Do you know them? Detail of my piece for the upcoming #crazy4cult @galleries1988 I know it’s super different from what I usually share, but colored pencil was actually my medium before jumping to digital and it was nice to sharpen my pencils again (: I’ll share the full finished piece very soon (: Hope you like it!

Happy 2020, friends! Sharing this piece from last year to show that you don’t need to have a beautiful reference image to create a solid illustration. The most important things to have in your reference are clarity (i.e. it’s not grainy and you can see the details), perspective (the angle and viewpoint you want) and proportions. Of course, gorgeous lighting and color are wonderful too, but you can usually get plenty of color information even from a crumby photo if you’re willing to use your imagination and over emphasize what you see in the reference. Also, some of the lighting that works well and looks great in a photo isn’t necessarily all that great for an illustration (that light and bright look is gorgeous, but you need some shadows in your drawings if you want them to look realistic!). Secod image is the photo I used for this piece, complete with dim lighting, too-gray white balance, and baby’s high chair tray in the background.

“You seem to have me confused with some warm-blooded damsel in distress.”
Still showcasing older heroes and villains I’ve done while leading up to Heroes and Villains Con next weekend! This is a piece I keep pulling out and working on when I have some downtime. She’s actually much closer to being finished now, what do you guys think? Should I keep going forward? Based on the Arkham Asylum version of Poison Ivy, shown here with some of her favorite babies.

“Honey whatcha waiting for? Step into my candy store!”
Before Regina George, there was Heather Chandler…the almighty…she is a mythic bitch.
Still showcasing older heroes and villains I’ve done while leading up to Heroes and Villains Con next weekend! The Heathers definitely fit into that category wouldn’t you say? Did this quick little sketch a few years ago, might be time to revisit it.

With Heroes and Villains coming up in just a week, I thought I’d revisit some of my old pieces showing some fav non-Disney heroes and villains. This was original art of Zatanna I made for a client on Etsy, shipped with a small Poison Ivy thank you. (I really love customizing thank you cards for commissions)
