WWN: Knights and Bees


Weekly Wednesday Newsletter no. 105

[GREETING GOES HERE]

What's Going On

Lot of painting studies recently loll

Random Drawings

Birds but no bees:

I made a new background for this one:

Don't think I nailed the likeness, but I'm trying to get better at it:

I think I'm having trouble with faces cause I've created a habit of automatically using specific colors even when it's not how they actually appear. Also cause faces require much more precise measurements (that I don't have the patience for lol)

Interior Book Illustrations

A quick assignment to draw 3 interior illustrations for a book

That other board game

2 more to go I think


What I've been thinking about

I'm calling a well known board game illustrator tomorrow. I'm pretty excited! Let me know if you have any suggestions on what to ask

I think I should probably hang out with more people. I didn't go out much when I was in Seattle cause I was trying to get good, but after a certain time idk if the trade offs are that great lol

Dino nuggets

Bi-Weekly Wednesday Newsletter no. 126 [GREETING GOES HERE] What's Going On My own website I made my portfolio finally lol. It's not really targeted for work, but the structure resonated with me.
