Sketchbook

This week I feel like I'm moving at a snail's pace 🐌 Stuff is getting done, just really really slowly. Have you ever experienced that? Any ways here's a video outlining my process for prepping my sketchbook drawings for digital painting and I could use some help deciding which colour direction to go. Thinking of portraying a misty/rainy spring morning for this family of snails. #process #timelapse #video #art #drawing #painting #photoshop #colours #snails #nature #mushrooms #slope #illustration #worldbuilding #personalproject #micro #landscape #journey #traditional #digital #realistic #imagination #scenery #story #clovers #foliage

Building out a night scene in the forest 🌳 with lighting coming from underneath. #sketch #graphite #brush #illustration #instaart #process #wip #mushrooms #forest #caterpillar #nature #sketchbook #personalproject #ink #drawing #leaves #trees #worldbuilding #fantasy #creature #habitat #artistoninstagram

It's been a hectic few weeks. Getting back into personal work this weekend. Working on a couple of new pieces, all of which involves bugs 🐜🐛🐝🕷🐞 #drawing #illustration #graphite #traditional #sketchbook #process #video #timelapse #painting #sketch #moth #nature #art #pencil #brush #wip #personalproject

More twisted trees and branches with a few signs of life. 🌷 #spring #digitalpainting #forest #grass #snail #ladybug #inkdrawing #nature #worldbuilding #fantasy #imagination #noreference #flowers #roots #vines #spheres #landscape #personalproject #illustration #wip

Playing around with filters on a rough sketch. I'm thinking this might be a good one to render at dusk. 🤔 #penandink #pencil #sketch #inkdrawing #temple #jungle #ruins #abandonedplaces #fictional #imagination #noreference #environment #trees #foliage #architecture #building #ancient #filter #drawing #art #concept #worldbuilding #personalproject #wip #mondaymood

Have you ever wanted to give up half way? 😪That's how I felt about this piece. Today I was going to call it in because the image wasn't coming together and I wasn't "feeling it." But then I gave myself a mental kick-in-the-lizard-brain, and found the discipline to see it through to the end. My idea was to create a loading screen background in a storybook style. #digitalpainting #digitalart #inkdrawing #brush #trees #castle #snake #eggs #fantasy #adventure #storytelling #personalproject #wip #illustration #worldbuilding #photoshop #imagination #artistsoninstagram #artist #sketch #craft #thursdaymotivation #instart #sunset #environment #architecture #illustrator

Painting my ink drawing. This is half way done. There's a bottom half which involves painting water textures and reflections which I haven't quite figured out yet. Here's the process so far including a short, spazzy video clip of me troubleshooting perspective. 😅What kind of visual problems do you come across in your art and how do you solve them? #digitalpainting #little #village #photoshop #perspective #problemsolving #colour #scene #worldbuilding #instart #illustration #personalproject #wip #process #inkdrawing #traditional #digital #mixedmedia #storytelling

Been wrestling with this one for a couple of days. Started as a detailed ink painting. I made it into a quick comp in PS to take more risk with value and lighting. #sketch #castle #interior #concept #noreference #imagination #ink #drawing #digitalpainting #worldbuilding #windows #lighting #test #wip #intricate #personalproject #thursdaynight #historical #architectural #fictional #fantasy #illustration #instart #sketching #rendering #ideas

A little salamander peeks through the columns... I rarely draw reptiles so why not create a scene from their perspective? I had to peek at reference to try to get the anatomy right. I'm also loving this water brush I forgot I had and the way you can layer tones without having to constantly dip the brush. I kind of screwed up the atmospheric effect of the background so I'll just leave you with the good bits for now 😅 #penandinkdrawing #brush #sketch #concept #architecturedrawing #environment #crescent #columns #buildings #imagination #historic #fantasy #worldbuilding #perspective #personalproject #fridayfun #visual #library #illustration #instaart #penandink #sketchbook #traditionalmedia #visualart #artistsoninstagram

Let's take a closer look at the ruins... 👀 #sketching #sketchbook #wip #noreference #noref #concept #drawing #perspective #environment #architecture #conceptart #ancient #ruins #fiction #fantasy #worldbuilding #personalproject #pen #penandink #instaart #illustration #artist #illustrator #panoramic #panorama

This is one of those instances where I overdid it. I probably would have been a lot happier with this piece had I stopped at the line art. 😪What do you think? #sketchbook #sketch #mistakeshappen #brush #penandink #drawing #noreference #conceptart #historical #fantasy #architecture #worldbuilding #personalproject #wip
