Studies in graphite of a variety of one-handed blades from 1400s to modern day. The stiletto is definitely my favorite, but they were all fun to draw. #drawing #swordarts #weapondesign #sketchbook #blackwing602 #pencilstudy #artfundamentals
More object studies in graphite, ft some Arts and Crafts style decor and interior design by Josef Hoffmann (Wiener Werkstaette). Building up a mental library of forms for crafting interiors and props for character illustrations. #sketchbook #pencildrawing #illustration #blackwing
object studies in graphite from a design history reference book, just sketching stuff that caught my eye while flipping through it for some inspiration #sketchbook #blackwing #prop #arthistory
Redrawing an old sketchbook sketch on 18x24" drawing pad. Been a while since I worked in this scale, but it's great for loosening up linework. Gotta keep those fundamentals sharp ✏
Been on a red-purple frequency this week. Not a color palette I reach for often but I've really enjoyed it. Naples Yellow Reddish, Perylene Red, Diox Purple, Chromatic Black, Unbleached Titanium. Both on gessoed watercolor paper.

Preview of this month's patreon exclusive, first time doing a self-portrait in oil and I loved it, although it was much more time consuming than digital (obv). Still, there is a subtlety with oil paints that is much harder to achieve digitally, for me at least. Every medium has a tradeoff.
Tease of my upcoming patreon painting and my first self-portrait in oil 🥰. I've avoidred oils for years because of the cost and time required but no other medium comes close to the satisfaction and flexibility I get with oils. I'm ready to commit 😁 (Gamblin paints, Trekell brushes, gessoed 640gsm)
Been going hard on oils the past ~week so I decided to paint my next self portrait in oils... I've only ever done my portraits digitally. Excited to see how this piece develops comparatively 😊 (done on heavyweight watercolor paper covered in gesso) #oilpainting #femalefigure #panties
Guess it's time for a new palette knife
repurposed some watercolor swatch pages by painting over with these acrylic gouache animal studies 😊
Love the way these hands turned out (full drawings will be on patreon)

I'm not usually one to get horny for a brush (skill is far, far more important) but ghat daym do I love the texture this one lends to my stroke. #selfportrait #figurestudy #illustration #lineart #drawing #curves #curvy #eroticart #miniskirt
