Hey, #PortfolioDay, it’s me Herschel. I’m a cat who draws people. Here’s some of my recent stuff!
Trying to get back into it. Drawing tablet and desk are all packed up, so spending more time in procreate lately.

Pretty happy with this one. Painted the background while on the phone a while ago. I couldn’t get the figure to work, so put it down and left it at that. Picked it back up last week and managed to put it together.

One more in this study series. I just did all 4 right in the same document, doing each step across all studies rather than finishing one before moving on to the next. Anyone have a better way of preforming art faster?

No.2 of the “Really need to practice hands and faces” series. Like the background better than the figure this round.

Really need to practice hands and faces, but I just want to draw …well, you know.
Compromise makes the world go round. First of a few studies. Trying to work faster, and not be too precious with anything.

First time messing around in #ClipStudioPaint. Definitely a learning curve coming from photoshop, though just about everything in my workflow is there. Much much snappier with most brushes, utterly unusable with others (thanks Kyle Webster, iykyk)

Procreate work from ref. Thanks for supporting the art community @hjmodelevivant.bsky.social!
Felt like the pose needed water, and was a struggle for sure to add that in, lots of leaning left to do. Critique box open

Haven’t been able to draw much these past few weeks. A flooded basement has me playing handyman (hyperventilating into a paper bag). Really miss life drawing classes, here’s some old archives from some in person sessions. All done in procreate.

2 of 4, and some alternates if anyone’s interested. Comments/critiques welcome!

Current WIP. Office pin-up stuff. Work has been crazy tho, so maybe the “progress” bit is overstated.

Life has been crazy busy lately, so haven’t had a lot of time to draw and erase the same line over and over. Here’s a study in procreate from a while ago. Tried out some new brushes

Couple quick figure studies using ref from @grafitstudio.bsky.social
I always try to use other brushes, but @kyletwebster.bsky.social ‘s paintbox is just too much fun.
“Quick” in this case means “sloppy.” I cannot draw fast.
