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.

I've been continuing to dig through my old Blender projects lately, and like the Piranha Plant I did a month ago, this Blaster Master tank looked primed for a re-work.
So I spent some time yesterday adding new details, re-working materials, and fixing some things that looked very unfinished in the original work. This is the end result!
The scene uses a mix of images and procedural textures, and I had a great time roughing things up. You can see it from all angles over at Sketchfab.
6 years ago, I posted a render of a piranha plant I modeled and textured to practice Blender. It isn't a bad render, but the procedural materials look a little rough and I wanted to revisit it and see how I could improve it.
This is the result - an updated render with a blend of procedural and texture-based materials and employing all the stuff I've learned since creating the original.
There's probably a little more that I could do to clean it up, but overall, I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out. I might have to revisit some of my other older projects soon to see what I can do!
If you're interested in inspecting this one from other angles, you can see it on Sketchfab.
For my thirty-first - and last! - illustration for Inktober 2022, I drew a sleepy moon!
This was made in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for lines/shading, and the Tarraleah and Hartz brushes for texture.

Thanks to everyone out there who might've been enjoying my daily work this month. Hope to see you soon with another project!
This is my thirtieth illustration for Inktober 2022 - the "ideal" landscape!
This was made in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Mercury brush for lines/colors, and the Larapuna and D'Entrecasteaux brushes for shapes and shading.
