What are you guys up to these days? What do you practice? What do you add to your portfolio etc?

Me, I am drawing vehicles and horses right now. And it terms of style I would like to push some of my oldest pieces again for. I still like them, but they lose so much when finished. #MEsketch #MEart

I am back from 4 days at the games fair in Bologna, Italy.
For Mancalamaro/ Iello I was signing the new King of Tokyo Godzilla game, drawing sketches as hand outs and just enjoying my first time in Italy. What a great time. #MEsketch #Godzilla #art

Some Studies and line art practices.
I wanted to make him more dwarf like in proportions. The first is more like a Lotr dwarf, the second like a Paul Bonner Dwarf. #MEsketch #art

A study in the style of something I used to do more often:
Brown paper, orange or brown base sketch, pencil over it and white pencil as a finish. #MEsketch
I am trying to take some inspiration from Justin Gerard, while searching for me own approach.

Whenever I find a brush setting that just feels right, I get easily exited. I am also getting back into daily sketching and studies. I love the drawings by Even Mehl Amundsen and want to improve my poses, flow and lines too. #MEsketch #clipstudio

A little WIP to show my process. This is the design I picked for my "Mind bender" Magic the gathering (fan art) card redesign. I don't have a lot of facial shots in my portfolio, so this fills that gap too. I used Clip studio to create a basic light reference. #MEsketch #mtg #wip #art

Since my Mind bender card is so old, I went back to thumbnails and see what comes up. I want to keep the idea of the magical chain in some way though. Most with enslaved creatures around the sorceress. E is different as we see the face of a king being enslaved. But that might not be clear. #MEsketch

I want to redo the Queen La piece. Something in the perspective just didn't sit well with me. So here we go again. Aiming for a bit more dramatic angle. For some reason, I always struggle with legs. #Disney #MEsketch #Lorcana #art

A grayscale sketch for Queen La. For some reason, angles like this where we look up a bit, give me trouble. I am still a bit concerned about the composition and how it all goes to the stone arc on the left. #art #disney #fanart #MEsketch
