All Work and No Play

It's been a while since I've been able to paint clouds. Time is a luxury for me as I now have three jobs: I work Monday to Friday with case-goods design for hospitality, I teach art Saturday and Sunday, and I do freelance on the side when I get home from those jobs. It took me a couple of months just to finish this little digi-painting. It's been hard, but those student loans gotta get paid...

I take PCH everyday to go to work. It takes me longer than going on the 405, but I prefer it because I get to see the ocean. The other day I took off from home earlier than usual, so I had time to stop and make a quick iPhone sketch.

                

iPhone Clouds

Painting with my phone helps me keep things general since I tendency to render the crap out of my drawing. I've been making a huge effort lately to use bigger strokes, work faster and let go of perfectionism. It's been difficult, but it has also been quite liberating.

Still Alive

These past months have been ultra hectic at work leaving me with very little time to draw. I did manage to doodle a bit during Thanksgiving break...

Cloud Doodles

I made these on my iPhone using Procreate. Such a neat little app!

Doodling with The Sensu Brush

Recently I've been having fun playing around with the Sensu Brush and Procreate in my iPad. These are a couple of the abstractions I've doodled so far.
