The Drawing Road So Far...



Pre 2003
  • Drawing And Filling Sketchbooks - Throughout my schooling, and even as I pursued a career in graphic design, I was drawing every chance I had and filling sketchbooks. I've been drawing since I could hold a crayon to construction paper as a kid you could say. I recall starting to take it a bit more seriously and try to really improve at it in 3rd grade. I filled about one sketchbook a year after that.
2003+
  • Commission Character Art - Began doing the occasional character art commission through eBay auctions and via DeviantArt for extra beer and pizza money during college. 
  • Worked mostly traditional, and even shipped art to customers. Drew everything with traditional pencils and ink pens. Colored pieces in Photoshop.
2006-2009
  • Graphic designer at advertising firm - Primarily worked on graphic design for print posters, ads, books, brochures and branding.

I credit this gig as the push to go 100% digital in my work. I was never 100% happy with my traditional inking ability, so I started inking digital, and began sketching digitally too. Ironically years later, improving at inking digitally helped me revisit inking traditionally and get much better/ confident at it.
