Another character design for the books! This is Rachel, an angel that wears the skins of demons she kills. Oddly enough, I like the rough drawing better than the final piece. Polished with the help of the illustrators from Visual Art Passageway. #visualartspassage #passagechallenge #characterdesign #characterart #angels #artistsoninstagram #art https://www.instagram.com/p/B-kh7GgjxEY/?igshid=1l30uv6mf4ma0

“You've a good heart. Sometimes that's enough to see you safe wherever you go. But mostly, it's not.” -Neverwhere, Neil Gaiman. Here’s my second piece from my portfolio class. Tomorrow is the last one. 😭 #visualartspassage #passagechallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/B-iv6WWj_TX/?igshid=11narr30euwn8

Here are a few daily watercolor paintings done for the #illustrationisolation model sessions going on during the quarantine. Holy toledo George Pratt is a pastel wizard. 😱 Two days left until the last Portfolio class. #visualartspassage #passagechallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/B-gB54aDD4e/?igshid=1epgrpsr9ob41

Another demon design for the books. This time it’s Rubella~! This design went through so many drafts. It’s really good to be able to get feedback from professors. #visualartspassage #passagechallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/B-cYRdYD-5B/?igshid=cag5ni1nh712

Another watercolor daily, creeping on my boyfriend. It’s hard to make big decisions and commit to them with watercolors, they aren’t especially forgiving. I am enjoying just doodling odds and ends around the bedroom tho. #visualartspassage #passagechallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/B-bDZKdDLGu/?igshid=gskpkrwrw5x

George Pratt said recently that we’re living in a historic time when we should be keeping quarantine journals. I’ve been trying to take photos and do little drawings of the things around me. This is a daily piece for my portfolio class, taught by Edward Kinsella. #visualartspassage #passagechallenge #watercolor #watercolorpainting #daily #dailyart #drawdaily #drawdaily2020 #portrait #portraitpainting #selfportrait #drawing #monochromatic https://www.instagram.com/p/B-YTGKYjIly/?igshid=6dfs4836onoa

Schizophrenia’s the main protagonist in a book I’m illustrating~! It’s a demon vs angel world where demons personify different diseases and mental disorders. I bet Covid would be a dick. My teachers at the Illustration Academy gave me feedback as well, fixing little anatomical problems. #visualartspassage #passagechallenge #demons #demon #drawing #commission #digitalart #digitalillustration #digitalillustration #clipstudiopaint #characterdesign #character #characterart #bookillustration #artistsoninstagram #illustratorsoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B9-2YpBDF0H/?igshid=6ikbbbhmmg9w

Another marker drawing that was drowned in alcohol. The fact that copic markers are unaffected by alcohol means that I can use different markers for different parts of the image. This was a daily experiment for my Portfolio class. #visualartspassage #passagechallenge #markers #markerdrawing #traditionalart #traditionalartwork #pandemic #illustration #illustrator #illustratorsoninstagram #artist #artistsoninstagram #art #artoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/B997GVwA3Kc/?igshid=1r5egsx7kf6i2

“I’d like to wish you the best in your future career, but I doubt you’ll live long enough to have one.” -Marquis de Carabas from Neverwhere. Here’s the first completed piece from my Visual Passage class this semester. I’m really stoked to finally be bulking up the portfolio.

Post-workout Procreate painting of Evan. He’s gotten used to suddenly having to pose for me for long periods. This was a daily drawn in Procreate. I love the heck out of the gouache brushes I recently bought for it. 🖌����💖 #visualartspassage #passagechallenge #procreate #procreateart #gouachepainting #gouache #dailies #dailystudy #studydaily #illustration #digitalart #art #artistsoninstagram #artists #portrait #portraitart #portraits #doodle #doodling #doodlingartwork #doodlingart #doodlingartist https://www.instagram.com/p/B9y_T7vA9ok/?igshid=151z45keppb7h

My teacher recommended I do a BUNCH of these messy, quick watercolor light studies. I wind up learning way more by doing a bunch of pieces for my dailies.

Made changes recommended by Teach to this robot boy. They thought it needed foreground interest.

This was a digital experiment trying out Rossdraws hair tutorial. I love how he messes around with curves to get trippy colors. This was a daily for my portfolio class for the Visuals Arts Passage w Edward Kinsella. #visualartspassage #passagechallenge #rossdraws #hairdrawing #drawing #drawingsketch #drawingoftheday #digitalart #digitalillustration #illustration #illustratorsoninstagram #illustrator #characterart #characterdesign # https://www.instagram.com/p/B9e0KWHgLoz/?igshid=121204h24byd7

Polar Bears!! I put this together with the help of Clip Studio pattern maker and with tons of feedback from my professor Edward Kinsella. The next pattern illustration will be turtles~ 🐢🐢🐢 #visualartspassage #passagechallenge #digitalillustration #polarbear #polarbears #polarbearsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #illustration #pattern #patterndesign #creaturedesign #cartoon #illustration #illustrator #illustratorsoninstagram #digitalart #digitalillustration https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ezT_zAG3f/?igshid=4lx6e4dpea1m

Suit!! This was a neat experiment to see how long it takes me to draw a flat color character. My teacher pointed out that the sketch is far more energetic and fun than the polished version. #visualartspassage #passagechallenge #commissionsopen #commission #drawing #characterart #art #artistsoninstagram #conceptart #sketch #sketchoftheday #illustrator #illustratorsoninstagram #illustration #digitalart #digitalillustration #digitaldrawing https://www.instagram.com/p/B9eyJYLA096/?igshid=nscxjatfp9p6
