In the recent past I’ve developed confidence in myself in a way I have never before experienced as a visual artist. I now know that with dedication, patience, research, and tools I can draw pretty much anything. How well I do it, technically and aesthetically speaking, is just a matter of time. These pictures aren’t…
I’m having fun with the names of these articles. I gotta admit, I’ve been feeling pretty worn out. I’ve added so many new things to my day-to-day life that after being derailed by the faulty DVD I was in the midst of reviewing for last week’s aborted #DiscoveringWrestling I found it hard to get back…
So, I’ve been slowing down on the sketching and adventuring with my art because I have been preparing a full page as a test for my ability to do a comic that I will host here. All my effort lately has been in slowly bringing this together. Adding details and elaborating on it. I’m a…
Okay, okay, I’m cheating here a bit. These are also from an old sketchbook, the same one my mecha drawings are from. It’s all years old content, but I needed to have an article ready for today and figured that I haven’t shown off much in the way of my fictional Pro-Wrestling universe. So, here’s…
This week is gonna be short but sweet. As I’ve mentioned in my sporadic #CrowdPleasers columns, my favourite kind of reward, while not always in my price range, are the ones that let you add something creatively to the product you are helping to support.

So, with that fun three week dive into my mecha designs now behind me, it’s time to move on in the #SketchbookAdventures and get a little more caught up. We’re still not “current”, and hopefully by the time we are, you’ll see just how much I have improved over even this stuff, which was the…
So, here we are again with more mecha mania for all my fellow lovers of giant robots! I’m still pulling these from a really old sketchbook as I try to get more content with my up-to-date skills built up in my newest sketchbook for these adventures that we are on. So, here we will continue…
As I further developed my foreshortening and anatomy skills, I started pushing myself to try new things with my art that I had felt were beyond me previously. I arrived at this idea of blocking out a specific space on the page and trying to use photo references to assist me in understanding how to…
So, after a long delay and sitting on a stack of scanned files, we are back for Round 2 of the #SketchbookAdventures! We last left off with me having finally had something click that was missing for me in my ability to comprehend and execute the all-important task of foreshortening in my art. So I…
Recently I completed the third full illustration in my new sketchbook and, amongst the usual self-criticism of the perpetually improving artist, I stopped to take a look back at the sketchbook I had just set aside. Therein lay the tale of the year in which I believe I have made the most improvements. I decided…
