The eighth day of sketching portraits. This was a short exercise for me, about 30 minutes. I used Sketchbook Pro again, as I want to get more comfortable with making traditional-looking art in digital form — it gives me so many more options for working while living on a boat — and the versatility of […]

I played with hatching today, and so some very generic lines. I spent about twenty minutes on her. I hope to develop her in the future. She is a digital drawing using Sketchbook Pro. The same drawing as above, but with some tiny amounts of color for fun. I hope tomorrow continues progressively […]

ABOUT THIS PICTURE A current work-in-progress based on a reference photo. A simple line drawing so far, with some promise of some playful colors and more advanced shapes.

I know of a lot of traditional artists who use paper and pen exclusively. I think that’s great. I really do. I find myself pulling out a notebook and a colorful pen or trusty graphite and getting down to business. There isn’t much that feels better, actually. The contact of utensil on paper, the movement, […]

Figures and lines. I missed looking at pictures of lovely naked people. Seeing the form, the contours, all that gorgeous stuff. After I spotted a great reference photo online, I thought why not try it out for fun? I found a picture of a woman in a bathtub. The intimacy of her, all alone, leaning […]

ABOUT THIS PICTURE Digital art. I made this using Sketchbook Pro on my smartphone! It’s a Galaxy Note 4, which has a lovely little stylus. I worked on this while I was doing my laundry at the laundromat, which goes to show you can fit creativity in at any time! This was a short […]

I’ve posted parts of this small work on my new WIP page. I’m working on keeping my hands and brain going. I’ve got lots of ideas for the upcoming year. How have things been going for you? Have you set some goals for the year ahead? Instead of setting goals this year, I’m sticking […]

This is my first real attempt at coloring digitally. I’m using Sketchbook Pro to draw and to color. Getting used to this program has been a real pleasure. I’m learning a lot about using layers to my advantage in order to build up colors, as I would be with painting using physical paints. Merging layers […]

Out on a walk, I found the cutest and most-nicely assembled bunch of mushrooms. I took a picture. Once I got home, I loaded this picture in Sketchbook Pro and started tracing and modifying the lines. It is a work-in-progress, so I don’t have the image finalized yet, but seeing the progress […]

ABOUT THIS PICTURE Digital artwork. I made it using Photoshop. It is based from an original drawing I did in pen and ink, posted here. I like how playing with the color saturation really made the contours of the cliffs pop out. Seeing the cliffs apart from their original panoramic format helps me to appreciate […]

I just bought myself a copy of Autodesk Sketchbook Pro. This program is intuitive, powerful, and downright amazing. I am exploring its vast features and getting accustomed to making digital drawings. This is a work-in-progress of Flowerina, originally an ink drawing I’ve shared here on the blog. My new project with this image is to turn […]
