I worked this up from a thumbnail sketch done around 2020. Decided to keep to the low-contrast, low-saturation idea. I added a crashed plane to add some spice. #digitalpainting #art #conceptart #landscape

This one started as a super loose sketch a long time ago. Finished it up with a mixture of a sketch, some photobashing, and more painting. #digitalpainting #illustration #fantasyart #knight #art

Sometimes I like the look of a roughed-out sketch in color, and I don't want to take it further because the idea is done. #digitalpainting #landscape #conceptart

This panel started as a figure sketch, and I decided it needed an environment. #art #drawing #digitalart #storyboard

Here's a relatively loose drawing of Alex Johnson climbing, probably in Bishop. One of the greatest folks out there. #climbing #art #figuredrawing #sketch #drawing #digitalart

I wanted to do a quick sketch of some armor, but I wound up taking it way too far. #knight #armor #art #digitalpainting #digitalart

This is a weird little back alley space near where I used to work. I like the sketch layer on top with value and color underlays. I first saw this technique work out well by looking at @ianmcque.bsky.social

This is based on a still from Black Sails, which is a favorite show. In fact, Treasure Island was my favorite book as a kid. I must have re-read it at least 10 times in elementary school. #art #drawing #lifedrawing #figuredrawing #pirate #blacksails #sketch

I started a few years ago with the horizontal sketch and worked it up last month into a simpler vertical sketch. I like the new one much more. #digitalart #digitalpainting #landscape #art

#portrait sketch with big hair. I always like the hard-edge look of the lasso tool when combined with line work. #sketch #art #digitalart #digitalsketch #drawing

A sketch from a while back. Exploring some anatomical construction and flattening some shapes while adding dimension to others. #art #drawing #figuredrawing #sketch #artist
