Patreon Patrons
I have recently created a Patreon page, where I will be posting about my works-in-progress, and indeed sharing draft chapters as things move forward.
I want to express my deepest thanks to those who have joined the Gold Level of my noble Patrons.

Inktober 2019 – Getting Started
I’ve skipped doing the Inktober drawing exercises the last couple of years. But I decided to get back into it this year. Part of it was that I’ve just been wanting to do artwork of any sort, but hadn’t applied … Continue reading

CAPS (the Comic Art Professional Society) had its April meeting yesterday, and we had a live model sketch night. I should have taken a photo of our model, just for comparison. For me, such evenings are great, because I don’t … Continue reading

The Inktober project continues. Offering Number 4 is actually an exercise at drawing a character from my fantasy novel, The Ring of Adonel. His name is Fiád, and he is a member of a secondary rank of angelic beings in … Continue reading
Shading By Crosshatch
When it comes to pen-and-ink work, I often call myself the “Queen of Stippling.” All those little dots! But I find that I can often get a great deal of subtlety in shading with stippling. So yesterday for the Inktober … Continue reading
