Process + tips - funky car

Cars, robots, and machinery rely on strong perspective to make sense visually.Looking at the pic above, u can see the perspective box I drew over the car. I kept a rough visual of that in mind as I made the sketch (left), and most details followed it loosel...

I'm loving the cute style that's happening... strong sticker contender perhapsAlso I drew some Tyler fanart but in a quicker, messier style 🔥🔥 The key difference here is that I'm only using my pencil brush to stay loose and really push those textures.I've also been trying to keep up with my ge...

Process video - On my 'puter
Watch how I painted this piece from start to finish 🙌Footage is sped up 300%This one was a great exercise in controlling isolated light sources. Towards the end, you might notice that I actually darkened the entire scene and introduced that deep blue background. This let me push the glow of the tablet screen, and get that really nice illuminated effect with the lighting.Want a closer look at my...

art dump #6 ✏️
Warmups! For these, i've been experimenting with applying shapes, type, and color into full pages. Less of an exercise, and more like... improv Snippet of some anatomy simplification studies. Also thought these dudes kinda look like Bomberman (Cropped bc the full page is very messy and not presentable lol)Begun painting Mr Afro Samurai!! Very fun but challenging exercise where I combine 2 ref ...

art dump #3 ✏️
This one is a pretty sick idea i've been sitting on for a while. I wanted to do a self portrait but with the brain and skull bits exposed- not in a gory way but more like an anotomical sculpture made up of different visible layers. When i get around to rendering, I think it'd be best to play up my blocky/simplified style to avoid this from looking too macabre. Hopefully that shouldn't ...
