Artist Progression

This is from 1999. I was 11.

Also from 1999. I decided to draw a cat that was at the animal hospital.

From 2001, when I was 13, I think?

Bahaha Dancing Shadow, what a great name.

2003. Age 15

2007. In college, took couple of art classes finally.

Started to figure out how to draw the human form

I went back and revisited several characters that I had created before

Trying to see how I would design them at the time

Arden again

She keeps on reappearing in my sketches

2010 - Rendering Assignment of Still Life

We had to arrange out own still life, light it a certain way, then render the heck out of it. This took forever.

2010 - Rendering Final

I think I only got a B+ on it. My shadows weren't doing the right thing and it was warping kind of weird. Oh well.

One of the various zoo drawings that I made

Done either 2009 or 2010. Can't remember

2011 (I think) - Life drawing class, my forth one so far

Gesture Drawing class - each pose was only from 10 seconds to 2 minutes to 5 minutes at most. Taught us to draw loosely and convey form within a matter of seconds

2011 Costumed Figure Drawing - 25 minute poses

the first two figures were done from real life - and the models held those poses for quite some time. It was a complete opposite to my gesture drawing class.

Doodling around 2011 for a class

This is when I started figuring out that I really liked inking. This sketch also launched a comic I created for a class assignment

2013 - Teaching myself how to paint in Photoshop

This was my second attempt to paint in Photoshop, and I pretty much just took a picture of onions off the internet and attempted to recreate it

2013 - Painting my feelings from Halo 4

This was also a nice exercise in painting - took a screencap of this scene and painted Master Chief. Took me a couple of days - and I never really did finish the painting (Sorry Cortana)

2013 - Inking Cool Dudes

2013 - Drawn and colored while camping with the family

2013 - Same camping trip, trying to figure out watercolors

January 25th, 2013 - A gift to my mom

I did these paintings right before I took over as director of Wellcast

January 25th, 2013 - Another gift to my mom

I decided to go all out and paint something from my own mind with all the creative flourish I could muster at the time. I was going to be super freaking busy in the following months, so I figured to go all out.

2013 - Sketching between rendering videos for Wellcast

Copying from JC Leyendecker and trying to study how he did hands

2013 - Remembering my animation and character design principles

Didn't want to lose them

2014 - Trying to figure out how to do imaginary lightsources

Using my own face

2014 - a gift for a friend from Final Fantasy 14: A realm reborn

It was a birthday gift made a month early. Also an exercise in using color.

2014 - doing whimsical drawings in ink

2014 - Sketch I did for fun

2015 - Created my own art magazine

Inktober 2015

This one in particular got a lot of likes

June 2015 Birthday gift for my fiance

August 2015

Something I wanted to do for myself

January 2016 - Arden comes back

World building and sketching out character ideas :D
