I just needed to get some paint down in the sketchbook. I have no clue where this is going, but I’m along for the ride.

It started out good but quickly went to shit. I don’t think there’s any way to salvage this one. I haven’t used gouache in a while. I may redraw and switch to watercolor. Bummer.

At one point I was working on a children’s book. I need to revisit this.

I’ve been using this Mac Mini for my art since 2011. I swapped in a Solid State Drive back in 2017 and breathed new life into the machine. The last couple years started to get a bit scary. It was getting more and more difficult to boot the computer up.

Still getting over COVID. I’m tired of not being able to hug and kiss my family though. #art #artfeedupdates #myart #penandink #inking #sketching #drawing #illustration #originalcharacter #oc #ocs #ocsky #animeart #mangadrawing #manga #digitalart

Guess who got Covid for the first time? At least the first positive test. I think I got it at the very beginning of 2020, but it’s hard to say.

Not a fan of Roller mains, but I respect them.
