This was from the Planet of the Apes film.

abstract pen drawing on paper

i drew this with a certain theme in mind, dystopia or apocalypse. and when I asked some of my friends for a word to base it off of, they said android. so I drew a one point perspective of a plague ridden city with androids as morticians. it's not my best however I thought it would be good to start putting some of my artwork online

lovebirds made in colorpencil in progress i am working on these lovebirds its still in progress but will upload the full drawing result soon

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!

But first coffee

Done on gray toned paper with grayscale pastels

One of twelve illustrations for a children's book.

This comic art is related to my previous work 'diving in'. The protogonist has been swallowed by the creature in the diary.

So much gold paint on this one, it's difficult to capture in a photo !

A light sketchy portrait of this funny man.

Dark

Brush markers, pastel, and watercolor on Bristol board. My entry for a regional art contest featuring endangered species. If you have any suggestions, please comment them, because I want this piece to be the best it can be.

I actually really like how this turned out! :D Check it: https://www.deviantart.com/dallyvanters/art/Commission-21-787574460

I have been lucky enough to have the opportunity to paint a design on a rather large gorilla! I am so excited to do this. It's taking an age but getting there slowly. When he's all done he will be going on show at Paignton Zoo.

Ex libris I designed for my wife and me. Made by retronadruk.pl

I believe there may be a better way to get children excited about animals

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.

I am working on old house depictions and how it all goes together.

'You ride?!!' they asked, 'Bikes with gear? For real?!' This Artwork is a response to this very common reaction I get as a female rider. Yes, women ride bikes. In fact, ALL types of women can ride bikes. I saw this lady in a Burkha riding an Avenger bike recently, on the highway with her husband riding pillion. So inspiring!

Pastel and graphite. Reference—a photo of my face

This is the story of a Hitchhiker who found himself lost in the jungle, alone and afraid. To cope with his aloneness, his mind started to hallucinate that he had a companion by his side. He said, 'Do you think people travel by this route?'. His friend answered 'Absolutely, let us sit on this rock and hitch a ride with the next person that comes by...'

This Illustration is a revisited self portrait. The breast on my back feed four pencils/tentacles and the color spread from the female body to the page and "travel" all around the surface. The meaning is to show the reciprocity between the artist and the manufact.

I don't know why these all upload sideways, but here's my latest work for the sketchbook. I created the electric field pattern and printed it on photo paper then doodled these rainbow trout (at the suggestion of my friend Andrew) and glued them on.

This artwork is about an alien who is most comfortable in the clarity of thought that hands are his greatest friends. Magical energy surrounds them as they rejoice in the company of their hands.
