Style








My art style has been very inconsistent lately (or always really, lbr) --which may or may not bother some people.  I'm a little all over the place with everything in my life to be honest. I just like trying new things! I'm inspired by so many different artists and like to pull a little inspiration from all of them all the time. I treat almost everything I do as more of a study than a real project.

I'm also almost too consistent with my style at work. I'm doing children's illustrations all day, every day which I love but it can be very repetitive so I kind of mix it up when I'm just doing my own personal doodles.

The reason I'm even bothering to make a whole post about this at all is because I've realized when I'm looking at other artists and they have this hodgepodge of work I get kind of irrationally annoyed with it. I just think to myself, "Oh I love this so much, why couldn't all your stuff look like this??" I have no idea if I'm the only weird one here who feels like this or if other people feel the same way. I'm soooo guilty of having such drastically different things all the time though!

So if you're bothered by other artists inconsistencies (including mine) I just wanted to let you know I am too! But I doubt I'll be changing anytime soon. I need variety in my life!! But if you're already enjoying my consistently inconsistent style then carry on and keep enjoying!


Feeling nostalgic






Feeling nostalgic and like trying something a little different at the same time! This is the result.

Texture happy





Just doing a texture study mostly so I went a little texture happy! I need to do more texture studies honestly. So many other artists are using textures far superior to me so I need to fix that!
