a drawing from my sketchbook

1st drawing for March 18 - part of the drawing a day challenge

To do list. I usually hate them but this one was kind of fun.

Quick illustration for the song of the White Buffalo. ”Come join the murder Come join the black” Familiar song from TV show Sons of Anarchy too

Doodles and notes I started at a regional NJ chapter of SCBWI conference this past weekend. Then just kept adding stuff to the page this week. I learned a lot and met some great people. Looking forward to June!

It's definitely been a bit since I've posted, sorry about that, things have gotten very chaotic very quickly.

Part of a larger project, hopefully to be completed soon.

Charcoal, charcoal powder and carbon pencil.

I found this guy the other day, just an older piece on scratchboard.

Watercolor whale whimsy

Pet portrait commission in charcoal and graphite.

I actually finally got round to framing this piece I did and hanging it up on my wall the other day, which made me really happy :). Tool used: acrylics, colouring pencils, posca markers on brown A4 card.
