Illustration Sketchbook

My sixth illustration for Februdoodle is called Constellation, with the moon working out some new constellations in the stars.

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, and the Hartz brush, Watercolor brush, and Soft airbrush for background texture.

My fifth illustration for Februdoodle is Hatosaurus, with three dinosaurs sporting some cool headwear.

Yesterday I asked my son what I should draw, and he wanted me to draw a dinosaur. I felt bad that I didn't oblige, so I made up for it today. I kinda wanted to work a comet into the background somehow (you can see this in the time-lapse), but I didn't want to change the composition around too much at the end.

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, and the Hartz and Grid brushes for background texture.

Here's my fourth illustration for Februdoodle, Fishin'. I was at a street fair earlier today looking at some prints, and I got inspired to do something a little simpler today. I was tempted to add a little grunge to the edges, but in the end decided against it, and I sorta like it being less noisy.

As usual, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching and a slightly modified version of the Mercury brush for linework.

My third illustration for Februdoodle is Looking Closer, where a woman is peering intently into a dusty old book. Searching for clues? I guess!

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, and the Decimals brush for texture.

My second illustration for Februdoodle is a chicken sitting on a giant egg, which I'm not sure belongs to the chicken.

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, the Hartz brush for background texture, and the Airbrush for blending.

Welp, I think I'm gonna do a drawing challenge for February - which I've dubbed Februdoodle!

My first illustration is a cone trying its best to keep things orderly. I drew this one because my son is currently obsessed with cones, and I knew he'd get a kick out of it.

Created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, and the Hartz brush for background texture.

Inktober 2022 #29 – Snail

My twenty-ninth illustration for Inktober 2022 is accidentally very apt - a slow, slow snail. I barely got this one done/uploaded in time!

This was made in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for lines/colors, and the D'Entrecasteaux, Noise, and Hartz brushes for added texture.
