I’ve had requests on Facebook for more time lapse videos of my illustrating – and I was happy to oblige!

More Mirroring
My illustration “Black to Gold” seems designed to be mirrored! Check out some of the results I got using a mirroring app:
Doot doot!
That’s the sound I think of when taking a pointillist approach to shading. Here’s a time-lapse video of the dooting in action:
Seeing Double
Playing around with reflecting my illustrations in a mirroring app – it is giving me a lot of ideas for future projects!
Devil’s in the details?
Whenever I want to practice my lettering, I start a new ouija board. This was the first I ever made!
Practice, Practice…
A cursory glance at my art reveals I LOVE fussing over details – the more little lines and dots I can squeeze in, the happier I am. It’s meditative, losing myself in repetitive linework.
So, I just started a new illustration a bit larger than my standard work (11″ x 15″ instead of 10″ x 12″), filled with detail for me to faun over. I want to practice adding depth to my illustrations, and varieties of texture. The sketch I made is based on my study abroad experience in Ecuador, hiking through the rainforest to a circle of lemon ant trees. These tree groves have an interesting name in Quichua, the native language – Supay Chacra, which translates to “The Devil’s Orchard.”
Trying to push through my urge to make every line perfect and just MAKE. THINGS.
