Here you will find, you guessed it!, sketches that I have done over the years.

In the past few years I’ve transitioned to mostly digital starting out on iPad Pro with Procreate.app.  However, I’ve recently bought a used (new for me) Wacom Cintiq 22HD Touch and Corel Painter 2019 (macOS) to my toolset.

Given I find other people’s sharing of their process hugely educational, whenever I post I do my best to show my work in all its stages.  And there is often a time lapse of said progress added, too.  Again, I find all of this shared elsewhere hugely educational.

Hopefully you find this posts as informative as I find others who do the same.  And do not hesitate to reach out to me via comments or directly if you anything is unclear, or if you wish for me to fill something out with more details.

And remember to share the love by sharing links to my posts!
