WIP - Tiger

Happy new year! Kinda wanted to make up something after seeing the 28372837 tiger drawings on twitter. I was thinking of going for a little bit different way of coloring by masking a color gamut but i think i didn't know what I was doing haha. I feel I would need to keep doing that but I feel it's something I should try incorporating into my color selection process instead of going for what I think looked nice.

December 2021 Update

Last one out of the year fellas! Another month whizzing by BUT I wanna outright say thank you to everyone who passed by this patreon page even though it's been a bit dry for almost a year now. It really means a lot!

I feel it's been a crazy and strange year?? While I feel I may not have drawn much personal stuff, I feel that has been done so in the form of animating or trying out new stuff. Being caught up with work and side freelance really ate up a lot of my energy for personal stuff ...

WIP - Apocalypse

Did this art for an album about last year and now that the art for it has been released (sick beats btw), I can finally share this!

This was requested by a Patron and I was happy to find out I made this over at procreate which meant it recorded the whole thing.

I'm a huge fan of Jean Giraud's (Moebius) work and I wanted to pay tribute to his very influential style of vast l...

November 2021 Update

I blink?? And this month evaporated?? Last month was spent adjusting to being back home and this one was spent getting back to the speed of my work on The Owl House. It's gonna be a few rough coming weeks but hopefully that eases up! I'm still glad to have found some personal time doing some drawings (even thumbing a small animation). Perhaps it can be something I can stream as I go pencil it? Who knows!! It's the end of the year!! Have a tiny preview of it:

SKETCH THOUGHTS - 80

I noticed my last sketch thoughts post was *squints* last july?? Never really sat down and chipped away at a sketchbook page in a while so it was nice to stream some of these (my twitch stream archive you can find over at my pinned post).

Looking forward to put a lid on this 2 year sketchbook thing haha.

October 2021 Update

Spent a good chunk of this month adjusting to being back home! It's nice to be back and hoping to get back to my usual routine before I left.

I think I'll work towards continue filling up my quarantine sketchbook which I hope to release in the near future as a compilation.  I feel it's gonna be a quite a month ahead after a few weeks!

I've also been thinking about how I've been dragging out this Patreon semi-hiatus for quite some time now and I feel I may need to put some tho...

WIP - Druddigon

I've been itching to draw this pokemon because it has such a goofy design and I wondered what visual take I can do for it. I wanted to do a lot of pinching forms for this but I think I had some difficulty getting the head shapes looking right. I also had troubles posing the body that I spent a little bit too long working on the torso so I ended up for a more grounded pose.

I finished up after my usual inking with the free 2021-10-27 06:00:43 +0000 UTC View Post

September 2021 Update

Can’t believe I am doing one of these again (man, what is time??). This seemed to have been a rather quick month but I am doing slightly more personal art these days on top of some irl stuff and just taking days a step at a time.

That said, I am super thankful for those who are still sticking around on this patreon and for the new ones as well! I am also very grateful for the constant art and wips over at the Patreon Discord and it makes me miss doing personal art. I have a feeling th...

WIP - King of Dinosaurs

I've been in a slight drawing rut so I tried making something in one sitting! I did 3 sketch passes this time but I'm happy that I didn't do...like...4 anymore haha. It's nice to get something out at least! For sketching I wanted to set the position of the feet and hands from the get go. I wanted to give him a big-ish head but I also wanted to show some of the anatomy so the end result was the head not being quite as big haha. I really wanted to really push some shapes (small things smaller, ...

March-September Requests

Some requests to those who subbed for annual classmate and grabbed the seatmate tier! I recall sending some DM's through patreon but I think I'll bump those again for a next round of these. Please check your messages to those who made an annual subscription! And if I missed anyone, please let me know!!!

August 2021 Update!

A crazy month this has been as I haven't been posting online much due to traveling. This is probably my first time juggling a lot of work on top of going around (especially in a pandemic!!!) so it's been a rather hectic to find time to make personal stuff. 

With that said though, I just want to say thanks to those who have pledged and are still sticking around but I'm really hoping stuff can settle down for a bit over at my end!

Anyway, that's just a quick update of what's ha...

July 2021 Update

Okay well this month was pretty prolific for this patreon if I say so myself. I’ve managed to put in some time on a tutorial on top of some WIP videos and sketches. Ironically, I’ve actually taken in like extra work lately and while manageable, I’m lowkey dying inside haha. I’ve definitely learned my lesson because I’ve spent this past half month nursing this weird eye problem which flared up and was not fun at all. Maybe next time I wouldn’t put myself in this kind of situation a...

WIP - Odd Taxi

EDIT: APPARENTLY I didnt save my visibility settings WHOOPS video should be up! Thanks to Cherrydad and Chromaclaws for the heads up


GOT MY FULL PROCESS THIS TIME. Had some trouble posing Yano's hands but as usual, I wanted to focus on the shape of stuff. Times like this I wish I had liquify tool to push my proportions more. 

(also relating to the art, watch odd taxi :P)

WIP - Bakunawa

Timelapsed my rendering process for an illustration I made for a dragon zine of a dragon-serpent creature from Filipino mythology who is keen on devouring the moon. 

Since I (once again) did not capture my sketch process, I'm including my composition/value thumbnail along with the base colors I wanted to go with.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR ART EASIER - Speeding Workflow

Had the opportunity to work on this brief tutorial with TourBox NEO as I did ruminate on of the concept of being able to make art an easier task. As someone who has done work in publication, animation and comics, I picked up on a few things that I felt made my process much easier! Perhaps I am still missing out on tools/tricks that could make me a faster artist but I think I've been way more efficient compared to before (especially after picking up CSP haha) Hoping these 5 tips can help!

JUNE 2021 Update (Coming Pinned Post!)

New month! I've been having some PC problems these past few weeks where it would just shut off at random intervals so any streaming/gaming had to be postponed until then but I think I've managed to fix it! So far it hasn't conked out so crossing my fingers it's fine now.

In other news, I also thought of archiving my streams for patrons since I noticed my Twitch VODs get deleted after a few days. I figured it'd be a waste if they were lost to the void and perhaps some people would f...

QUICK NOTES - Solidifying forms

I’ve been thinking about the concept of solidity in drawing. These are three small tricks one can do to make a drawing look more solid! Nailing your contours is the easiest and surefire way to solidify your forms. The opposite is true if you want to achieve more flat forms by omitting these three.

WIP - Trese

Again forgetting to record my sketch process but here's how I went on inking/coloring this sketch. I kinda like the effect of the fire spirits of using blacks to show contrast to how bright they are. Not much to talk about as this was pretty straight forward!

Gonna try to remember to record my sketch process where a lot of the thinking goes do'h

SKETCH THOUGHTS 78

A bit of a long ramble ahead for a random sketch thoughts post but going forward:

Some odds and ends from the past few weeks (cough maybe months???) that I haven't posted on here yet! A good number of these are just throwaway stuff that past me would delete but I've learned to save as many scribbles as I can. The only time I'd delete sketches it they were like, an unreadable hot mess of lines.

Thinking about it, it seems that I have tiers of how I go about sketch...

May 2021 Update!

Phew half a year over already. I've been slowly trying to do more personal work and I'm very happy to have finished an animation! Not too much happening on my end other than trying something new in the Patreon Discord.

I made a channel for possible draw sessions but that never happened so instead I made it into a personal draw stream in the case I'm lazy to do a public stream or when I don't really plan on drawing for too long (usually 30 mins to an hour). I do plan on just casually doi...

WIP - Fall Animation

Figured I'd do another full cleaned, colored, and composited animation. Didn't work with a rough from scratch this time around so I used something I made last year. This was much more complicated/longer from the one I did last year. Just like the last one, I'm gonna go break it down about how each stage went!

QUICK NOTES - Line Confidence

I've been working with same-thickness/monoline brushes for quite sometime and I just wanted to make some notes. It becomes more effective the more controlled the strokes are! I've been thinking of adding a second part to this with how having thin lines help in achieving shapes.

I think the main benefit of using monolines is how you don't need to consider line weight when doing line art!
