What I fantasize about whenever I fly over fluffy clouds in a plane.
Sketching is fun but adding color in photoshop is funner ✨
Practicing environments! Reference is a photo of Stone Town in Zanzibar.
Quick stylized sketch that I slapped some color onto in Photoshop ~
This sketchbook page was brought to you by that one warm sunny day last month when I abandoned all my plans so that I could sketch in the sun 🔆
A pinup inspired by the style of one of my favorite artists, JC Leyendecker! To me, he’s the master of semi-realistic stylized art, and was way ahead of his time. I wanted to capture his sculpted painting style and limited palette with this one.
Some sunny environments! Drew these in Procreate which was a bit out of my comfort zone for architecture type stuff, so let’s just say… it took some restraint to keep myself from throwing my iPad out of the window 😅
Shapes are an essential part of the drawing process, from the first sketch lines to the finishing details! Over time, I’ve found specific shapes that help me to create flowy and expressive art. My latest tutorial talks about which shapes I like to use, and how I apply them throughout my creative process.

My ode to really bright flash photography ~
Practicing hands in my sketchbook!
More architecture practice! This time using african buildings as my reference. The first one is in Burkina Faso and the second one in Mali. Gonna keep practicing 💪
Do you ever find yourself hating the final result of your painting because you smoothed things out too much? Sometimes I like the rough version of my painting more than the finished version because I got carried away with the detail while rendering. It’s a common struggle! My latest tutorial shows you how I render without over-blending, and breaks down the different ways in which I add detail to my digital paintings.
