Back at it again...

April 27, 2016

Well hello once again!

I have returned to update you with more updates that I have updated. Life has had me a bit crazed the last few months. I was in-between moving for a new job, continuing freelance, new apartment, new town, and getting engaged to the love of my life! I'm not complaining in any way. Those are the good kind of crazy things that happen. I feel blessed that life is going in this direction. It's been a wild road so far, and I have a feeling it will only get crazier, but I have a job to do and moving forward is what it's all about!

I've still been working on a ton of freelance projects for a ton of great people that I absolutely can't wait to share! Logos, posters, marketing pieces, photo shoots, and so much more. I definitely dropped the ball the last few months. However, I am back at it. I'm updating some stuff now and I promise there is some great things coming. Stay tuned for more updates!

Autodesk
Sketchbook Pro 6

The pencil and paper of the future

Sitting down and sketching is always a great idea. It gets all of your scrambled thoughts out and on paper. The great part about the pencil and paper is that it literally goes anywhere you do. Sketchbook Pro is a little more difficult to take along with you, but it is just as great a tool for getting those pesky creative bugs out of your brain. You don't necessarily need a Wacom tablet but it definitely feels more familiar if you do. Plus, nobody like drawing with a mouse! Sketchbook Pro has tons of different brushes, mimics a wide variety of mediums, and when set, responds to the pressure you put on the stylus. I absolutely recommend this program to the digital artist as a great illustration tool!

STAEDTLER
Mars Mechanical Pencils

Precision and detail these pencils do it all

This pencil is must have in the art arsenal. Not only can you switch out the lead with different types and softnesses but you can sharpen the lead to a extremely fine point for detailing which make them an extremely useful tool when cleaning up and tightening a graphite piece!

Prismacolor Markers

Serious color comes at a price.

I have been using prismacolor markers since I picked my first one up, which was about 13 years ago. I just fell in love with the color they give me. You can blend and shade like no other markers, and I absolutely love the double ended aspect. The only con is the price. They can get a little pricey, but take my word... you won't look back!

Staedtler Pencils

The TOOLS THAT GET THE JOB DONE.

I absolutely love these things! The lead lays perfectly. Whether I'm working with hard or soft lead, I can always count on these pencils for the quality I'm looking for. Although sometimes I find myself working with the little nubs that were once full length pencils, they never let me down. I have tried other name brands. But for the work that I do, these are the ones I recommend.
