Hello lovely people!
As promised, here is the time lapse process for this portrait! I had so much fun with this because I rarely draw males, so I viewed the process as a study. Also, I used a slightly different rendering technique than I normally do; lots of hatching, rough brush strokes, and quick line...

Hey everyone! 💖
Here’s a sneak peak at another patron portrait I finished that was so much fun! As I’m sure most of you are aware, I rarely draw males 😅 so this was excellent practice for me. The patron wanted pointy elf ears which I thought was so cool! I’ll be uploading the process video o...

Hey there Dragonflies! :)

First sketch piece of July! 💖 My old sketchbook is falling apart so I bought a new one yesterday, and it is soooo nice to sketch on some fresh paper! The paper is bristol which I highly recommend for smooth blending and clean erasing! It’s also very thick so when you press your pencil onto the paper for dark lines you do...
