Pencil Portraits and Sketches from 2012

This cute little guy was about 1 (one) inches wide by 1 (one) inches tall when I drew him. Nailed it!

Again, anotehr tiny pencil sketch portrait, inspired by the Skyrim forsworn characters.

This blindfolded portrait was slightly altered digitally.

Pencil sketch of a mug, was just trying to get the lighting right.

Last but not least, this was anotehr tiny sketch, inspired by the game Magika. If you haven't tried this game, the OG one, I highly recommend it. Lots of fun!

Pencil sketch of one of my favorite video game characters. Made in 2012, kuppo!

Eye Sketch

Birds do it. Bees do it. And sometimes we all do it... Drawing an eye that is! Photoshop sketch from 2014.

Witchblade Sketch 2009

Pencil sketch from 2009. I cut this out and meant to paint over it digitally but never got around to it.

Fire Mage

This is a character I designed sometime in 2009 as part of my Eternal Seven story. The drawing has been touched up multiple times since the initial sketch, to the point where I think it just needs a complete rework.

Arctic Foxtail Prompt

This was a drawing for a creature called the Arctic Foxtail, a prompt from Justin Gerard on his Twitch Stream. Ink sketch which was painted over in Photoshop quickly. These went into the #letsdrawmonsters category.

The original sketch, this was done sometime in February 2021.

Wingless Dragon - Tattoo Design

This sketch was done as a request from one of my friends that wanted this as a tattoo design, not sure it actually made it to someone's skin. All done in Photoshop, sometime in February 2021.

Naked without my Sword

This was one of my best years for art. I really feel like I got a good sense of controlling my pencils and this here drawing is one of my favorite examples of that. No refs were used.

Magus

This drawing of a Mage character was done for one of the Character of the Week challanges at conceptart.org sometime in early 2010. Pencil sketch painted over in Photoshop.

Desolation

Ink sketch from 2022, slight updates in Photoshop.

Elf Girl with a Sword

This was done sometime in 2010.

The original sketch was done in Linux and The GIMP software. At the time I was looking for alternatives to Photoshop. I don't know why, but since the moment I've started using Photoshop I keep looking for alternatives, and while some software packages are promising, I always keep going back... In the end I did bring it into Photoshop to polish up, but it was a year of weird experiments and this was one of them.

Portrait from 2012

This is a pencil portrait of a woman made in 2012, a reference was used but I don't remember of who. The portrait was modified in Photoshop later, and you see a digital/pencil blend here.

Ogre Killer

This is a pencil sketch done in 2009. I honestly don't think I've ever shared it online until now, because I intended to paint over it... that may still happen but it's been about 15 years and I haven't gotten around to it!

Gone Fishing

I was trying to learn to paint water with this painting, made in Photoshop, sometime in 2012.

Zalei Ironhand

This is the original, first art, of a character from the Eternal Seven story. The concept has since been refined, but I love this old pencil drawing made sometime in 2006. Color is a simple overlay done in Photoshop.
