Hello there!  It’s almost the end of January, but I still have a couple weeks of work remaining on my little lynx drawing. This makes sense. I draw slow. I thought I’d still update, though, just to provide a visual of where I’m at. :) This is the thrifted frame I’m THINKING of MAYBE going with… I won’t be

Well, I finished my skunk and got it fitted in its little thrifted frame. Here are some pictures of that process, as well as the final result! With this one, I relied less on referencing my digital collage and more on rendering a background and skunk that I felt really complemented each other. In case you’re curious,

Here are a couple progress shots of a graphite drawing of a lynx I started. This is based off a photograph I took of one of the lynx at the Minnesota Zoo. I decided to draw this one using a grid. Using a grid is how I do the Family Drawings. For the Taiga Series, though, I’ve been opting

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. I

Hello. So I thought the sketch of the lynx and lunar moths I had been putting together was just about done, that all I had left to do was make a few compositional tweaks. But I think it’s been like a week now. Don’t remember the last time I wrote in here. And this sketch

Hello. I’ve been in commission land for the last few months and am happy to write I will soon be out of that land and entering a new kind of land, one where I can focus solely on my taiga project, aka do my own thing. I’ve had fun working on the commissions, but it
