Copic Pen Shading
Video Number Five Another video was made! In this one, I chat a little bit about shading, specifically Copic marker shading. I take you through a quick process of how I shaded the image below. Copic Markers are a pretty popular tool for colouring artwork, and especially for shading ink drawings.
Hands On T-shirts
A little story about some t-shirt designs It started with a goal of getting better at drawing hands. Ask any artist and they will say drawing hands are one of the most frustrating areas of the human anatomy to make look right. So I did a lot of sketching hands of strangers in cafes, from […]
Vietnam: Woman Waiting
When: Aug, 2018 Duration: 37 mins What: A woman waiting in a cafe Where: The Coffee House, Ho Chi Minh Details: Sunday afternoon cafe sketch of a woman across the way.
