After two busy weeks I finally wrapped up this drawing. I’m really happy with it! Time to move to the computer and work on color. . . . . . #gavingrayvalentine #draw #drawing #sketch #pencilsketch #sketchbook #pencildrawing #traditionalart #originalart #originalcharacter #instaart #art #fishing #oregon #pdxartist #portlandartist #wip
Some mushroom weirdos. I’ve been feeling under the weather for like 3 weeks so I’ve been playing some Breath of the Wild. These are inspired by the Koroks. . . . . . #gavingrayvalentine #draw #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #pencilsketch #pencildrawing #traditionalart #originalart #originalcharacter #instaart #art #mushroom #fungi #funguy #pdxart #portlandart #portlandartist

After I find the thumbnail I like I do a few studies like this waterfall. Even though it’s a background element I want to have a plan before going into the final drawing. . . . . #waterfall #ramonafalls #art #pencil #draw #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #pencilsketch #pencildrawing #traditionalart #originalart #instaart #wip #portlandart #portlandartist #pdxart
Thumbnailing some ideas for a new piece. I’m still deciding what direction to go in, so I might do some more. I really like the idea of a slice of life in a fantastical world. . . . . . #gavingrayvalentine #draw #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #pencilsketch #pencildrawing #traditionalart #originalart #originalcharacter #instaart #art #thumbnails #wip #fishing #portlandart #portlandartist
Mothman It wasn’t the first time I saw it. Years ago it appeared, warning of the calamity to come - but I didn’t listen. Dread welled up in me as I tried to understand its intention. It wasn’t the first time I saw it, but it might be the last. . . . . #cryptid #mothman #art #digitalpainting #originalcharacter #painting #fantasyart #fantasyartist #creepy #darkart #gavingrayvalentine #instaart #creature #originalart
Often times my journey as an artist has felt like fumbling through the dark - only getting a glimpse of light that tells me I’m headed in the right direction. GenCon was a bright shining moment. It was wonderful to see all of my art family and meet so many wonderful new people. I am honored by the support for my art and I can’t wait to get back to work. . . . . . . #gencon
