WIP! My middle daughter's portrait. The hair is scary in thought but when I practice the correct techniques it all comes together. If you'd like your own graphite portrait you can DM me for commissions or click the link in my Bio and check out my Patreon! I've been so busy lately learning, getting ready to start my second childrens picture book as well as looking for the right editor for me and my projects. I've come to understand that I can't do everything myself nor do I want to. Its important to step back and ask for help instead of getting overwhelmed. That has probably been one of the more difficult things to learn an accept. If you've read this far and aren't following me, could you go ahead and hit that button on this post. It really helps me. Until the next post please stay tuned, keep safe and healty.

WIP! Portrait of my middle daughter. Being a stay-at-home dad is the best job in the world, it's also one of the most difficult things there is to do in life, besides being an artist. So I know what it's like to have share and compare anxiety. I see how fast and how amazing some art is produced, it's formidable. Being a dad leaves me very little time to create like that even though I have the drive, energy an ideas. I just keep my head up, find something to help me smile and work when my kids let me. I just have to remember that it's only temporary as my kids grow I'll have more and more time to work. So if you're ever struggling with the same share and compare anxiety just keep your head up, find something that helps you smile and remember that your not alone with artistic anxieties. If you'd like a portrait of your own or to support me as an artist check out my Patreon by clicking the link in my Bio! If you've read this far it'd be okay to like and follow me for comics, practice and update posts. Please be safe, keep healthy and stay tuned.
