https://www.instagram.com/p/CEccO1rjBbR/?igshid=1jxpsbxlr24qt Piggybacking on my previous post about Adobe Capture, I've also been using the program to create quick patterns for multiple projects. https://www.instagram.com/p/B6rSIoxD0Q7/?igshid=1g5ikxluk0xwz Adobe has a pattern option in the camera/image import. I like using it sparingly because it has limitations on the quality produced. The color vector patterns are splotchy; the bitmap patterns are... Continue Reading →
Adobe Fresco
“As Above So Below” created in Fresco with adjustments and gradients added later in Photoshop (desktop). In digital drawing apps, I might be one of the few that prefers Adobe Fresco over Procreate. While I enjoy Procreate, I find myself using Fresco more for its simplicity. Fresco was initially called "Project Gemini" and combined the... Continue Reading →
Webtoon Short Story Contest: Fail! Oh no!
I said I would update everybody about the Short Story Contest hosted by Webtoon. I committed to the project back in March when it was first announced. Now that it is the end of June and the contest wrapped up, here are my thoughts on the whole process. To read the comic I submitted, Man... Continue Reading →
Testing out the Wacom Cintiq Pen Display
I made a pandemic purchase: a 13” Wacom Cintiq pen display. It’s used, I couldn’t afford it new. I mostly still use my iPad to make drawings, but I did use a tablet whenever I worked on my desktop. In the history of tablets I’ve owned, they have been mostly basic. The one above was... Continue Reading →
Art on Masks
You can now buy my art on masks. What a weird time to be alive? I’ve had the designs up for awhile now. I never really thought several months ago that we would be in global pandemic. Enough time has passed that it’s become “the new normal” and masks are slowly becoming more commonplace. I’m... Continue Reading →
The Grievers Art and Digital Paint explorations
Oh snap! I guess I had this post in my drafts for over a few months and never got around to publishing. Created in Adobe Sketch, then finished in Adobe Fresco using some of the oil painting live brushes. I had a lot of issues with it initially in Sketch. Luckily the new tools available...

Say it with Stickers!
I've been obsessed with stickers. I usually can't get the fancy cases for my accessories, so I decorate it with all the fun stuff. Stickers feel like mini artworks I can place where ever. I ordered so many from my friends and they are all lovely. I'll be sure to link their shops below. I... Continue Reading →
Creature Designs and Art Challenges
ETA: this post got away from me. I should have published it months ago, but got busy behind the scenes with other projects. I am working on a secret project. In the mean time I have been working on designing characters and creatures said project. Creature designs are a new endeavor for me. I don't... Continue Reading →
New Art: Adobe Sketch and Draw
I've been mostly working with digital these days. I've always dabble in digital painting, even as a young high schooler (so, so many years ago). Now that I've invested in a tablet that can work with the Apple Pencil and use the art programs, it's been a fun return to focus mainly on digital drawing... Continue Reading →
Adobe Education Exchange: Illustrator
I have a hate-hate relationship with learning Illustrator. I have avoided it for most of my life. Many attempts were made on my behalf to try and master this beast. I could never really "get" this program or vector graphics. Pretty much any Creative Cloud program I could intuitively learn with some effort. Not Illustrator...... Continue Reading →
