The Wilder Side

Not sure if I’m jumping ship just yet. I think we’ll see how things play out, but I’ve been looking to cut one of my platforms for simplicity’s sake anyway and Tumblr might be making that choice obvious. Not sure how I feel about all this yet, so if anyone has anything to say, I’d be curious if people are planning to stick around or not?

Day 31: Trick ‘R Treat Yo Self. Which I interpreted as I could draw anything I wanted, so here’s a drawing from my sketchbook to end the month of Drawlloween!

We interrupt our regular Drawlloween posts to bring you this new video. Happy Halloween!

Day 25: Charlie and the Self-Aware Automaton Factory

Day 13. No prompt today, just a crow in a top hat.

Let’s go through my latest sketchbook in a video tour! This book is unusual in that it has a variety of papers and so I used a variety of media in this book.

Day 10: My Dentist is a Shape Shifter.

Day 3: The Whisper of Waterfront Wharf.

Are you ready to get ridiculous and maybe a little spoopy? I’m doing Drawlloween this year, and that means a new drawing every day in October. Stay tuned!

With Inktober around the corner, I thought I’d talk a bit about the pros and cons of doing an art challenge, while I give my monthly update on my sketchbook challenge. Watch me use ink washes to colour in some rabbits while I ramble!

I’ve been working on my gouache skills lately, and I was really happy with how this turned out! This is it, my last art post until October when the dreaded Inktober rolls around! I’ll be doing Drawlloween this year, so I’ll be posting new art every day in October. Stay tuned!

Keeping up with my theme of sketchbooks, the latest video is up! Please check it out. It’s a bit long, but I had so much to talk about. What do you do when you have so much to say?

While pretty much everyone around me is so excited for fall and Halloween they can barely contain themselves, I really felt the passing of summer this year. I’m not normally a summer person, and I love autumn as well, but despite the crazy heat, I actually had a great summer full of new experiences, like learning to windsurf and kayak. So I won’t miss the heat, but I will miss being on the lake and the long evenings that stretch on forever. Goodbye summer. :( Until next year.

Are you intimidated by blank sketchbooks? Do you want to do something special on the first page but you don't want to mess it up? I've got 5 ideas for foolproof first pages that will get you started in that new sketchbook.
