Been messing round with gouache again lately to try something new. Still getting the hang of it but I enjoyed painted this one of who I imagine is a sister training other sisters on self defense because we need to be able to defend ourselves.

Hey fam, its been a year since I posted one of these. I wish I could post them more often but sketchbooks take time. At least they do for me and even when I share them, I’m not showing you every single page. You gotta pull up to see that. Anyways, check it out. I’m just coming out of an uninspired period. I make art of course, but was I feeling it like I used to? Naw. So, I’m starting to feel it again and just enjoying myself.

Been awhile since I uploaded a drawing from my sketchbook. I have been overdrive mode for the Social Justice Children’s Book Fair over the last few months so its nice to get back in there and draw. No specific outcome, just drawing. Most of these including photo reference Ive collected. RIP to my aunt Anita.

My sketchbook tour at the beginning of 2024. I will def upload a new one for 2025.
What’s this? This is a chance for me to share some sketches from my process. I share process art a lot with different projects but sometimes I just love looking back at the sketches I made before painting some of my personal or client work. Sometimes the sketches are better than the final! Something about the energy in them. Anyone, check them out and let me know which you like.

Here’s a page from my 2021 sketchbook. I draw a lot of people and often times the ones I draw from imagination can get boring or repetitive. So, I try to break out of that by drawing different poses and to warm up. These for example are of various dancers moving. If you can catch them while folks are dancing, great. I usually just watch videos of folks and pause it.

Ok, its been a minute since I uploaded a collage of characters! Two years I think, but honestly some years are rough and last year and a half was that. Regardless, I still made some art and want to show some of the ones I actually liked. There was probably double or triple that either sucked or I just didn’t finish them. I started doing these collages in 2012 as a way to practice, smile at my accomplishments, and to see improvemeent. Still have so much longer to go! But, keeep swinging.

Sup with it fam, its been awhile since I shared some sketches from my process. I share process art a lot with different projects but sometimes I just love looking back at the sketches I made before painting some of my personal or client work. Sometimes the sketches are better than the final. Something about the energy in them.
