Lady In Red WIP

Christophe Young post Lady In Red WIP from patreon

I've been working on this new painting and here are some progress shots. I understand they're taken quite far into the progress, but I still have a long way to go to complete this piece. I didn't do a fully shaded drawing before painting, but rather started with a very rough colour sketch and painted directly on top. There's ...

Illustration Progress

Christophe Young post Illustration Progress from patreon

Hey everyone! Here's a quick illustration I did to test out some workflows. It's not super polished but I think it gets the idea across. I know I have a lot of pieces in progress now that I need to finish, but sometimes my brain just wanders and I can't help but start something new.

Stylized Character WIPs

Christophe Young post Stylized Character WIPs from patreon

I've been honing in on a process and style that I'm starting to be happy with. The Challenger was the last character I did in this style but the process was messy. This time I had a better idea of what I was shooting for but the sketch ended up being a struggle anyways. All in all, there's something about the simplicity of th...

2025 Plans

Hey everyone! I wanted to type up a post outlining my plans for 2025. I'll try to keep this post short and to the point. I've learned so much over the last year regarding creating a class, launching my own course platform, and everything to do with becoming a self-sustainable artist/art business. All-in-all, my strategies wer...

Mushroom Harvester Process

Christophe Young post Mushroom Harvester Process from patreon

Hey everyone! I restarted this character this morning and this is where I am so far with the design. I figured I'd focus more on the design itself with Lineart rather than jumping into painting right away. I really like the direction in which it's going this time!

The Golden Archer

Christophe Young post The Golden Archer from patreon

Autumn is my favorite time of the year and while wrapping up this illustration I was really inspired to bring some of that cozy sensation and golden hour light to the mood of the painting. This is the main illustration I focussed on this month. The PSD for this illustration and the other studies I worked on this month can be ...

Rendering Studies

Christophe Young post Rendering Studies from patreon

I've been doing a lot of "RnD" to test different approaches to designing, painting, drawing etc. Some approaches were more focused on lines and design while others were more focused on painting, material representation, and color. I've always searched for a style that balances the high fidelity of realistic rendering with t...
