Early days on a new mandala-like shape drawing on 14"x17" paper. A technique I sometimes use for drawings like this is to use pencil, compass, and ruler to get some lines down. Then I freehand over the pencil lines with pen, which gives it more of an organic look. Once I have the empty shapes down, it'll be time to fill *inside* the shapes, connecting the interior parts at the edges for neighboring shapes, which gives the illusion of continuity (and depth) behind the dividing lines. (There's also the option to do the reverse at this point, in which the shapes are left empty inside and the opposite space is filled in; if you search through my drawings you'll see some like this. But more often than not, I prefer the former method.)
The front cover of my first published novel titled "The Gissionary", which was originally published on 1/4/2025 on ComicFury.Com. It is a nonfictional novel that serves as a quick dictionary of my own original words, terms, and phrases that I either coined myself or helped popularize, the former especially with my own original word coining method called "Grammatical Idea Simplicity (GIS)".

I keep this little notepad and a pen or two by my keyboard while I work. Short breaks to let the mind wander are good. By the end of the workday, it also means I have another new drawing to share. Like this one.
Sketching out some hybrid pumpkin spiders for spooky season! Focused on building up texture and density in the web pattern using single-color linework.
“Past a certain point, the music is no longer mine. It's yours.” - Phil Collins.
Can’t be the end of another sketchbook? Apparently so! Glad I stocked up in new ones…
King Eric's privy council had convinced him the Royal Lyre and the Divination Bones would allow him to bend the Thorn Blade to his will. King Eric hadn't known his privy council hated him.
Created for the Cursed relics drawing challenge.
Filled in the shapes from the last face-practice drawing. Needs more practice before upgrading to larger paper. Small notepad w/ 0.1 and 0.8 copic multiliners
Was listening to an old favourite of mine’s earlier, namely Duke by Genesis! And so I opted to recreate the album cover (one of their best in my opinion)
My role was to serve my people as a tactician.
My name was my rank. I had a soul.
But magic awakened within me, and my role changed.
My mind — trained and carved for purpouse — ceased to matter.
Reduced to a beast, they stripped away my soul and bound me in chains.
Is this the wisdom of the Qun?..
Filled a page with carved faces using technical pen and a mix of orange and red alcohol markers. Pushing line weight and dark backgrounds to make the carved cutouts pop.
Some shapes scattered around other shapes inside shapes while letting my mind wander on the most nothing I can think of. Same small notepad I've been drawing in the past week or so
Filled in this sketchbook page with heavy black ink and dark blue marker strokes to make the orange and yellow glow pop. Drawn with technical pen and alcohol markers.
