I haven't done traditional art in such a long time that this has been an absolute joy to do. Pencils, pens, markers, white pencil, and white gel on tan toned paper.

Another one of @re--ignite, this time with real paints (I usually do digital portraits of her).

Aretha, oil on canvas, 20×30 cm

Long time no see. 5min and a 20min pose from today’s practice. Not life drawing, just from photoref. Done with Procreate so they even have timelapses (on Insta).

I made a small fan page for Weilard’s book covers that have versions for all 4 seasons. Check it out here.

I also share my advice for game designers and my top 10 life wisdom … as much as you can be wise at 33, lol.

I've just ordered my test proof (of the art print, not the canvas lol) and when it arrives later this week, I'll let you guys know how it looks.

And a surf movie.

I made a new slo-mo travel video.

Machu Picchu, pencil sketch drawn from life at location (Linea), watercolors done afterwards on the train ride/flight home (ArtRage by @ambient-design).

One more from iPad Pro, this time Linea app.

How to paint a portrait in 12 easy steps.

Now I'm returning to pixel art which is what you know me for, so you don't have to worry about being spammed with my traditional works for a while.

This one is trying to be more impressionistic and uses cold wax as the medium (liquin for dryer). It's definitely the painting I enjoyed most making although it's far from being something very interesting. I'm inspired by Jeremy Mann, but, well, that's for 10 years in the future.
