Frozen Elsa

I saw Disney's Frozen recently and fell in love with it. I had to draw Elsa from it.

Howl and Sophie

A quick warm down sketch for the night of Howl and Sophie from Howl’s Moving Castle. Pretty much did it for my friend who loves this movie.

Midnight Owl

A couple of comic pages based on an old dream.

Dragons

Another Children's Illustrations I did featuring Dragons.

Peter and Wendy

An Illustration I did of Peter Pan and Wendy with a water-colored look.

Into the Woods

Here's a black and white illustration I did of a girl and her friend.

Sisters

An illustration based on my sister Sadie and I when we were kids. We'd play with Barbies and My Little Pony's all the time.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice

This is an illustration based on the poem "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" in my vision.

I wanted to bring to life the brooms with something more than just animation so I added the light effect with the swirls to bring more magic to the scene.
The color palette is mostly muted except for the brooms which hold contrasting colors to create more separation from the depicted world shown.

Illustration for a book idea.

Mirror Mirror

This is another illustration from my series entitled "Investigation of a Fairy Tale". It's a retelling of Snow White as a murder set in the Victorian Era. An unknown woman was found dead on the cobblestone street with what appears to be an apple in her outstretched hand.

I wanted to do my interpretation of the old school fairy tale painting techniques.

The Little Mermaid Tutorial

 Click Images for a larger view.

I came across the old folder of my Little Mermaid Illustration and noticed I saved iterations of my steps. This means I can do a tutorial. Yay!
It's rare I'll document my progress in my illustrations because I'm extremely lazy to take 2 seconds to save out images.
I tried to cover exactly what I did on this piece and my normal tendencies for Illustrations.
I hope this explains it well.

Also here is a list of the major brushes I use in my art (mostly Illustrations). These are Painter specific brushes (not Photoshop).
I'm pretty basic when it comes to painting. I haven't used any photo texture specific stuff yet. I have used an overall canvas texture to complete a few pieces, but apart from that I wield the normal painter brush for majority of things.
I work in Photoshop or Painter or both. I draw everything by hand traditionally and scan into the programs to work from there. The brushes are the best things I've come across! I urge you to try/implement these awesome gems!

If you have any further questions or need clarification please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks!
