A little Eleanor gouache painting I did last night, using my new palette set up. Nothing too remarkable, since it's all the same old paint, but I do like have then pans of paint rather than little wells (or whatever you call those.)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Also, in case you missed it, I added honey to my gouache to try and prevent cracking/crumbling. I checked the paints today and they're still soft and moist! So that's already an improvement over straight paint on a palette. I assume eventually the paint will turn hard, but I use my gouache fairly regularly, so it gets re-wet often.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ More importantly: ARE YOU GUYS READY FOR TURKEY DAY?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #gouache #gouachepainting #gouachepaint #gouacheillustration #gouacheart #illustration #characterdesign #characterconcept #comiccharacter #princess #eleanor #webcomic #webtoons #webtooncomic #onlinecomic #comicart #painting #paintingillustration #braidedhairstyles #illustrationnow #artistsoninstagram #illustratorsoninstagram #originalcharacter #originalart #originalpainting #dazerandeleanor #romancecomic #fantasycomic #linewebtoons

On a whim, I decided to redo my #artvshero post. I've learned a lot since my last one, and I'm seriously honing in on what I love to make and how I like to make it. - Clockwise from top left: Jeff Smith Bill Watterson Hugo Pratt (just discovered) Hiromu Arakawa Naoki Urasawa Hal Foster Hergé Harry Beckhoff (newly discovered) - Pratt and Beckhoff are both new to me, but they immediately became huge inspirations to me! Specially in terms of line art and color. (I kicked out Leyendecker 😭 I still love his work, but it's ultimately not what I'm going for.) . . . . #webcomic #webcomics #webtoon #drawing #comicart #comicbooks #comicbook #illustration #comicseries #comics #indiecomics #inkart #inkdrawing #artistsoninstagram #inking #lineart #pen #design #traditionalart #inked #penart #webcomics #comiccharacter #nibpen #indiaink

This page (from chapter 1) will always have a soft spot in my heart, because this is about where I really felt my style start to solidify. I've gotten better since drawing this, of course, but this page just felt so natural for me. It was a pretty swell feeling!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now I have a colored version! I challenged myself to paint very bold colors, in very thick layers, and I like the result! I'm still struggling with my color choices a bit and gouache isn't the easiest medium for being consistent, but it was a very fun experiment with results that I'm okay with!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Aaaaaand back to drawing the rest of chapter 2. You can read my work on Webtoons and SmackJeeves! I hope your week is off to a good start! Anyone else get snow today?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #illustrationnow #gouachepainting #watercolor #webcomic #webtoon #dazerandeleanor #comicpanel #paintedcomics #comiccharacter #originalcharacter #smackjeeves #wip #princess #eleanor #gouacheillustration

Oookaaayy here's a special lil surprise gift for @ladypepperofdavenshire! She's been a great support her on IG, as well as buying me coffee and supporting me on Patreon! These are her characters, Cornelia and Trenton, from her comic MAELSTROM! It's a very sweet comic with touching stories and lots of laughs as well, and I HIGHLY recommend it! - I have emotionally adopted these two and their relationship is very important to my own well-being. You know how it is. Cornelia reminds me a lot of Eleanor, but Trenton enjoys his life waaaaayyyyyy more than Dazer XD - Anyways, I hope you like it, Jessica :D . . . #illustrationnow #comiclineart #comiccharacters #maelstromcomic #comicfanart #inkart #inklineart #comicink #giftart #originalart #trenelia #corneliahayden #trentonmaverick #comicart #onlinecomics #webcomicstrip

We had a beautiful snow this morning ❤️ I've been sitting at my desk, enjoying the view, listening to Tchaikovsky, and just feeling kinda peaceful. A new @linewebtoon episode goes up tomorrow, but I have to babysit all day, so I'm trying to get it finished before tonight. It's a short one, so I think it's doable. - Also it looks like I have ALL of next week off from babysitting soooo I'm pretty excited! . . . #hyperlapse #nibpendrawing #timelapseart #comicart #lineart #illustrationartists #inking #inkart #comicpanel #artvideos #artinprogress

I'm inking my pages this evening with my new Tachikawa G nibs and I'm in love 😍 - Also feeling a lull in my enthusiasm for comicking today. I did a lot of work and I think it turned out okay, but my heart wasn't quite there. - I kinda feel like I need a break in my routine. Like a mini vacation or something. Or a staycation 😂 But after this episode, I only have 2 more before I take time off for Christmas, so I'm gonna just push through. - Don't worry: I'm not gonna burn out or anything ;) This isn't serious. It's just the dreary reality of doing a project for a long time 🙃 . . . #comicillustration #comiccharacter #lineart #timelapse #drawingvideo #originalcharacter #timelapseart #webcomic #webtoons #profiledrawing #inkart #inkingcomics

IG won't let me upload videos to my stories sooo I'll share these as a post. First impressions of the Tachikawa G nibs! I'm impressed by the versatility. It can really do a variety of strokes but because it's a nib, you have a lot of control! Looking forward to using it :D . . . #tachikawa #gnib #dippen #inkart #comicart #firstimpressions #indiaink #lineart

Here are some more Posca marker sketches! Long-time followers miiiight know who this is ;) - As I've mentioned, I have a limited palette with these markers, but it's crazy how "unlimited" it can feel! Maybe it's the fact that I don't have to think about the colors too much while I'm working. Sometimes "no choice" is the best way to go, I guess! - Anyways, these two characters are oldies (although not as old as Dazer and Eleanor.) The story has taken lots of shapes, but it's usually a post-apocalyptic narrative about re-discovering what it means to be human #nbd. I love these two, and I hope I get to finish the story some day so I can share it with all of you! - (The guy, Ames, originally had black hair. But after drawing Dazer, I decided to just arbitrarily switch to blond, and I dig it. . . . #illustrationnow #poscamarkers #poscapen #characterdesign #characterconcept #originalcharacter #rene #ames #comiccharacters #storyidea #limitedpalette #instaartist #comicartist #conceptdevelopment

I'm running out of things to say about these color tests XD - Basically I'm just picking my favorite pages and experimenting with color palettes. I try to pick pages that might be a bit challenging, so that I can really see what it takes to color a comic by hand. I'll admit, the idea of coloring digitally seems appealing... but I love traditional paint so much! I actually love the "flaws" and mistakes. They give the page so much character and richness! - Plus I just really feel good holding the finished piece in my hand, ya know? Anyhoo. Have a sleepy, grumpy Dazer. . . . #generaldazer #dazerandeleanor #onlinecomic #webcomic #webtoons #illustrationnow #gouacheillustration #gouachepainting #gouachecomic #comicpanel #originalcharacter #comiccharacter #watercolor #wordballoon
