Hiya Patrons!
I thought I'd give you all an early look at my upcoming YouTube video! I am doing a review of the Asus ProArt PA169PDV. I am only going to be able to show a small portion of this in the YouTube video, but you guys get the whole 20 or so minutes! The entire process took me about 2.5 hours since it was a new display and this was the first thing I have drawn this year...LOL.
The process is sped up 4x and I kind of like how it sounds as well so I left that in...

Hey Everyone!
I am simultaneously sharing updates with you all here on Patreon as well as everyone who pre-ordered the course coming out soon!
So included in this post, is the full resolution .procreate file for this blinking animation for the course illustration! I hope you learn something from it even as it is now and enjoy!
So as far as updates go, yes animation is definitely something that will be covered in detail in the course. The only part of Procreate that I am comp...

All done in Procreate! Exported the frames as PNG, then Rendered in Davinchi Resolve.
I am intensely working to ensure my Procreate course is the BEST ever this month. I plant to continue to share bits and pieces here and there as I go exclusively here.
I included the 'full' resolution frames in this post! They are numbered only 1-10. IF you want, you could try and see if you can arrange them to match the animation! It's in 24 fps, no automatic time stretching involved...

Hey Everyone!
For my fellow Americans, I hope you are having a fantastic Thanksgiving! I wanted to give you all a first look at what I have been working on lately...A little animation for my newest illustration! Not only am I doing this to cover the animation components of Procreate for my course, but to get ready to test out Procreate Dreams!
I know alot of people are doing reviews and I am happy to see it. It is definitely not a beginner friendly app at first glance. Theres ALOT...

Hello Hello Hello!
A little surprise here, but I thought I'd share a quick tutorial on one of the biggest concepts and strategies for making illustrations that I am including in my course!
The key is to keep your values in the right places! Group them! Make good looking shapes!
Using 2, 3, and 5 values alone, you can very accurately depict any image, in any lighting scenario. All you need to do is do a bit of planning and/or get some references to keep you aligne...

Heloooo Everyone!
Today I have FINALLY completed my newest illustration: APE-XX PREDATOR. This will be one of the 2-4 illustrations featured in my course to explain different concepts and workflows! (more on the course details at a later date)
And, as an early notice, I am finally launching a soft-preorder for my Procreate course! I will be launching it tomorrow morning, at 9 AM PST, 12 PM EST. The preorder will be available on my Gumroad store! I'll post here again when it's live...

FINALLY DONE!
From now on, I will just upload the videos to Youtube and link them here. The Processing on Patreon simply takes too long. Hopefully the feature will improve over time but Youtube still has the speed change options along with some other things.
These are all sped up only 2x this time for clarity and ease of replication/following along. I feel like this isn't as necessary as I think, especially since 6 90 minute videos is pretty long...but we'll see. References and th...

Bear with me, I couldn't decide which to put first: Mirror or Marionette lol.
So the official name is MIRROR MARIONETTE.
But always, please enjoy part 1 to what will likely be a 4-5 part series on this illustration process! References will be coming soon to the Proton Drive Folder here:

I am using my flat detail / ergo draw brush.
The video is 4x sped up from realtime. You can slow it down .5x to watch it at 2x speed without losing quality / experiencing choppiness!
I hope you enjoy and have a great time drawing along!
Please feel free to ask any questions below.

I did this as the main headline sketch for my next YouTube video!
I’m super proud of it since I pretty much completed it all in one sitting - and I’ve recorded the entire process as well so look forward to that!
I took a break in between the first and second shaded images to make sure to focus on keeping my values grouped.
I have decided to stop worrying so much about color and do what I do best. Draw, shade, then add color if I want. I have the skills to get it how I...

This is one of my personal favorites. I have always been interested in depicting anguish/suffering since I was a high school student in 2012. I believe this was me first discovering how to express the pain I felt inside through my work. Every single time I attempt something like this, it seems to work out well! The biggest challenge was the lower body connecting to the ribcage, and the facial expression. The extended jaw, at a lower angle view, with the head tilted all the way up? Now that's ...

A separate series focusing on faces & Portraits!
You will get a close look at how I structure the head, and tweak some of the features to be more stylized and expressive.
As always, this is done in Procreate, with my ergoSKETCH brushback, namely the ergodraw/ergosketch/flat detail brushes.
Video is sped up 4x @ 60fps so feel free to speed up or slow down the video to your liking!
Let me know if you have any questions...

The first of what I hope becomes an extensive library of figure drawing videos! My goal is to share my process in such a way that is easy to follow along. You can find the reference in the attachments to this post.

Hello everyone!
After hearing some feedback from you and others, I have decided NOT to cancel my Patreon as per my post earlier this year.
Instead, I am simply going to provide my rewards in multiple locations! Patreon, Discord, and soon Youtube!
This will be via 2 tiers:
My standard, $5 ErgoFANS tier, and my new $90 Ergo ATELIER tier.
It became clear that its just easier for some peopl...

Hey Everyone!
As we are nearing the end of the month, I wanted to update you on whats going on with the Patreon!
I am gearing up to work on my Procreate Course fully and this means that I wont be able to draw as much, and spend extra time working on exclusive Patreon Content. Afterwards, I will then be switching gears to prepare for Light Box Expo in Pasedena California this October 14-16th. So it will be quite a busy time. I have decided its best to just pause my page so th...

Its finally done...well almost.
I am extremely proud of this piece! It's the culmination of so many years of effort but also TONS of personal growth. In case you are wondering, there's very little technical feats here that led me to this result. (other than what I have been recently learning with color) Its all really a few meta/macro topics put together that I'll try to list here:
