In 2022, I went from only having ever doodled as a kid to learning to draw. I had a blast and it really freed up the looseness in all of my creative practices (including software!) Here is my journey documented. You can read my reflection on Lessons From A Year of Drawing here and painting here. .

The week in sketches!

Braving the world of gestural figure drawing. And still wrangling the digital pen.

Sketches from this week!

Went to Reef-a-palooza with my folks this last weekend! Like anime conventions, but for coral and clownfish (and there was a cosplayer!)

Started watching an MST3K classic — Cave Dwellers!

Still doing loads of gestures. This new-fangled digital pen takes some wrangling!

And, lastly, I'm braving my own album art illustration! This guy will be making an appearance:

I give one listen to the Jet Set Radio Soundtrack, and now I get some funny 90s hip hop inspired ditties in my recomendations. Not bad!

Been doing lots of gesture drawing digitally to help get used to the pen. It's a surprising jump from traditional to wacom!

Lastly, I'm sorry to say that Anthony Clark bore the horrible news: #Warioctober has arrived.

I regret to inform you that today is the beginning of #Warioctober , where everyone, be they just or wicked, must honor the terrible creature Wario. Here is Classic Wario. May we be forgiven for what we must do. pic.twitter.com/i99DQTjToR
