Environment studies~
Drew Green Arrow for my girlfriend.
Sorry for lack of update… Anyone who follows me most likely sees my work in different places, so.. /shrug.
Seriously, this is probably my favorite panel I’ve drawn so far for this story (which isn’t saying a lot seeing there are currently only 6 pages). The moment where Merc meets Captain and the Princess and tries to kill them.
Oh the laughs they will have.
the game of cat and mouse has taken on a whole new meaning in Steven Lefcourt’s hilarious new Pokemon Illustration. Soon to be a shirt!

Meowth that’s right.
A painting I did during lunch. About 45 minutes.
Failed the challenge /shame. But I didn’t wanna be my usual self and not update for like half a year, so… have some art that I did a few months ago.. lol. Seriously, I don’t have anything recent to show… Enjoy this for now…

Taking a breather
So I haven’t updated in a couple days.. This is mainly due to exhaustion. My last 2 daily sketches (which I did not post here) were not up to par with the quality I’d like to display, and my attention to detail was steadily dropping. I’ve found that it’s more challenging than it seems to work a digital painting job for 8 hours a day, and then come home to spend a few more hours doing these challenges. I can’t whip up something quick and be proud of the result- not yet anyway. All my challenges I have done have probably taken no less than 2 hours each. I want to be able to build up my speed and eventually have no problem doing a drawing a day on my free time. But it can’t be done right away. I need to learn to pace myself, can’t just run at it full speed.
SO, I will be taking a break over the weekend. Actually, kinda forcefully since I won’t be anywhere near a computer. I’ll be off camping and hopefully clearing my mind and refreshing my senses. Perhaps even a few pencil sketches will come of it. Anyway, just wanted to let my few followers what’s up, and you can expect more updates this coming Monday.
Thanks everyone!

Day 11: Turning Point in your life
My transition in which I “changed sides”. Evolving your art style isn’t always an easy thing to do, but like a lot of artists say, it is most beneficial to you in the end. This transition didn’t happen overnight. It took years of practice- breaking free from the norm, and studying new art techniques I let myself discover in the process. While it seemed everyone around me tried so hard to copy the works of anime, I looked in a direction I had not glanced over since I was maybe 10 years old: Western comic art. I still don’t feel I’ve reached my comfort zone in sense of style, but I do know that I feel more confident and happy about my work than I did when I was drawing anime.
