New Spring Stickers!

Hey! 

I'd love to start showing you guys some rough sketches for projects I'm working on, and I've been thinking about what rewards you would like to see! I'm definitely going to start being consistent here and showing you behind-the-scenes stuff, so here are some sticker designs I'm working on!

I'm going to make a small process for how I get these sketches into the finalized stickers, so stay tuned for that! I deci...

March 2020 Sketchbook PDF

Hey lovelies!

Here is a collection of my Procreate and traditional drawings and paintings! I also included some of the work I do for my campus job as a designer; a lot of it consists of hand lettering as well as illustration. I thought it would be a cool part of my life to share with you guys! 

There are a lot of failed sketches in this batch, but I think it's good to show the ugly parts of my process as well. I create more fa...

Coloring Page Process

Here's the Procreate process for the quarantine coloring page! It's pretty satisfying to watch not gonna lie.

Let's Catch Up

Hi hi!

Long time no see; let's catch up on what's been going on with me, and then I want to hear about you guys!

First off, I was supposed to go to Charleston with my best friend Kayla for her birthday this spring break, but with Covid-19, we decided to go to her family's OBX beach house and quarantine ourselves and get some busy work done! It's less than ideal compared to what we had planned, and we didn't pack any heav...

Hey guys! Here's the Procreate timelapse for this month's limited edition postcard; let me know if you like seeing these short and quick Procreate videos or if you'd rather only see real-time painting process videos.

SUPER IMPORTANT: MESSAGE MEEEE

Please message me about what rewards you've been missing!!!!!!

I've been trying to refund you all for months that I neglected to send over rewards, but Patreon won't let me bulk refund per month, so I manually have to go in and refund each of you. SOMEHOW I always manage to let some patrons slip through the cracks, and neglect to refund. Could you message me and let me know which month/months I'm missing rewards for you, and I'll refund ...

September-October Assignments!

Hey guys!

Heeerrree are some of the projects that I made this month for school; I haven't included all of my photography assignments (every week we have 25 photos due and they're just not my best work-- if you want to see them in the future comment and let me know and I'll show them to you!), and I haven't put in my publication work (since I'm going to actually publish it and I don't want to put out the pdf of it.

"Strawberry Milk" Real-time Process Video

Hey guys! Here's the real-time process video for my latest painting "Strawberry Milk"! I've been trying to get better at painting deeper skin tones, and I chose an unlikely combination for the colors of this piece (pink and brown). I hope you guys enjoy seeing my workflow!

Update!!

Hey everyone!

I hope you all are having a good October; I'm here to talk about some stuff that's been going on with me recently!

I've had an insane time with school and I've barely had any time to breathe; I'm in all 400 level design classes and taking a full load of credits so I'm struggling to stay afloat. I'm sorry for not updating you guys!

I'll have two real-time process videos up hopefully by tomorrow, and I'...

I'm Back!

Hey guys! 

I'm FINALLY back on Patreon! I've had an insane couple of months, and I've been traveling a lot, dealing with anxiety, and figuring out my priorities when it comes to school, work, and relationships.

Let's start with the summer. 

   I went to Romania for three weeks with my best friend Kayla! She and I went on a school trip that counted towards our community service (still really expensive ...

Taking a little time off!

Hey guys! I'm just checking in to let you guys know I'll be gone to Romania until June 10th so I won't be able to post! I'll get back on Patreon later in August!! Thanks so much for your support!
I'll be sending out April rewards after my trip and I'll be putting in an extra postcard since I'll be sending them out late! Love you all!

April Sketchbook PDF

Hey guys! Here is this month's sketchbook PDF; I barely had any time to sketch this month, so I mostly worked on original sketch rewards and some drawings for Jacob Lee! Sorry for such a small PDF!

All the assignments I've been working on!!

Wordmarks-- What I worked on this morning; I had to create a restaurant logo and and designer logo for typography. If you're wondering about typefaces, I used Harriet bold for the Silver Spoon logo and Muchacho and Avenir for the Grimm design logo. This project is super big, but I've been finding typography kinda easy... ? My professor gives no feedback, but she's always satisfied with my work? No idea what grade I'll get in t...

Finals Week-- ask me some questions!

Hey guys! This month has been crazy; with the end of the semester coming up, I've been working on tons and tons of projects for school! My professors take their time with assignments at the beginning of the semester, and then they freak out and assign multiple projects at once by the end, so I've just been working on them like crazy! 

Realistically, I've been staying up nights to make my projects, and I spend my days reading and stu...

Stickers+ Update

Hey everyone!

So, I've been gone for so long, and I don't think I've been able to inform you of anything that has been going on with me recently! I definitely need to explain why I haven't send out rewards yet, and what you can expect!

Okay, first off-- for reasons that I will explain in just a bit, I'm super late on all your rewards, and I'm just now getting to order postcards and stickers, which should arrive to me and be shipped...

Sketchbook PDF- February

Hey guys! Here is this past month's sketchbook PDF; I have been really struggling with keeping up with personal art. I've been extremely stressed and tired, and it's been showing in my art. :(  I'm hoping this next month I can regroup and be more motivated, but anyway, enjoy seeing a lot of my messy doodles!
