    Here’s a batch of continuous line illustrations I did as part of my ongoing 52-week drawing challenge. I’ve gotten pretty far behind in posting, but have at least been able to keep up with the actual weekly illustrations. I had started my challenge out with a series of cute bumblebee illustrations but felt I needed a little break from that theme in favor of something a little more experimental.

    I also got around to creating a gallery for all my illustrations completed for the challenge. You can check that out here: 52 Week Drawing Challenge.

    Inktober 2018: Week 2

    So here I am with another week down in this year’s Inktober challenge. I felt like I got into a nice groove with these. It helps that I have been keeping to my Halloween theme for all the official word prompts. My first hang-up so far with that was for the prompt on day 12, “whale.” I have to admit I was completely stumped as to how to stick to my Halloween theme for whale. In the end, I decided to go for a bit of a Charles Addams approach. (You can see my solution for that one here.) So maybe not directly Halloween-themed, but certainly odd (if not potentially quite horror-filled!).

    Below are a few of my personal favorites for Inktober 2018: Week 2. Visit my Inktober 2018 gallery to see them all!

    A Charles Addams-style cartoon of a weary space traveler who unknowingly arrives at…The Wrong Planet! Wrong Planet was a single-page comic I did for a graphic novel class I took while attending VCU. I came across my rough pencils for this when I was organizing my art drawer a few weeks ago and thought it would be worth finishing up. I’m so glad I did! Not only was it a lot of fun, but I’m really happy with how it came out. Since most of the panels are more or less square, I went ahead and broke them up into individual images so I can post them as my first-ever Instagram comic. Below are images of the original pencils I did way back when, along with a recent progress shot of the inking done with a combination of brush and crow quill pen.

  • Illustration Friday: Propagate

    Illustration Friday: Propagate


    My concept for this week’s challenge is the propagation of peace. The style is based on traditional Buddhist paintings and on the Indian folk art of B.G. Sharma. The figure is based on a Balinese meditation teacher named Ratu Bagus, who I have had the pleasure of meeting on several different occasions.
