Artist and writer who loves to express myself through creating fictional worlds and sharing them with people. Massive medieval nerd.
Bought an iPad and did my first digital painting. Followed James Julier Winter Landscape tutorial.

Almost finished blocking in the head and shoulders. The instructor makes everything look easy especially considering he’s drawing from a live model. With experience I hope to get faster.

Portrait drawing course progress. Having fun, although I wasn’t prepared for how long (several hours!) it was going to take just to get to this point.

I decided to take the portrait drawing course by Vitruvian Studio. So far I’m impressed. David is a great instructor and explains things in a clear and easy to understand way. Will post my progress tomorrow when the sun has come up. It’s my first time drawing a portrait, and I couldn’t be happier.

Has anyone taken the portrait drawing course at Vitruvian Studio? I'm considering it, but I'd like to hear other's comments about it if possible.

More Illustrator practice. This time with the curvature tool. This is a lot easier than I thought it would be.

Learning how to use Adobe Illustrator so that I can draw heraldry. Here's the first thing I made. A sleepy fox!

Case of the Mondays I guess. Nothing but bad luck today. Started off with my car not starting. Got the car two months ago, but the battery looks like it was from 20 years ago. That’s $200 I didn’t want to spend today 😭

To those artists who have transitioned from graphite to color pencil, is the learning curve too difficult? I'm learning portrait drawing with graphite and charcoal, but I'm slightly worried about whether or not I'd be able to translate those skills to another medium.

Looking for #worldbuilding related #StarterPacks. Artists, writers, mapmakers, etc.

The trailer for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 was a thing of beauty. Can't wait!
