College is kicking my butt, but I'm getting through it alright 😅 Speaking of college, I sketched this within an hour during drawing class.

I went to Hobby Lobby after my birthday and picked up a set of Fabriano sketchbooks. They're the perfect size for when you're on the go and want to sketch something quickly.

Midterms are next week and I just got around to having some down time. This was a quick hour sketch to freshen up my skills. This model I did not photograph, this was just a reference I found on Pinterest. #sketchbook #college #sketch #sketchbookdrawing #sketchdrawing #graphite #blackandwhite #pencildrawing #portrait #portraitdrawing #drawing #quicksketch #headhsot #headshotdrawing #coloradoartist #coloradoillustrator #coloradoart #denverartist #denverart #denverportraitartist #coloradoportraitartist #portraitartist #sidebyside #comparison #model #girl #pinterest #reference (at Denver, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/Buw7tHClnli/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here's a short but sweet doodle I did in #csp! Asaro head is incredibly helpful to practice skills like lighting, plane direction, and applying colors without blending. I'm also really digging the loose, comic style. And check out that facial recognition 👌 lol! . . . . . 👩🏽‍🦲 #portraitarts  #digitalarts  #portraitdrawing  #digitalportraits  #art  #illustration #digitalart #girl #woman #digitalpainting #digitalillustration #digitalartist #digitalportraitdrawing  #clipstudiopaint #clipstudiopaintpro #colorful #artprocess  #process #arttutorial #arttutorials #arttips  #comicsketch  #comicdrawing  #comicart https://www.instagram.com/p/CbjK1vAOzDD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This week I've been working on this piece to submit to Saturday AM #marchartmadness! I'm on team Saturday Brunch, and our first theme was Genderbent Superheroes. This is my first time ever participating in an event like #marchartmadness2022 and I'm super glad I was able to join. The superhero I chose was DC Comic Starfire 🌟 🔥, and it was a lot of fun looking at some of her more recent designs and coming up with a male version that was different than her brother Wildfire 🔥 but still captured all of her charm and energy. Let me know what you think about this firey alien 👽 boy! Also, check out my teammate's @bertsawal_artart version of Genos from One Punch Man! . . . . . 👽 #comicsketch #comicart #comicdrawing #comicink #ipaddrawing #csp #clipstudiopaintpro #clipstudiopaint #ipaddrawing #ipadsketch #ipadsketching #characterdesign #characterconcept #superherodrawing #dccomicsart #starfire #starfireart #digitalsketch #digitaldrawing #saturdayam #saturdaybrunch #marchartmadness2022 https://www.instagram.com/p/CbBvawLuMHe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Happy Friday! I drew Wonder Woman 🦸🏻‍♀️ about two weeks ago, and wanted to share the final drawing as well as the timelapse. Fun fact: one of the earliest versions I saw of Princess Diana 🦸🏻‍♀️ was the "2009 Wonder Woman" 🎥 I rewatched that movie s o many times, and had a lot of fun finding inspiration from the film for this sketch. ✍️🏾 Which movie or animated film of #wonderwoman 🦸🏻‍♀️ is your favorite? 🔴 . . 🟡 . . 🔵 . . #leximakesart_ #coloradoartist #denverartist #denvercomicartist #coloradocomicartist #coloradodigitalartist #denverdigitalartist #procreateartist #procreateartwork #procreateportrait #procreatecomic #procreateartist #procreatepainting #procreateapp #madewithprocreate #digitalartworks #digitalartists #digitalartists #ipadartist #applepencilart#digitalportrait #ipadportrait #ipadpainting #digitalrealism #digitalpaintings #digitalpainter #digitalsketching #digitaldrawings #digitalartsociety https://www.instagram.com/p/CcG4MIgOLbC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tutorial: How to Draw a ONESHOT Comic (with limited pages)

The purpose of black out Tuesday is to spread awareness and aid in BLM. @lilnasx said on Twitter, if you’re planning to participate in the Blackout, please share posts and work by the black community, instead of only posting a black image. Link to organizations and foundations you can donate to, help pay for bail funds, and find resources. Share books and or video recommendations. Share a piece of history, like the special running on #reconstructPBS. Call your local officials, learn about your local and state institutions, who’s in charge and who would be a better fit for your cities and states. #BLM #blacklivesmatter (at Denver, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA8tbPqhD5G/?igshid=1ahecuisgi9vf

Here's my new drawing of @anyachalotra! 👩🏻 Seeing her play the beautiful sorceress Yennefer of Vengerberg 🏰 from @witchernetflix 🐺 was amazing!

It’s been a while since I’ve drawn a man, so of course I had to draw Henry Cavill! 🦸🏻‍♂️ I actually had a lot of fun drawing ✍🏽 him using the pre-made charcoal brushes in @procreate.
