Colors

Though I'm most at home in ink and grayscale, color offers another language—and I speak it fluently. This collection highlights pieces rendered in colored pencils, all rooted in strong values and cinematic design.

These works lean into pop culture reimagined through my lens. Striking, familiar figures filtered through mood and intention. Color isn't just decoration here—it's story.

These pieces are drawn on Canson 140lb watercolor paper. Each began with a black ink wash to establish values and directional lighting before color entered the scene.

The two women belong to a series of Twitch live streams where I taught the community about value control and working within a single hue.

The center piece is my interpretation of Frozone, created for the #battleofthesketches challenge. I aimed to place him in a more mature comic book setting—lean, cinematic, and full of momentum. Each work here is colored using Prismacolor pencils, blended with Gamsol for smooth transitions and depth.

The works below are rendered on Legion Stonehenge Aqua Coldpress Black 140lb paper—a surface that demands precision. They begin with white ink underpainting to carve out light and volume, followed by layers of Prismacolor and Gamsol blending. A note for fellow artists: this paper absorbs liquid rapidly. Saturate your brush well for smoother blending. You can catch progress shots from some of these pieces in the Process section of my portfolio.
