Sketch of my super old pup Hawkeye using only the Dry Gouache brush from Frankentoon’s Nomad brush pack for Procreate.

I purchased the Squid Brush Pack for Procreate from Frankentoon and I was really intrigued with the “Sunday strip” brush so I decided to do a quick 10-minute sketch to see how much I would like the brush. I ended up loving it!

I was experimenting with Procreate on my iPad Pro with my Apple Pencil and I’m quite pleased with how this turned out.

I purchased a set of Holbein gouache and I decided to do a food sketch to try and understand how the medium works. Painted in a Mossery watercolor sketchbook.

I wanted to try painting a single, much larger flower than the one in my “Blossoms at Dusk” painting while keeping that same contrast against the background. Daniel Smith and QoR watercolors in a Stillman and Birn Delta sketchbook.

This is the class project for a Skillshare class by Mimi Chao (Mimochai) called “Illustrated Journaling.” I started the class on January 1st and finished it on the same day so I thought it was only appropriate to do my journal page on my highlights from 2018.

I moved into my own place, some amazing movies came out that year, some furry friends were adopted into our family, many games of Dungeons & Dragons were had, and I had my first painting in an exhibition.

It’s really important to appreciate all the good things that happened to you, and not just focusing on the bad.
