I finally finished this drawing last Saturday. I can’t seem to get ahead at all when it comes to art. Life keeps happening to me. Good things, bad things, and all the things in between good and bad. Just keeps happening to me. Those spaces of time I used to devote to creating art haveContinue reading

This is where I’m at so far with my current drawing. Getting there, ever so slowly! I wish I had something to say. But my mind has been really blank this last week. I haven’t felt motivated to put words to screen. I haven’t felt motivated to do much of anything, if I’m being honestContinue reading
Hello, I don’t know. I haven’t been writing in this blog enough, and I want to change that. I usually love to write in blogs. But for whatever reason I got caught up in a dream where that wasn’t happening. Yeah, a “dream.” So I learned something interesting about 5 months ago or so. IContinue reading
Finally started this piece. I’m still not quite sure what I want the whole composition to be. I’m hoping that as I work on it, it’ll become clearer to me what I need to do with it to make it look the way I want.
Finally finished this one. Making it was a struggle and it seems somewhat unresolved to me, but I’m still going to keep it in the series. You can’t win every time. And if I were to devote my energy to making every taiga drawing the absolute best it could possibly be, it would likely takeContinue reading
Hello there. Stopping by after what’s been a while, I see. I lost some of the momentum I’d built up over the summer, mostly due to a job change. Turns out I love my new job, so much so I willingly allowed it to take over my life for the last few months. It’s beenContinue reading
My poor blog I can tell has been collecting dust. These last few weeks have been somewhat crazy. On September 15th, a tiny wound on the back of my hand became infected. The infection seemed miniscule. I thought, “oh, I’ll just get some presciption level ointment, and it’ll pass.” But actually, it didn’t. It becameContinue reading
Hello. I’m all done with this drawing now. It’s drawing #7 of what’s going to be a large amount of drawings (don’t know the exact number yet) for the Taiga Series. I’m feeling pretty tired from working on it, ha. Like I kinda feel like I just got run over by a truck. As muchContinue reading
Finally got the whole composition filled in. I’m still in the early stages of this, though, as one might be able to discern due to how underworked the values are. While there will be a lot of hard whites and blacks in this piece, there certainly won’t be this much. Or at least that isContinue reading
Here’s a progress shot of where I’m at with my next drawing. (It’s cropped – it’s bigger than what is visible here.) I’m not too far, but farther than I thought I would be, as I’ve been somewhat distracted as of late. Outside has been an inferno. I’ve spent the last two weeks avoiding theContinue reading
