Lil’ Valentine’s/Birthday card thing for my ma. Workin on my gouache game, thinkin about Tapestry by Carole King.
Just a little Beck I did in an hour or so.
Man, I’m in an odd spot. I like to use subdued colors BUT sometimes really bright colors. I want to get better with colored pencils AND gouache AND digital at the same time AND get better at combining them. I don’t really know which direction to go.
Just gotta draw more.
A little doodle of my best friend* John Roderick of The Long Winters and the astoundingly wisdom-packed podcast Roderick on the Line!

First thing I did in Illustrated Notebook.
It’s fun! We get to deface books! This is the cinema of Dirk Bogarde, a British actor I’ve never head of.
The assignment is “afterlife” so I’m inventing a sort of cult pantheon and imagining what their idea of the afterlife would be like. These are the gods, Father, Uncle, Captain and Presidente.
I’ve been doing it all with colored pencil on acrylic, which is workin out pretty well.
Fun fact: Peter is the evil version of me
