Childhood Week 2018
A prompt and a childhood memory every day for this summer challenge. I enjoyed this and got a lot of positive response, especially for the panel featuring my dad.

Mermay 2018 Gallery 2
My first MerMay! In 2018, I was still very new to drawing digitally and this challenge really helped me practice, especially textures. NSFW because I do not believe in modesty shells! The last two weeks of the month:

Inktober 2017 Gallery 2
I overachieved in 2017 and combined the official Inktober prompt list with the Dralloween prompts of artist Mab Graves. I kept it all in my sketchbook and brought back a few of the characters from previous years to have some fun with their development. Sketches and references shown. The last half of the month:

Sharkopedia
In August of 2017, I tried drawing daily sharky info pages in my sketchbook. This was an ambitious goal and I ran out of steam after just four sharks! I’d love to pick this project back up again and make a proper sharkopedia — someday!
Inktober 2016 Gallery 2
I wasn’t feeling the prompts for any of the Halloween Challenges in 2016, so I came up with my own list. I also went back to a purely hand drawn challenge, working with microns and Pitt Pen markers in a battered Moleskine sketchbook. I loved this year — some fun, tiny toons resulted. The last half of the month (apparently I missed Day 21: Enchanted Edible… ?):

Drawlloween 2015
A sample of the more presentable pieces from Drawlloween 2015. This was my first time participating in a major art challenge! I was very much trying to find a balance between hand drawn sketchbook doodles and a fun version of the more polished vector work I’d done as a professional designer. The results are very uneven, but still lots of fun and hey, everyone starts somewhere! This challenge pre-dates the iPad Pro by a month — I was still drawing in Photoshop with the pen tool using my laptop trackpad. This challenge gave me some characters I used again in later years, like my Amulet Witch.
The Sketchbook Project 4
My most complete and coherent contribution to the Brooklyn Art Library’s collection of sketchbooks. Maybe this one is so much better than the others because the theme was SHARKS! Y’think? 😀
