I'm working on a couple of things these days, but warming up in my sketchbook has become a good habit. I have a 30 min painting a day booklet, and a different one where I've been experimenting with wash and line for "Inktober".

Here are a couple of my favorites. If you want to see more daily sketches, you can follow me on Instagram

Have a nice weekend friends, I'm off to clean up my studio and frost a cake, my parents are coming to town!

I’ve been super excited about trying out inking since I went to Icon a week or so ago, and when I saw that Yuko Shimizu had some videos on skillshare that just came out, I had to watch them. This was the result; it was super fun to work with ink, quick but… MESSY. My hands are covered, hah!

illustrator living far from big city :)

It's almost a necessity for me to listen to music, podcasts or audio books while I'm working. It helps tie me to my desk and keep me focused. I'm excited about this series of podcasts I've discovered, I can't even remember where. It's called "Your Dreams my Nightmares" , and it's an audio side project by illustrator Sam Weber. A series of informal interviews with other illustrators - Awesome.

My nickname for this model is Gaitskell although he doesn't really look like Hugh Gaitskell. But when politicians are pontificating I find it helpful to visualise them with no clothes on. I drew this in Zen Brush which is fun to use for lifedrawing.
