Added 2025-04-19 12:00:37 +0000 UTChey patrons! it's that time again to share what's been going on in my sketchbook! It's been all over the place these past couple of weeks. It's been a place to just jot down ideas and sketch things out quickly before I forget them lol
some bill and saul doodles and character exploration
soooo much thumbnailing! too many ideas for paintings but I'm trying to focus on just a few things this month
quick 20-30 digital concept painting exercises! challenging myself to tell a story in one image
my thumbnailing for the new tier illustrations
infinity nikki study
apple jack dev
expressing my stress through self portraiture lol (taxes were confusing this year smh I am so glad it's over!)
some gesture warm ups that I liked :B
hope you guys enjoyed getting to see my sketchbook! there are so many ideas I want to pursue so I'm looking forward to sharing more of the finished versions of these sketches in the future <3
a reminder: thank you all so much for the support! I really appreciate every single one of you for enabling me to work full time on these projects. I am feeling really grateful these days <3
