In an art making mood and did a #cat drawing. Cas is a most royal feline, it’s only fitting she pose for a #portrait. Black paper and #oilpastel.

I was lucky enough to see Hamilton live…so wow. In honor of Paul Tazewell’s costume design for Hamilton (also he won an Oscar, hot damn!), I did a sketch of Aaron Burr in the style I remember trying to learn in Paul’s class. I still can’t draw or even understand a cravat; some things don’t change.

Quick 20 minute lunch sketch! Made an improvised sketchbook from some copier paper and a folder, worked great.

Consumed life drawing at @hipboneartstudio.bsky.social - 3 hour session in #oilPastel A much needed time away from everything to sit and draw. And the model brought some impressive props! #figureDrawing #pastel #portrait

More and more, I think of Goya. After years of heroic court portraits, he created desperate drawings showing horrors of war. At the end of his life, all he had left was a manic scream into the void painted alone onto the walls of his home. When I see the news or AI “art” sludge, I feel him there.

I’ve been having a lot of trouble making art lately, life has felt too heavy. Maybe need to get back to figure drawing again, nothing like sitting in a room for 3 hours to force the issue. Here’s an oil pastel from a few months ago from a model session.

A snowy tree sketch inspired by more winter adventures last weekend and this weekend, I’m a sucker for the picture looking up at tall trees - my phone has a few on every trip.

Cute bird I met snowshoeing early this month. About a half dozen young fluffy spheres were playing in the snow and checking out my partner and I under the watchful eye of their parents.

Portions of my Inktober project 2 years ago where I committed to the idea of my cat as the main character in a wordless picture book. While none of these are in my current project planning, but I really liked this sequence. #illustration #drawing

I always felt like Silent Night was the least interesting Christmas song…until I heard this version by Patrick Vu. More people need to know about this arrangement! youtu.be/FOn-e0nL1rE?... #christmascarol #choral

Betrayal by the human, bagged and taken to the vet. A traumatic morning for all involved. Cas had Distemper when she was a kitten and lost her eye, but is now a tyrant of an old lady at 16. She is the main character and knows it.

A sketch from my Inktober this past year - the values/rendering on the car feel like my target for value/detail/linework I should be getting to in my illustrations. And look at this, I remembered hashtags exist! Small victories. #drawing #illustration #art

I’m working on compositions that span a two page spread. Anyone have advice or book suggestions for learning this kind of thing?
