I've been studying facial expressions using the exercises from the book "Making Comics" by Scott McCloud as part of my journey toward creating my own graphic novel.
Still so much to explore, but I'm excited to keep learning!

I started my day with a quick sketch with breakfast and tea, fit one in on my lunch break, and sat down after dinner for two more to fill the page up a bit.

Three quick figure sketches from a freestyle dance video—an exercise in capturing movement with speed and confidence.

A page of rotating cylinders. Unlike cubes, these demand an eye for subtle curves and balanced ellipses, revealing just how much a slight misalignment can throw everything off.

Exploring consistency and perspective and hoping for crisp lines, tight perspective, and a meditative process, I uncovered areas of weakness, turning them into opportunities for growth.

My Pilot Custom Heritage 92 EF—a piston-filler that’s been with me since the start of my fountain pen journey. With it, I’m exploring De Atramentis Document White for highlights on toned paper. Still learning its quirks, but I love how it pops!

A page in my Stillman & Birn Nova Gray sketchbook using Noodler’s X-Feather Black and De Atramentis Document White with gesture studies of the first 17 seconds of a dance routine by CDK, and cube studies to explore contour lines and form, reinforcing character design and spatial awareness #penandink

Today I got a new ink (De Atramentis White) and started a new sketchbook (Stillman and Birn - Nova Gray).
These are both new tools and challenges for me and I feel equally humbled and excited for what may come if it.

9 more flora sketches.
I'm pausing this 1000 drawings challenge project to focus on building my skills with simplified forms, composition, and working from imagination.
During this break, I'll continue exploring #comicbook and #graphicnovel design theory.

I love juggling multiple projects at once—it keeps the creativity flowing and helps me avoid burnout.
Here's some progress on a large pen-and-ink portrait I'm working on while I take a break from comic book philosophy.

Practicing layouts with a full page of panels, inspired by exercises from Making Comics by Scott McCloud. Exploring pacing, composition, and storytelling.
I’m starting to better understand visual storytelling!
