Pencils: Final:
Went a bit more experimental this time around. Sometimes coloring outside of the lines is just as fun.

Evening painting madness. Currently watching Season 5 of “Shameless” on Netflix and I dig it.
Hendrix is one of my favorite portrait subjects. Here’s another take on the man with the guitar.
This was one of three pieces I worked on this afternoon.
Created during a class work day.
Process work for a project I assigned for my Concept Design / Advanced Illustration class. I had to go through several unsuccessful drafts during the sketch / planning phase before moving forward with an illustration I felt happy with.
A little something I threw together this evening to show my concept design / advanced illustration students. The only brushes I ever use for my painting are the free set from Chris Wahl.
I’m teaching a course on exploring concept design. This is an example of the first project I am assigning for my students. The first example shows simple volumetric structures with shading and a light source. The second example shows a more complex arrangement of volumetric shapes. Shapes can be overlapped, tapered, extruded, and intersected with one another. Understanding these fundamental examples is key to tackling more complex work.
This is the closest I’ll get to seeing snow in Florida.
