Did this one a few years ago before I got into an accident that derailed my artistic pursuits.

Feelin' super frustrated with colour, so I'm gonna do some black and white middle grade kinda stuff

Loving all of the work, everyone!

I just finished this painting for my patrons (it was a group commission, my first time undertaking such a task, they suggested the theme and chose the thumbnail) that I am hoping doubles as a decent spread image for my illustration portfolio.

Still working on my vehicle design final. It has morphed into a true educational painting. As I work on this image, bits at a time, I am figuring out how my digital watercolor tools work. I am also working on Will Terry’s texture class to learn how to create the moss that I want to put all over this car. I was lucky enough to get this critiqued by Mr. Terry a few weeks ago, so that was AWESOME. Anyway, it’s coming along.

Hey everyone! I just got an iPad Pro so I’ve started teaching myself procreate this month! It’s super fun!

@JessicaStauffer Thanks Jessica! I had a hard time getting him right. Glad you like him.

I'm writing a very silly thing for giggles.

I am aware of the typo,

Made these guys for an 'Art Walk' my city was having. I set up a little table at a local art gallery and showed some of my other sculptures too. I've never done that, it was an experience. People were not interested, but a few kids said they were neat. Hurray?

I just finished up my Zoe Perisco inspired work and it didn't come out as nice as I'd like. I did like the mountains and so I remember that "song of the sea" Pinterest pictures had similar line work on their rocks, so I wanted to give them a similar go with pastels:

These are set up for Instagram which is why there is so much white space between. Thanks

Here’s a character lineup I’ve been working on from the new Character Design class. What do you think?

From left to right: Cogsworth, Belle, Beast, Mrs. Potts, dog

[Coley]

@Eric-Droke these are wonderful and so unique!

[Eric Droke]

@xin-li , I love this little guy so much! How did you get so much color in the fur and in those little music notes? Beautiful! That color variation adds so much interest and life to the image. I’d love to know how you did that.

[Eric Droke]

@Coley Thanks a ton! I’m still trying to wrap my head around “my style” and it’s really nice to get feedback. I appreciate it very much.

[xin li]

@Eric-Droke thank you very much. Regarding adding color variation. I put down one layer of the main color, then just use smaller brushes adding layers of layers of different color on top. Some times I adjust the opacity of the layer a bit so the colro mix together better. This particular image is done in procreate with 6b pencil and artistic crayon brushes (both are default procreate brushes). I try to think of how impressionist painter uses color - like Claude Monet's green is never just green - if you look closely there is pink, red, yellow, purple, and all other color in his green.

[Eric Droke]

@xin-li Thanks for the info! It’s similar to how I work, but I’m definitely going to try pushing more color in my process. Love it!
