How to Cafe Sketch | TUTORIAL
Hi Patrons! This month, I made an accompanying tutorial to this recent youtube video of me cafe sketching. I explain some key things I think about when I go people drawing and tips on how to think when you're out drawing.HOMEWORK: Grab your sketchbook and go draw! Draw each drawing with a different point in mind until you can start combining 2 tips together, and eventually be able to think about all 10 steps when drawing. Post your drawings o...
Cowgirls | WIP
just getting out of a stump i've been having by forcing myself to start a project for an upcoming video. once i got started and liked my shapes i started to have a lot of fun! here's some WIP screenshots of base colour and sketch with a little sneak peek at the end of the rendering style!
Monarch | FULL PAINT PROCESS
Full process video in real time of how I painted this recent piece!
New sticker designs!
Since i got a table at lightbox, i've been spending time developing new stickers! Some are expansions of old designs, but I also made a new design! What do you think? Process vid anyone?
Anatomy of a study | PROCESS EXPLANATION
Hi Patrons! Here's a new type of process explanation video. Here I explain the thought process of my recent cowboy study. Let me know if you find these 5 minute process videos helpful and maybe I'll make this a monthly series!
Wip dump 3
Came back from the Calgary stampede and I have a new obsession.
Wips
Been drawing a lot lately. Here are some works in progress. These are all fun doodles- some take 15 min to complete, others, an hour or so.
TUTORIAL POLL & REQUESTS
Hi patrons! I need some feedback. I've been creating tutorial pages, but I'd like to know if you'd prefer my current approach, ~5 page tutorial + homework, or if you'd prefer a tutorial in 7~10 minute video format. OR I'd love to hear if there's another format you prefer!I have difficulty creating monthly tutorials because often the subjects are BIG that need a lot of explanation. Please comment some requests on both a sma...

Wip dump
I’ve been making so much art lately I don’t even have time to post each individual wip or you’d get 8 notifications!
Life drawing study WIP // DISCORD EVENT
Spent some time today studying anatomy and dipping my toes back into figure drawing (even tho it's from still images don't @ me) because on June 30th my lovely moderators and I are hosting a life drawing event on the Discord! It's super low-key and just a space where we can chat and draw. I haven't done figure drawing in YEARS and I've only digitally life drew perhaps twice in my life. So time to shake that rust off!If you'...
REMOVING PRINT TIER | ANNOUNCEMENT
Hello lovely Patrons! My new discord is a WHOPPING success and I'm really excited to continue to cultivate a really supportive art community. That being said, I've decided to make a change.I'm removing the Print Tier. I loved my time for the past two (maybe three?) years making monthly prints. But the cost and effort don't add up anymore. Unfortunately, I don't have enough supporters on this tier to make it feasible to continu...
Colour experiment //wip
This drawing went in every direction. Recorded the process here. Shall I post the full video here?
Wip
Double post! Some more process on this piece. Fun experiment
Wip
Got my hands on one of Loish’s art books and now I got the colour bug. Trying some new techniques.

VOTE - June's monthly print
Hi folks! Thanks for your patience as I still have to announce this month's patreon print. I was a little stuck and so I thought to take it to you to decide on this month's print. Vote away!
High fashion but make it fish // wip
couple wips from my latest drawings and youtube video. if you haven't checked out the discord yet, i highly reccommend! we're sharing art, and a LOT of references for art and art education that I never had a place to share before!lso
Merm cover // wip
here's a wip of a painting that i got commissioned to create a cover on! can you guess which magazine i'll be featured in?
New Discord!
Hi lovely Patrons! After hearing everyone's thoughts, I created a new discord server exclusively for patrons! If your discord server is connected to your Patreon, you will automatically be added to the server- if you're not, be sure to do so in order to join. In this server, you'll be able to share artwork, share references, chat with other artists, and be able to participate in my Youtube videos.Let me know if you have any questions ...
Portrait study // wip
I was super pumped after yesterdays successful drawing but this one was real rough, I don’t know why it just sucks. The blues were really hard to capture here. I feel like darker skin tones are easier to paint for me because the way the light and shadows hit it easier, but you can’t hide with lighter skin tones. Hopefully this didn’t bum me out so much where I’ll drop drawing for a few weeks lol
Portrait study // wip
Do you remember what my portraits looked like last month? Incredible what a little elbow grease can do!! Left reference was from Pinterest to help guide me through the render.
Thinking about starting a Patreon Discord? // GIVE ME YOUR THOUGHTS!
Hi gang! I'm thinking of starting a discord for my patrons and me to create more of a learning and networking community. A place to share your homework from my tutorials, somewhere you can submit your art to be possibly reviewed in my youtube videos (right now, i'm experimenting with reviewing artwork in my #critiquemejackie hashtage on instagram, but i'd like to extend this just to patrons in the future), maybe even post challenges, ...
Caricaturing Faces for 1 Hour // PATREON EXCLUSIVE
Here's a long version of my youtube video that I'll be posting tomorrow. Please enjoy the extra drawings and the real-time footage! Watch out for an accompanying tutorial soon! :)
Sketching today
Some sketches from a sunny day at the park. These aren’t in order, but you can tell where I was warming up and where I felt like I was in a good place. Always fun to experiment with different shapes and push the types of people I see.
full process // STUDY
another long form video showing my entire process of a painting.
plein air process
finally having some time to make a plein air this month! i hope to make at least 5 to really start seeing if i'm improving. i cheated a bit by adding a character cause that's something in my comfort zone. maybe i'll continue adding characters tho cause i make my own rules
Full paint process // STUDY
spent most of this month painting portraits. this one was my favourite so far and i thought i'd share the full hour video of how i made it. i'll post more about these studies this month.
*NEW* CRITIQUE TIER ANNOUNCEMENT
Hi lovely patrons!I started this Patreon over 4 years ago when I was a much smaller artist with a lot less experience. Today, with over 660k followers across all platforms, my Patreon has also grown. That's why I have changed the price on my art critique tier and created new spots. It was unsustainable to continue my critiques at the price it was, and this will allow me to spend more time giving really helpful feedback to fellow artists!For t...
