VIDEO Colored Inks and Artistic Fear

Well I did it! I finally produced a new YouTube video! I felt that an appropriate topic would be fear of failure… since that’s the main reason I haven’t produced a video till now! Please check out the video, and leave a comment with any suggestions for improvements or future topics!

What If Someone Already Did It?

I’m in the muddy-middle of my developing comic right now. The story almost totally nailed down, and the art for the first chapter (50 or so pages) is well underway. In a way, it’s the hardest part: the end is nowhere in sight, and the initial burst of inspiration has faded away. Around this point,… Read More What If Someone Already Did It?

Don’t Put Up Your Open Sign First

Taking little steps has never been a strength of mine. I’m a brainstorming, big picture, grand scheme type of gal. I prefer to immediately leap into action rather than plan or inch forward. When I approach a new project, I love developing the brand and marketing approach… actually developing content behind the scenes? Much less glamorous.… Read More Don’t Put Up Your Open Sign First

#WIPWednesday – Course Correcting Your Week

 It’s Wednesday, which means we’re half-way through the week! Wednesday is also a good time to look back at the first couple of days and reflect on what we’d like to do differently before the week is over. For me, I constantly need to evaluate how productive I actually am, and compare it to how… Read More #WIPWednesday – Course Correcting Your Week

The 5 Worst Excuses I Give Myself

As an artist, there are a lot of things that I say to myself (sometimes without noticing) that make it really hard to work. It’s a habit of psychological “nagging” that cuts down on my productivity, but also my confidence. While I’ve gotten a little bit better at it over the years (as I get… Read More The 5 Worst Excuses I Give Myself

I... I have nothing to add to this post. (Except that I’m sooo excited to start publishing episodes again.) #lineart #comicink #comicillustration #webcomicartist #webtooncomic
I couldn't stop myself from sharing this panel, because it's easily one of the best panels I've ever drawn. Dazer's jawline and hair get a lot of attention, but quick shoutout to his eyebrows as well. Those angry bois are heckin' fun to draw. (Comic resumes on January 4th!) #webcomicartist #comicpanel #lineart #traditionalinking #webtoonscomic
It’s sunny and I have art to make. ‘Tis a good day. #pencilsketching #comicartist #drawingtimelapse #sketchvideo #webcomicart
This was from September... I remember feeling dissatisfied with it for some reason so I never shared it, but looking at it now I like it a lot. I kinda like the idea of him somehow being a rival against Dazer (since they were boys and now for Eleanor’s affection), but I’m not sure where it’d fit in the story. (Dazer is secretly jealous of the impressive scars 😂) #characterconcept #characterart #fantasycharacter #watercolorillustrations
Huh... A couple of these seem so long ago! I can’t believe they were all painted this year! #mytopnine #topnine2019 #watercolorart #watercolorillustration
I’m trying to get into a habit of being more open to the random ideas in my head. I feel like there are lots of things I want to sketch, but I always stop myself if I can’t think of a way to “finish” it. If it isn’t for a painting or comic page, I don’t draw it. - I think it’s because I used to ONLY sketch random stuff, so I forced myself to focus on projects and goals... but now I’ve gone too far 😂 Anyways, here’s a tiny Dyn, shooting his way out of a problem! #pencilsketching #characterdrawing #comiccharacter #comicartist
Another snippet from a newly colored page! I actually really love the warm bits in the cloud. The hardest part of digital coloring (for me) is adding subtle elements, and not just "filling" all the areas. 2 pages down! #webcomic #digitalcolor #webtoonscomic #comicpanel
“So when I’m king, will I outrank you?” - “You already outrank me, actually.” - “Really??” #watercolorsketch #watercolorsketchbook #charactersketches #pentalicaquajournal
I finally added this illustration to RedBubble ❤️ There’s a CyberMonday sale going on right now so today is a good day to stock up on stickers (and other goodies!) #watercolorpainting #findyourthing #redbubbleartist #artstickers
Okay so here are the two main announcements I wanna make: my comic will resume (with weekly updates!) on January 4th, AND colored comic pages will be available to Patrons starting Dec. 15! I’m so psyched to continue the comic, and I’m also excited for my new Patreon structure. I have a feeling that 2020 is gonna be a good year and I’m grateful for everybody who’s sticking with me throughout this process ❤️
🍁 Happy Thanksgiving 🍁 I am so immensely grateful for the art community here. I’m thankful for all of the connections and friendships that I’ve discovered, and every sweet conversation and comment. You all mean so much to me, and you give me the motivation to keep adding my work to the world. Thank you ♥️ #watercolorpainting #watercolordrawing #webcomicartist #comiccharacter
“I always accept a decent apology. A decent one, Dyn. One that actually means something.” Heh heh heh 😎 I talked with @caperandcrow and @chivaree_art about this character’s design, so I felt inspired to give her some love. #watercolortimelapse #watercolorpainting #watercolordrawing #premiererush #paintingvideo
Here's one of the panels from my impromptu livestream! I'm kinda excited that I have so much digital work to do, because it's a LOT easier to set up a digital livestream than a physical one (because of lighting and camera angles and stuff.) Also I'm just feeling super motivated right now, because adding color to my old pages is pumping new life into them <3 #webcomicartist #comicpanel #comicartist #webtooncomic #comicillustrator
What a crazy week! My car problems are dealt with, I managed to resurrect my computer, and I babysat for 48 hours straight. It was intense. But all’s well now, and I bought some flannel sheets to celebrate (and relax.) Thanks for your sweet support ❤️ #comicink #traditionalink #webcomicartist #webcomicseries #webtooncomic
Revisited a painting from earlier this year (swipe to see details and the original) and ahhhhhhhhh so satisfying in so many ways 😍 This makes me want to redo other paintings. The idea is already there, so I just do it... better 😂 #watercolorpainting #illustrationartist #comicartist #webcomicartist #watercolordrawing
So Hobby Lobby has these precious little frames that I’m in love with. They’re glass in the front and back, so you can see through them, and for some reason I love framing tiny things 😂 #watercolorpainting #watercolordrawing #comicartist #framedartwork @hobbylobby
The problem with “warm up” paintings is that I often like them more than “real” paintings 😂 This one in particular came out nicely without much effort, so it was genuinely relaxing! #watercolordrawing #watercolorsketch #comiccharacter #comicartist
I shared this in my stories, but I’ll share it here too! I’m having soooooo much fun playing with brushes in Photoshop! I genuinely think this coloring style improves the art! #webcomicartist #webtooncomic #comiccoloring #digitalcoloring
