Some cloud studies before drawing them on the final draft since I’m really bad at drawing them. Experimenting with different styles I’ve seen in woodcut prints to see which style I like best.

Golden Skeleton

I drew this skeleton with metallic gold ink and I gotta say I’m really impressed at how it turned out. Bye bye gold marker!

I won a pirate flag art contest over on Reddit r/pirates, and my flag will temporarily be the subreddit and discord server’s profile picture!

I noticed I haven't really done any standard drawing of a pirate, so here's the guy.
