Hello, my name is John Rusanchin,
and I'm a doodle addict. west branch, mi

I like to create and I like to try new things. I like to draw/paint the human form. There is so much variation to be found. Every curve and angle, every wrinkle and fold, every perfect imperfection... all beautiful!

I specialize in adobe illustrator, colored pencil, digital art, drawing, graphic design, illustration, krita, pencil drawing, rebelle.

Digital watercolor portrait of my sweet cat, Gemma. She's a small ragdoll with crumpled ears as a result of a severe ear mite infestation. (She's a rescue from a hoarding situation.) She's the sweetest and drooliest girl.

Back to traditional tools for this one. Colored pencil on chip board. I've been artistically "away" for a while looking for my lost spark. I felt the slight tingle again, so I grabbed my stylus & tablet to finish a digital painting I started far too long ago, but technology decided to block my re-entry into creativity! The battery in the stylus was dead. I refused to be thwarted! I remembered a promise to draw/paint this good girl

Bringing light to the darkness wherever she goes! Thanks to the lovely IG model: @annabeefigure
