Hey everybody, I’ve posted a new process video on my youtube channel which shares my process for creating Nynaeve al’Meara for the upcoming Wheel of Time Tv Series. I’ve really been enjoying creating fan art around the cast of the show.
In this video I share my process of creating a portrait of Moiraine Damodred. Aes Sadai of Tarvalon as played by Rosamund Pike in the upcoming series produced by Amazon Prime TV. The struggles to see correctly continue. But I do feel like I’m growing in my ability to draw and paint portraits. Procreate is…

During a recent conversation I had with my very talented wife about talent, skill level and completing projects, she made a comment that made me think about this topic. (See her work on her instagram account here) One thing you need to know about my wife is that…
Hey everyone! Last year I decided to try my hand at creating some superhero fan art. I started with none other than the fastest man alive. The Flash. Moved onto the Green Arrow and just recently finished Supergirl. I personally think that the actors, Grant Gustin, Stephen Amell and Melissa Benoist have been very well…
