For day 12 of @sktchyapp ‘s July #30faces30days challenge, we had a fun lesson from @slaybaughstudios on how to “carve” our portrait from a stone-like background using just black and white brushes and a lot of the smudge tool and layer masks. Very fun and challenging. This took me just over 3 hours. Done in @procreate for day 97 of my #100daysofdigitalart project. #portraitsinprocreate #procreate #sketcheveryday #sketchjournal #sktchyapp #sktchyinspired #jenniekessinger (at Walnut Creek, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCkLn_Ln9_p/?igshid=1qjnd1n42wusy

Another sketch from my virtual trip driving along the Dalmatian Coast. This is the ruins of the Diocletian Palace in Split, Croatia that is a UNESCO World Heritage site that was built between the late 3rd and early 4th centuries A.D. for the seaside retirement of the Roman Emperor Diocletian.

This graphic style was a real challenge for me! But, I was finally able to achieve it using @pixelprincess.art ‘s Marker set - specifically, the Rad & Happy Monoweight brush. Thanks, Lisa! It took me two days to finish this sketch of Napa’s Boon Fly Cafe using a photo I took during a recent lunch there, eating outdoors. Done in Procreate for day 74 of my #100daysofdigitalart project. #procreatesketch #jenniekessinger (at The Boon Fly Cafe) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBmw0UOHjg7/?igshid=ergpyi8l5ej5

This is Tamir Rice, a 12 year old boy, who was shot and killed by a 26 year old white Cleveland police officer after playing with a toy gun at a park. The police officer was never criminally prosecuted and although he was fired, he was ultimately later hired by another Ohio police department. #blacklivesmatter #blm #justicefortamirrice #tamirrice This was done in Procreate with @georgvw ‘s Elder Sketcherman brush for day 65 of my #100daysofdigitalart project. #portraitsinprocreate #procreate #sketcheveryday #sketchjournal #jenniekessinger https://www.instagram.com/p/CBM3nq3HEso/?igshid=12fckl8nvrloz

This is Stephon Clark. He was killed by police in his grandmother’s backyard by police who fired 20 rounds at this unarmed grandson carrying a cell phone while they were searching for a black suspect wearing a dark hoodie. The NY Times analysis showed that 6 of the 7 shots that hit Stephon hit him as he was falling or was already on the ground. The Sacramento District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert decided that the police officers would face no criminal prosecution for killing Stephon Clark on March 18, 2018. #blacklivesmatter #stephonclark #stephonclarkwasmurdered Done in Procreate with @georgvw ‘s Elder Sketcherman brush for day 60 of my #100daysofdigitalart project. #portraitsinprocreate #procreate #sketcheveryday #sketchjournal #sktchyapp #sktchyinspired #jenniekessinger (at Walnut Creek, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBCTS-WHw6T/?igshid=1g0euhnqwkjt5
