#soloastarwarsstory comes out tomorrow. I thought I’d finish this piece up to commemorate the event. #harrisonford will always be #hansolo to me. But I am looking forward to the #solo film. Are you guys looking forward to it? . . . #yegart #yegartist #illustration #digitalpainting #art #portrait #starwars

I’m part of an #scbwi illustrators group in central Alberta. I received some feedback from member @thatmikeboldt on the piece I posted the other day. Here is a look at the changes. The important thing here are adjustments to the depth of the piece. The original has a very consistent value across the whole composition. This resulted in a lack of depth that made this complicated piece a bit harder to decipher. The changes push the background back a little and create a solid break between the foreground and midground. It also increases the contrast to the shrine bringing more focus to Possum Awesome. While doing my monthly livestream the other day I had a similar conversation about value with one of my patrons and made similar adjustments to the art for my April Patreon delivery. I’m so grateful for the illustrators in the #SCBWI group I’m part of. . . . #critique #edit #seeing #artist #illustration #illustrator #patreon #possumawesome #coreylansdell #watercolor #prismacolormarker

My work setup in my kitchen I use the computer for reference, music or listening to #criticalrole. The tripod is where I mount my phone to capture my progress. During a piece my #prismacolor markers get a little crazy. Happy with this piece. It’s going to be in my story update for #Possumawesome this month. Well, the start of May. 😊 If you’re interested in the story, go to my patreon page. Link in my bio. #art #artist #yegart #yegartist #writing #yegwriter #fantasynovel

I’ve revitalized my blog. I’m going to use it as a hub for all the stuff I’m doing. I just put up a written post about comparing our creative endeavours to others and how it hinders is.

Man! Loving pets is such a double edged sword. They really do become your friend. Tia is 17. Tonight she was very sick. I rushed her into the vet hospital in Edmonton. She perked up and I just got her home. She has a heart murmur which explains all her muscle loss. Probably heart disease. But her stomach issues are cancer, diabetes, thyroid or something else. Given her age we are unlikely to pay for treatments for her. She’s officially living on borrowed time. When the time comes it’s going to be hard to say goodbye to her. . . . #lovemycat #petsarefamily #myfriend
