Hi, guys and gals! I'm just gonna do a little unplanned, rambling update here! - I've been working on commissions over the last few weeks, but I've also been painting some fun stuff in my sketchbook! I'm trying to get better about a) exploring random concepts that interest me b) actually think critically about the colors I choose and c) don't feel pressured to make IG-worthy work every time. - All of that being said, following almost daily posting in March, I'm pulling waaayyyy back on social media. I'd rather have fewer-but-better posts than tons and tons of work that's just shoved out to meet my "deadline." So I'm working on my phone photography as well! - Lastly, I've been learning about Adobe Premiere for video editing. It's soooooo much better than Camtasia, so I think I'm gonna have to add that to my Adobe subscription. I have two videos in the final editing stages, so look for that! . . . #painting #color #gouache #update #illustration #artistsoninstagram #wip #flatlaystyle #watercolor #characterillustration

Okay I'm making this an official post. I'll still be checking in during the evenings, but I'm just super busy with commissions this week and I'm cutting out distractions. If you wanna message me or anything, I'll definitely see it :) (Also totally still open for commissions! Just not distracting browsing 😭)

Inking aka my favorite thing of all time 💕 And honestly pine trees are probably one of my favorite parts of nature to draw. So chill and relaxed! . . . . #inking #comic #comicink #panel #page #update #landscape #illustration #wip #lineart #originalart #artistsoninstagram #pinetree #comicart

So. Uh. Never give up 😂 2003 and 2018. 15 years of practice pays off, my friends. 13yo me would have been in awe of where I am now. Who knows where I'll be in 15 more years? . . . . #tbt #throwbackthursday #paintinf #gouache #illustration #thenandnow #artisticgrowth #oc #originalcharacter #artwork #characterdesign #redesign #comic #webcomic

Actually quite happy with this painting. In fact, happy enough to offer prints of it in my Storenvy shop! I can't list the original, cuz it was in my sketchbook. - I'm really fascinated by leafy shadows, and I've tried to tackle it a number of times, but this might be my strongest result yet. I like the lighting and the minimal branches... I just like the all around image I guess! - Anyhoo, check out the link in my bio to see where you can buy a copy of this for yourself! (I'm going to spend this evening editing and posting several comic pages because I'm ridiculously behind on those!) . . . . #painting #gouache #comic #character #portrait #originalart #watercolor #illustration #commissionsopen #princess #eleanor #leaf #leaves #shadows #fashion #floral #leafpainting #print #storenvy #storenvyshop #lavender #green #garden #comiccharacter #webcomic #ocs

This is pretty much just a color study. I wanted to try a muted, darker foreground, with a vibrant background (because why not?)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The end result isn't necessarily the best, but I certainly learned a lot while working on this, so it counts as a win in my book! I mainly struggled with the tone of her skin and her hair. I wanted it to look like it was in shadow, but it kept getting muddy (struggles with gouache!) But in the end I like the way it came out! I kinda just want to do the exact painting again XD⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #painting #gouache #gouacheillustration #gouachepainting #illustration #artist #comic #character #concept #colorstudy #watercolor #scenery #woman #landscape #eleanor #princess #hair #forest #originalart #stonewall #practice #artistforhire #freelanceartist #portrait

Technically, #marchofocs Day 28! The last couple of days of March got a little busy, so I missed the last 2 OC paintings. But hey! I'm pretty proud of 28/30! Not super happy with this final painting, but I just wanted to try and "fill" the space. I didn't plan it as much as I should have, but I'm okay with it! - For April, I want to challenge myself to create more "complete" illustrations (with backgrounds and stronger storytelling.) I'm not sure about subject matter, but I want to do at least a couple master studies to improve my lighting and composition skills. And just get better acquainted with gouache of course! - Thanks to all the new folks following me and everyone who commented on all of my random OC paintings! Once my workload settles a bit, I'm still hoping to do another giveaway! In the meantime, you can buy this and other gouache paintings in my Storenvy shop (link in bio.) PEACE. . . . . #gouache #gouacheillustration #painting #character #characterdesign #30daychallenge #originalart #illustration #commissionsopen #freelanceartist #comic #webcomic #originalcharacter #watercolor #military #generaldazer #dazerandeleanor #background #study #artforsale #bristolpaper

I announced this is my stories, but not my actual feed 😂 I SET UP A STORENVY! If you've had your eye on one of my latest gouache pieces, now is your chance to nab one! I've already given some away as prizes (and I'm not selling the ones of other people's OCs), so the selection is somewhat limited. Grab one before they're all gone! . . . . . . . . . #gouache #art #painting #illustration #drawing #watercolor #gouachepainting #artist #sketch #instaart #artistsoninstagram #paint #artwork #illustrator #draw #design #watercolour #artoftheday #creative #watercolorpainting #portrait #storenvy #storenvyshop #newartwork #commissionsopen

I hope you enjoy your new art, and be sure to post something when it arrives! . . . . #originalart #forsale #storenvy #storenvyshop #artforsale #gouachepainting #ink #inkillustration #illustration #customart #ordershipped #artistsoninstagram #mail #goodfriday
