When someone commissions me, I absolutely love getting a rough sketch/doodle of their concept—it makes the first steps of an illustration (composition/posing) so much easier.
I’ll never ever judge a client for a messy sketch!! (And also, no pressure to send something like this if you’d like the artist to take the creative reins on your piece.)
i have nothing to say other than you were one of the reasons i began drawing 3 years years ago and your illustrations / concept of color & light still inspire me to draw everyday , i just wanted you know you helped changed my life and inspired me to be a better person / artist . i hope this message isnt overwhelming and i hope you have a wonderful day 🧡
AAAHH thank you so much!! It’s not overwhelming at all, and I just want to add that I read every single message I get here (even if I don’t post a response to them), & I appreciate kind words like this so much. This message is from earlier this year, and I hope you’re still learning and drawing and coming across wild new things now, months later.
As a treat here are some pages from a sketchbook I finished recently. Yes I take this long to finish sketchbooks nowadays :)
I wanted to give folks here a heads up that I’ve deleted my Redbubble account (they added a crappy fee structure + they’ve never been good at paying artists fairly), so if you want prints you should use my Inprnt. Thanks!
Commissions are currently open; email at [email protected] for inquiries.
And when I was hanged between earth and heaven they lifted up their heads to see me. And they were exalted, for their heads had never before been lifted.
Personal piece :) The compression may be hiding this, but written on the underside of the antelope’s skin is “un jour je serai de retour près de toi” (‘one day I will return to your side’), which is something I have been turning over in my brain a lot as of late.
