Sniper

Illustration, Traditional media

Commission for a birthday gift! This adorable pitbull is Sniper, and he has the cutest, biggest grin. Watercolor, gouache and pen on paper.

Speck

Illustration, Traditional media

Speck is a little dog with a lot of emotions. This is a surprise/birthday gift for my coworker, whose deep love of scruffy little dogs with problems is manifested in this tiny magnificent creature. I worked from reference photos secretly snapped by Speck’s dogwalker.

Lightnin’ Hopkins

Illustration, Traditional media

A portrait of the late, great Lightnin’ Hopkins, beloved bloodhound of Rocket Dog Rescue’s founder, Pali Boucher. Pen and watercolor on paper. It was too big for my scanner so I took a not-very-good photo with my phone.

Survivalist girl

Traditional media

I watched a miniseries last week that wasn’t all that good, but it did give me the awesome image of an 11 year-old girl riding a horse into the wilderness with a rifle and her long-haired chihuahua. I made the rifle into a bow because it was my lunch break and I had no reference.

Naked Vampire Boy

Traditional media

Loving these SKB ballpoint pens.

Tiefling Ranger

Traditional media

Another sketch for my new sketchbook! Tiefling ranger with her bearded vulture animal companion. Some proportional wonkiness on this, but I think I like it enough to use as the basis of a painting.

New sketchbook

Traditional media

I can’t seem to stop by Palace Art and Office Supply in Santa Cruz without buying SOMETHING. This time, it was a bunch of pens and a toned sketchbook.
