2-Point Perspective

Just a little #tutorial on how to draw cubes in perspective!

By starting with simple forms like cubes to get the perspective correct, more complicated forms (like #cats) become easier to draw!

Art #1166 “Growth Potential”

I painted this in 2021, but I’m feeling it again…all this energy to create and not enough hours in the day to do it.

(It’s also a bit of #anxiety too, holding onto those rocks.)

Painted by a human in Photoshop.

Art #1411 "Green Man of Azeroth"

I love the old Warcraft 3 box art, and had the n'elf as my desktop in college. For this I thought, what would the Green Man look like in Azeroth? A druid who'd transformed into a treant too many times? :D
