Illustrator, cartoonist and portrait artist working in gouache, watercolor, charcoal, graphite as well as digitally.

I make very political illustrations but also like painting faeries and cute fuzzy animals and nerdy fanart.

Hello! My name is Lore Wilson. I’m an illustrator, cartoonist and portrait artist who creates in a wide variety of styles and mediums with an emphasis on figurative realism. I draw and paint everything from political art to speculative fantasy with a love of nature and what is human.
another page of charcoal figure studies and a portrait study from last week using a @trueref.bsky.social photo reference pack! this time from their Classic Warrior: Idrissou set :)

i keep slowly getting this drawing closer and closer to done. i am probably over-rendering.

since the last post Dua’a and her sweet family have been further displaced from North Gaza to the South under continually worsening conditions. please help them stay alive.

so many awesome poses to choose from @trueref.bsky.social . i could fill up an entire pad of newsprint with studies from their reference packs and still have more to draw from for inspiration.

most were from the Bre demo starter pack but there is also one of Jess from the July pose challenge.
a page of ovoid mannequin studies from last month that i’m just now getting around to posting as it took my brain awhile to write up some alt text. i really enjoyed working on these. mannequinizing helps to see the form three-dimensionally.

photo reference for the poses is from @trueref.bsky.social

As the TrueRef library continues to grow so does our need to keep our prices up to date and a reflection of what we've added to our service.

Is what I'd say if I just raised the prices of all our packs, but I didn't. Instead I lowered them!

A commissioned piece I finished a few days ago for a horror aficionado friend who loves and collects all things skulls. Not real ones of course…that I know of 👀💀

Digital shoulder warmup and drawing practice page from today as a way to try out a few poses from my new subscription to @trueref.bsky.social ^_^ I‘m gonna try to make a regular habit of this again. I have a feeling some of these drawings might end up becoming paintings somewhere down the line…

The comic book covers I penciled, inked and colored for the Vandals comic book miniseries from 2018, with the last cover being digitally painted in 2020 for the collected edition. Written by Phil Malone and published by Red 5 Comics.

Four older gouache portrait paintings from back in my Watts Atelier Online student days, the first three of which were done using photo reference from their class workbooks for Gouache Phase One.

A few of my more political digital ink illustrations over the last few years. I have previously made a few of these available as coloring book pages as well as open to free use for protests, distributing, and wheat pasting. I may do so again soon. I will be sure to link to the files here when I do.

More of my most recent studies in charcoal this time focusing on understanding the head structure through skull studies, more Reilly Method abstraction lines, and a page of graphite head drawings in my sketchbook focusing on the skull, an Asaro head mannequin and a few artist copies.

Pencils for the first five sketch cards I’ll be making available for purchase at $50 each once they’re painted! I have more in the works that I will be posting to this thread soon 🙂

A collection of my most recent charcoal figure studies, breaking down the form into a figure abstraction known as the Reilly method as well as the mannequin form as taught by Andrew Loomis and the ovoid form as I learned it from Watts Atelier, all of these coming from their online class workbooks.
