjects tend to get flattened out a bit, and shadows tend to emerge on the outer edges of subjects. You can see this example on the pipes ...

A fun study of a really cute scene. If you guys ever watch my process videos involving both backgrounds and characters, you'll notice that I tend to work from the back to the front. Meaning whatever is farthest from the camera is what I try to address first. There's a couple of reasons for this.
1. It helps me organize my layers really e...

This was an interesting process since it isn't my typical subject matter LOL. If you watch through the process you'll see that I actually went a little bit more realistic on the rendering, and then had to pull myself back a bit to maintain stylization and simplification. Sometimes it's truly important to keep yourself moving to avoid getting cau...

Adding onto our previous tutorial! This should provide you with all the tools you need to begin rendering in colour for any of your subjects. Remember to isolate main colours and work from large to small, blocks to details. I hope this helps! If you guys have any questions feel free to ask! I'll attach the psd file below for you guys if you wann...

Found a really cool ref on pinterest and had this idea in my head, I think originally I had imagined a bit of a darker scene but as I kept working, it took on a life of its own, the mood feels way more relaxing here than I intended and somehow I really appreciate that. Also decided to try a few different poses for the character just to add a bit...

I focused on simplification in this one. Simplifying the facial features and details of the character, along with adding stylization. I also tried to extend the simplification process to my brush strokes as well, I've been noticing that sometimes my brushwork would feel too "busy" in recent pieces, so that was something I wanted to get in the ha...

Here's a simple lesson on how I approach colour theory! Important to keep these concepts in mind as you venture into painting. I realize a lot of people might not have gotten formal education on this stuff so I try to make the concepts as easy to understand as possible. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and thanks for letting me be par...

Hey guys! I've gotten a chance to work in procreate again recently and wanted to share that process here with you guys, I included the full process for two pieces in this video, you can skip to the 2 hr mark for the second piece!
Hope this helps you guys understand my workflow in procreate a bit better, thanks so much for your support! ð...
I'm getting back to basics and teaching you guys some of the most fundamental skills to me in art. Since we'll be keeping these videos up, I'd like to set up some solid foundations for you guys first here before diving deep into more niche topics! Next month I'll try to shift focus a bit to lighting or values, it'll be a natural progression into...

Haven't released this piece publicly yet but wanted to give you guys a first look at the process for it! One of the more fun pieces I've done in a good while. I'm really loving the challenge of the metallic textures. I think as I get more comfortable drawing people I'd like to move into mastering the rendering of a greater range of challenging t...

This was a fun study, my goal was to just let loose a bit and get into the flow of painting. Started with no sketch in this case because anytime something is interacting with water we tend to lose the solid and defined shapes, so a lot of these colours and strokes are just put down by vibes lol. I'll probably work on a few more of these, I'm fin...
