Here, you’ll find:

• Behind-the-scenes insights into how I structure my graphic novels, from storyboarding in Clip Studio Paint to polishing pages in Photoshop and Illustrator.

• And soon, live shows and chats, where we can tackle artistic challenges together and share creative breakthroughs in real time.

My goal is simple: to demystify the creative process and help you take your art to places you didn’t think possible—all while sharing a bit of the joy I’ve found along the way.

Halloween Monster Drawing Tutorial Videos in Adobe Illustrator

Are you ready to create your own Halloween monster designs? Join me on my YouTube channel for a series of tutorial videos where I show you how to draw spooky and fun characters in Adobe Illustrator. With the help of my Wacom Cintiq and Autodesk SketchBook Pro software, you can follow along and learn how to sketch, ink, and color your own vector art.

In the first video, I will teach you digital sketching techniques using Autodesk SketchBook Pro. We will create a basic rough sketch that will serve as the foundation for our Halloween characters. Then, in the next three videos, we will take our rough sketch and move on to inking the lines for the Jack-O-Lantern pumpkin, the witch/vampire lady, and the werewolf character in Adobe Illustrator. Finally, in the fifth video, I will give you a behind-the-scenes look at how I color my vector artwork in Adobe Illustrator using flats, shading, and gradients.

These tutorial videos are perfect for beginners who want to learn how to draw in Adobe Illustrator or for experienced artists who want to sharpen their skills. You can follow along with me step-by-step, and if you have any questions or comments, you can leave them in the comments section on my YouTube channel. Don’t forget to like my Facebook page to stay up to date with my latest projects and videos.

Thank you for watching my tutorial videos. If you’re interested in working with me, you can visit my website to see more samples of my artwork. Let’s create something amazing together!
