kabuto tree reference

Colored pencils spread, a tree study and a mika piece. The latter is my adventuring into more interesting illustrative pieces!

Village Boys, 2023

In this painting I used extra heavy gel medium on the foreground to build up that rich, tactile texture you can almost feel.

In the background — real 23–24k gold leaf, catching the light differently throughout the day.

I wanted to capture that feeling of childhood curiosity…

when the world feels огромный, бесконечный и полный открытий.

These boys don’t follow the path — they ride straight through the grass.

Because at that age, the most interesting way is always the one no one told you about.

What sorts of things, you ask?

A printable 11x17 poster of all possible formal divisions of a nine panel grid. That's 322 layouts!

A digital sizing reference guide to make sure your pages are being drawn at the right resolution before you find out they're too small the week of the deadline!

Loads of great brushes for Photoshop, ClipStudio, and Procreate, including these Micron pens!
