Here's a portrait of Yuko Shimizu that I'm working on for an IlloStories project (check the group out on Facebook). I took her pose from one of her photographs, then used colours, patterns and textures that were inspired by her artworks. This could be a front page for a book about her, or maybe a page for when her story reaches this point!

smell of the nature / nature lover

Figured I upload my most recent drawing as my first image!

Worked from photograph taken at the vineyard. Clio is a highly sought after moderately expensive Spanish red. 8.5x11 card stock, technical pen

Final drawing 6 of 6. Here I fine tuned the piece. Spent some time on the shirt and wrinkles. Added little details like moles and neck creases. Finished up areas of shading. I had a heck of a time on his right eye. It’s the one area I couldn’t get quite to my liking but it is what it is. Overall, I like how this came out.

WIP of the latest Pokémon trainer girl & Scorbunny. I liked how it looks at this stage so I decided to post it before I finish coloring/shading.

SMELL OF THE NATURE, NATURE LOVER

Progression 5 of 6. At this point his face is nearly done and I’ve begun to fill in the shirt. There is still more shading and fine tuning and details needed on to finish off his face, but at this point in a drawing I like to begin filling in the other details to keep some cohesion to the overall piece.

Progression 4 of 6. Here the drawing starts to come together. I built on the layers I put down in the earlier portions of the drawing. Spent some time on the beard and mouth.

Progression 3 of 6. In this one, I focused on the hair some more, his ear, fine tuned the eye and add shading to his face.

Quick freelance commission for Captain Marvel Posters. I don't usually draw superheroes, but this was a SUPER fun assignment!

Done on gray toned paper with grayscale pastels

Progression 2 of 6. Spent some time here in the hair, beard, and eye. The transition in the hair from light to dark was done mainly by not adding in graphite in heavy amounts and using the pencil eraser to define the hair.

Progression 1 of 6. This first pic is of the line work and the background shading.
