It's funny: I'm doing a *lot* of black & white work lately, but I go about rendering my client work so differently than my comics. I end up doing very little to no base linework here, and mostly render as I go. #drawtober #spookyshit #digitalart

An iPad with procreate open. A black and white illustration of demon-like creatures haunting a writhing man in a hospital bed. It is rendered in an etching like look.

Today's #drawtober features a very frustrating WOLF. #comics #theWolfWithNoTail

A photo of an iPad screen with ProCreate open. On it, a very sketchy comic panel is coming to life. It is drawn in a ballpoint pen brush. It features a rustic medieval looking hall, with two characters sharpening their swords before a fireplace. One character is a large white wolf with a moon-themed executioners sword, and the other is a frustrated white rabbit with a sword sword.

For #drawtober today: just letting my mind run. #sketchbook #sketch #ballpointpen

A double page spread in a sketchbook. The drawings are done in ballpoint pen on white paper. On the left, a nude female figure sitting relaxed. She seems to be uncaring of who looks upon her, and tired. On the right, a heron vomits out a shooting star that goes over her head. He looks at the figure, his wing covering the area below her.
