New Photoshop Brushes!

I’ve never been a huge fan of drawing digitally, but then I downloaded a few of Kyle T. Webster’s Photoshop brushes and I’m addicted!  (Okay, that sounded sponsored, but I promise I’m not being paid to say this.)  They feel natural enough that I’m comfortable drawing directly into the computer (as opposed to my usual method of scanning a physical drawing and coloring/altering it digitally).

Here are some drawings I’ve created so far:

The following drawings were created for the Union Weekly at CSULB:

Here’s where to get these brushes for yourself!

Clem and Raymond

A few years ago, I wrote a short, very strange story about two kids as a way to get my creative wiggles out.  Most of it is absolute nonsense, but there is one passage that imparts a mental image that I enjoy (for reasons I am afraid to explore).

Anyway, here it is with some spot illustrations I drew today.

(Don’t worry, they survive.  As you may know from experience, babies have horrible aim.)

Alphabet of Dogs

This project consists of 26 gouache paintings, each measuring 4.5 x 6″.  All of the letters, with the exception of ‘Q’ ‘U’ and ‘Z’, correspond to the breed depicted.  See if you can name them all!

Pet Portrait Commissions

These adorable dogs and cats were commissioned as gifts for friends of the client.  I love the challenge of capturing an animal’s unique personality!

All of these portraits are 5 x 7″.
