It was a dark night of the soul for the Snollygoster when he realized he was out of snails. The competition for the World’s Best Chef was the next morning and he was running out of time to perfect his snail soup recipe.

Finally getting to play with Kyle Webster’s new Procreate brushes! My favs are the “Oils” set and the “Nightingale” brush from the “Lettering” pack. Who else has been experimenting with these? Which ones are your favorites?

I never knew how many different kinds of chickens were out there until I had a coop of my own! My favorite chicken was a Barred Rock named Adelaide. Who else has enjoyed backyard chickens and fresh eggs?

This piece was revamped from one of the first illustrations I did back in 2021. Swipe to see the progress from 2025 > 2024 > 2021. Always nice to look back and see some progress!

I’ve always adored alpacas! So cute and fluffy! Before I start a new illustration, I collect reference images on Pinterest and then fill up a few sketchbook pages while looking at my board. More alpacas to come!

Hi Brian,

Working with color is my favorite part of the illustration process. Here are some examples that show how I work and a link to my portfolio.

Playing around with a new character. Character design usually begins with reference images and my sketchbook. I love this part of the process because it’s simply an exploration of lines on the page (mostly) free from my inner critique and decisions about what’s working.

It's been on my to-do list to make b&w art to add to my portfolio. I've taken some time off my day job to focus on art and I've been having fun making new pieces. This image came from a new dummy that I'm working on.

What my illustration process (mostly) looks like:

thumbnail > rough sketch > polished sketch > value study > color roughs > flat color > textures

Which stage is your favorite? Mine is definitely color!
