It would be cool if Bluesky allowed for more than 4 pics per post…. jus sayin.

The January blues hit hard but that didn’t stop me from experimenting with a lot of hues. Happy with how most of these turned out.

The carousel ends with some motivational poster I saw one day when exploring.

Check it, absorb it, and choose to live it.

Take a hot step, then another… and another, and before you know it you’ve run a marathon.

What am I talking about? 🤭🤔

Sakura pigma micron pns and Sharpies all over this one.

Joyous Noël, or whatever you celebrate.

Remember, it’s simple… be kind, be loving, be tolerant and patient and seek to understand, the world will be a better place because of it, and you will have joy.

Anyone read anything by Carlos Castaneda? I’ve recently started re-exploring his work, and it’s for sure mind bending. 🫠🫠🫠

This is from a sketch that is years old at this point (i think about 5), but I’d never inked it… so here it is!!!

Used a Sakura Pigma pen and ye old faithful Zensation Brush

René Portelance @portelance.bsky.social · Jun 29

This is from a sketchbook I dug up from 2018. Hadn’t inked it and always wanted to. So here you go! Inked!!!!

It’s interesting to look back and revisit some old ass sketches. There’ll be more coming. I think I was little bit more unhinged back then. (hard to believe 😲)

Damn that’s one wrinkly ass dog. Does it look sad? 🤔

Zensation brush pen all over this. @zebrapen_usa

I’m seeing a lot of crosses in this dood (doodle). Is it giving off some papal religious vibes?🤔🤷‍♂️

Look who’s gone back to all black and white… comfort zone much? 😂

Zensation brush pen never failing me. @zebrapen_usa

This was a quickie.

One thing I’ve noticed about my process? I’ve gotten quicker and more efficient while not necessarily sacrificing quality.

So practice does make better? 🤔

Which way do you prefer looking at this thing? Lips up top? Or on the bottom?

René Portelance @portelance.bsky.social · Jun 19

Not what I meant when I asked to have my socks rocked off. 🤓

A new artist friend complimented me greatly today… it honestly felt so awesome. They did also mention that they wished I would use colour. Well…. here’s some colour!!!!!!!!!!! 😂

Dope. Got home late, so produced this relatively quickly. I’m still haooy with the end result.
Know what’s a good feeling? Not feeling like doing something, pushing yourself to do it, and then feeling incredibly grateful and thankful for having done so.

Lit.

Sketch from the metro ride yesterday. Completed it at home afterwards with my almighty Zensation Brush Pen from @zebrapen

Two questions:

Do you puff-puff-pass? 🤔

And do you pass it to the left? 🤷‍♂️

René Portelance @portelance.bsky.social · May 30

Sometimes you just got to commit to the line. 😅

This tune is so fitting for the drawing. Anyway, here’s a scary ass demon dog? i guess?

You get a bouquet of these. #wyd ?

What I can’t get enough of? The Zebra Zensation brush pen…it’s so so sooooo smooth and gives you a megaton of control of the thickness of your lines. Just, love it! #art #inking #creepyart

It was going so well…. until it wasn’t. Still, it was great to get familiar with the Zebra Zensation brush pen again. Forgot how much i love those.

I’ll be using it for my future inking seshs.

I guess this will forever be a #wip
