Just a quick sketchbook doodle of Beyoncé from a pic on google. I'm trying to practice likeness as well as understanding Caricature more for my cartooning. I want to learn how to push features more while making the drawings still appealing. 🐝🐝 . . . . #cartooning#illustration #ballpointpen #artanddesign #sketchbook #beyoncé #doodling#animation #drawing

Finally finished this beach themed piece. I hope everyone is having a great summer. I super want to go on vacation!

Im making progress on rendering this beach piece. I haven't worked on it since I actually got the chance to go to the beach for once. I highly recommend anyone whose stressing to just chill at the beach, with a good group of friends, or a nice book and music. I'm currently reading Norwegian wood by Haruki Murakami . . . . . . . . #illustration #wip #digitalart #storyillustration #digitalillustration #photoshop #artanddesign #creative #creativedesign #childrensillustration #illustrator #progresspic #art #painting #digitalpainting #storyart #books

A little rough shark dude doodle I did before bed. I want to try animating him in Flash today. I'm starting to get the hang of the program, so I thought I'd try animating with this cool dude lol . . . . . . . #animation #animator #illustration #characterdesign #shark #dude #cartoon #artanddesign #comics#illustrator

Wonder Woman was amazing! I loved it soooo much I want to watch it again. I had to paint her. I have been listening to Wonder Woman’s theme song non stop while I was painting this. I have my hopes up for Justice League if its anything like Wonder Woman was. 

Painting Faye Valentine because my obsession continues with cowboy Bebop. I can't get enough of it. . . . . . . . #cowboybebop #artistoninstagram #illustration #animation #comics #digitalart #digitalillustration #photoshop #instaart #anime

I'm ashamed that I didn't watch Cowboy Bebop until now in my life lol I am in love with this show. It's so good. So much swag. I'm just drawing spike while I have some free time. . . . . . #cowboybebop #illustration #digitalillustration #digitalart #animation #spikecowboybebop #artanddesign #fanart #anime#instaart#comics

I can definitely say I'm getting addicted to lino cut block printing lol It's so relaxing to me. This time I'm doing an alpaca who I imagine is in Miami right now. The weather has been all over the place, so I'd love to be in Miami right now drinking a margarita. . . . . . . #printmaking #blockrinting#illustration ##artanddesign #characterdesign #characterillustration #linoleumprint #linocut #linocutprint #creativedesign #creative #art #instaart #picoftheday #artprocess

I bought myself a block printing kit for fun. I've always been interested in Japanese wood block printing so eventually I want to try my hand at carving wood but for now I'm just using the rubber blocks as practice. Decided to draw a falcon wearing a striped shirt and tie. We'll see how it goes once I'm finished, and try to print. Hopefully I don't demolish it !lol . . . . #blockprinting #printmaking #linocut #artanddesign #creativedesign #creative #illustration #falcons #speedycarve #inkdrawing #practicemakesperfect #instaart #art

Ever want to embarrass yourself ? Well here is a tip ...record yourself dancing and then teach yourself how to rotoscope over it lol  =‘D   

I finally took time to use my Reckless Deck for character design prompts I got for Christmas. My prompt was extreme facial hair, double edged sword but i made it double ended and excessive jewelry. Reckless deck is pretty fun to use when you don't know what to draw.
