I am so excited to announce the first of hopefully many artbooks featuring Momocheet and the BeKyoot Crew! This first volume is 90 pages and measures 8"x8"! It is packed full of digital as well as traditional sketches and will be arriving just in time for Akon and also SDCC in July! I was so excited when I got the proof in the mail. There's not an easy way to describe something you've [...]
Wow! Two months are already gone in 2017! What have you accomplished on your list so far? After a couple bumps in the road, I am back to trucking through mine. I'm set to begin the BeKyoot site rebuild this month as well as start work on the sketchbook/artbook I'll have ready for SDCC. I am hooping to also sneak a BeKyoot illustrated ABC's book in there as well! :) You can follow my [...]
Happy New Year!!! It's hard to believe another year has come and gone, and now, the first month of 2017 is almost over! There are so many exciting things in the plans for BeKyoot in 2017, including a brand new website, and a new sketchbook of some of the most popular illustrations of the past year! We are also working on bringing new plushies to SDCC, enamel pins and new sticker sets! [...]
Merry Christmas! :) From all of us here at BeKyoot, have a blessed and joyful Holiday. <3
Back from another Fantastic SDCC Every year it seems SDCC comes and goes in a blur of incredible activity, and we're so grateful to be a part of it. :) This was our 8th year attending SDCC and was the best yet! The Momocheet Plushies were a huge success and she is on her way out to many different parts of the world! If you haven't picked one up yet, she is available for [...]
This is the Year of Berry and the BeKyoot Artbook! I have been working hard on finally finishing Berry's Story and getting a BeKyoot Artbook put together. I am aiming to release them at SDCC this year! Inside the artbook will be tutorials as well as a ton of new artwork. You can get a sneak peek at what will be inside by following me on Twitter and Insta! I post new drawings every [...]
A New Year Begins... I am so excited for 2016. This is the year Berry's Story finally gets finished. This is the year I release an art/sketchbook of my recent series of traditional illustrations. I am working on another update for the shop, and several new products. I plan to take down the Warehouse Sale and relaunch will all new designs, sooo...if you want to pick up some of the stuff that is on [...]
There are many ways to celebrate Christmas... And one of my favorite ways is with art. Since starting my daily sketches/paints in October, I've had a lot of fun developing my skills with copic markers and evolving as an artist. What better theme to work with than Christmas time? :) Below are several of the Holiday and winter themed illustrations I've done over the past few weeks. I hope you enjoy them as much [...]
You Draw, You Learn I've been learning a lot with my recent sketches. This batch is no exception. In the latter entries I started working with the gradient mesh tool and have quite a bit to absorb still. I want to make the scenes softer and find a good way to add more texture into each. I'll keep you posted on how that goes! An apple a day... School started recently, so I [...]
The Jelly Bunnies wanted to do something nice for Momocheet... So they went to fetch some cherries because they are one of her favorite fruits. :) Working together is second nature to Jelly Bunnies as they are so small. This sketch was really fun to do. I was experimenting with composition here and really enjoyed how the colors came out. Let's Go Fly a Kite... Some time ago I did another Momocheet [...]
I was trying to push myself with light and mood this week. The mission continues on and I'm continually challenging myself to try new things...to focus on strengthening different areas. It's an exciting game and I can't wait to see where art will take me this week. As for last week, here's the recap! Dandelion Fuzz Momocheet in a hazy meadow right near dusk. I had trouble getting the [...]
This past week was really exciting creatively. I've challenged myself to draw something new everyday. I am devoting an hour a day to finishing Berry's Story as well! Sometimes that favorite sweater is just what you need... And that is the reason that it's had a spot in your closet more set in stone than the castles in Europe. ;) The idea for this sketch came to me as I was holding mine, [...]
