This commission - a sheriff pepper from Texas - is all wrapped up! I enjoyed trying some new effects with the colors on this one. I'm pretty happy with the gritty heavy black and white inks on this piece as well. This kind of dusk lighting lent itself to be pretty bold on its own, with only a few hard highlights here and there to pop off some edges. The end result is a pretty satisfying silhouette effect. There is something powerful too about a big dramatic sky with clouds in the background negative space. Works well!
Hope you all have a great Friday, get lots done! Do it to it where you are, try to do what you are doing, the best that you can. Try to find new ways to enjoy it and get excited about rocking it. No matter where you are right now, no matter what it is that you do. Whatever it is, nobody can do it like you can. So do it to it! That's what I try to do. Even if I'm not successful every time. You just keep trying.
A quick final heads up to my followers and supporters reading this. There's a few things this week to keep in mind.
1.) The 'draw train' tees, from stream this week, are going to go away end of the day today. Make sure to go grab one while you can. Put some one-off improv EryckDrawz sketches, based on chat prompts, right smack on your chest. Available in a couple different colors and sizes. They disappear end of work day today!

2.) Its been great meeting new customers, followers and fans this week! If you've been enjoying my drawing, and would like to own a book full of them, all my previous art book collections are available in my shop! Each page looks great condensed on tablet and smartphone screens, or right on your desktop! Get a book and get inspired to draw!

3.) This week, progress was made on production of my new artbook collectio. Best of Request VOLUME 7 collects my best drawings from 2022. This week, the book size has gone from about 215 pages to 250 pages. There's just a ton of great requests and I want to get as many in as possible. More updates on this production as it develops!
4.) Coming soon, I will be releasing a new emote pack for February. It will be a bunch of heart and valentines themed characters that anybody will be able to use on Twitch and beyond. Slated for the first week of February or before! Here's my previous emote packs, still available:
5.) Enjoy my work? Dont necessarily want to commission me but want to support and follow my drawing adventures? Want extra behind the scenes sketches, concept development and peeks at the sketchbook and practice work that goes on between commissions? Make sure to follow me over on KoFi - its a baby now, but its slowly developing its own identity and purpose. Get in on the ground floor, and thank you for supporting my personal art!
6.) Join the EWG/ EryckDrawz discord! Its the community hub for all fans/ clients and followers! We are currently doing a monthly drawing jam and occasional weekly jam. Get in there, get drawing with us and get inspired! Or just share some memes. Best place to get real-time updates! This link will expire in 7 days from this post:

Thank you for taking the time to read this end of the week update, as well as thank you for your general interest in my art and work. I appreciate the lurkers, who never comment, or chat, but are always there . I appreciate the supporting members of the community that keep the sauce bucket filled, the dog treat bin stocked for Chico and a roof over Kiwii's head. Thank you to every individual who takes time out of their day to encourage me to keep doing what I'm doing, and giving me that extra nudge to take it farther. Thank you for supporting me and my family, and caring about my art.
End your week on a high note, and I'll do the same. Have a great weekend and see you next week for more!
