Scroll! Now vs 2013, plus a time lapse video. I kinda like these, even if I’m not quite sure what 2013 me was trying to accomplish with the outfit on the left.. made with @procreate! This was fun! #Repost @kevinpetersonillustrator ・・・ 2013. Still doing the simple facial expressions thing. I do like that big hair and the outfits, and some of the expressions. I could see myself refreshing these. #art #illustration #drawing #draw #artist #sketch #sketchbook #paper #artsy #instaart #beautiful #instagood #gallery #masterpiece #creative #instaartist #artoftheday #model #cuteart #cute #kevinpetersonillustrator #kevinpetetsonart #kevinpeterson #procreateapp #ipadpro #thighhighsocks #hair #jeanskirt #digitalart

A woman had the literal best princess hair I’ve ever seen and didn’t get the chance to show her so.. #art #illustration #drawing #draw #artist #sketch #sketchbook #paper #artsy #instaart #beautiful #instagood #gallery #masterpiece #creative #instaartist #artoftheday #model #cuteart #cute #kevinpetersonillustrator #kevinpetetsonart #kevinpeterson #hair #princesshair #longhair #curls

#artvsartist2019 Here’s a few of my recent favorites that I feel didn’t get enough love and pieces I’m still (slowly) working on. I tried to pick as many favorites as possible. #art #illustration #drawing #draw #artist #sketch #sketchbook #paper #artsy #instaart #beautiful #instagood #gallery #masterpiece #creative #instaartist #artoftheday #model #cuteart #cute #kevinpetersonillustrator #kevinpetetsonart #kevinpeterson #digitalart #iphonex #ipadpro #procreateapp

How about some somber February artistic poetry? Here is someone who at this time I adored more than anyone else, someone I loved, someone I was in love with, someone I will never see again. For all of the reasons, both good and bad, heartbreaking and realistic. Someone once so important, now reduced to a series of photos, letters, and one sided Facebook posts. And yet here, here in this drawing, here is everything that was wholesome and pure and beautiful about that brief moment in time. Clean, innocent, and simple, uncluttered of fights and words said that cannot be unsaid. When you ignore or overlook the logistics and the reality of the situation. Where all you see is pure unfiltered love. Sometimes they’re just drawings, sometimes they’re strangers passing through my life, and sometimes they’re stories. But sometimes, they’re a piece of my life and soul. From an art and construction standpoint, this was drawn at the Caribou Coffee, in downtown Denver. I was looking though the Art of Frozen book and those Brittney Lee (and other names I can’t remember) Anna designs. Hey, thanks for indulging me. #art #illustration #drawing #draw #artist #sketch #sketchbook #paper #artsy #instaart #beautiful #instagood #gallery #masterpiece #creative #instaartist #artoftheday #model #cuteart #cute #kevinpetersonillustrator #kevinpetetsonart #kevinpeterson #disneyanimationinspired #disneydesigninspired #love #breakups #etc

This wonderful picture of my mom that I’ve never seen before was posted to the Evanston Township High School, class of 1970, in memoriam page. Despite making me immediately cry, it’s such a joyful picture, that it also makes me happy. @ethswildkits

It’s the 60th anniversary of Sleeping Beauty, the most artistically perfect of all the original Walt films. Story wise it’s a broken clunky disaster, due to them spending so much time and money and making the animation perfect (and Walt spending so much much money on something called Disneyland), which is why the ending just sort of happens (and characters suddenly stop talking). None of that matters because the Eyvind Earle and Mary Blair designs are perfect. The duel animation of Aurora and Maleficent by Marc Davis is superb and jaw dropping gorgeous . Everything fits in the perfectly constructed world, thanks to the tireless cleanup and ink and paint department painstakingly making sure no line is to thick or too thin. It’s also the only Disney film to feature work by legendary Looney Tunes animator Chuck Jones as well as the first film work of the equally legendary Don Bluth. And we get Frank and Ollie’s delightful fairies. One the greatest moments in my life was getting to hold an actual production background painting, which were produced ultra wide for the CinemaScope theatrical projection. The film was a box office bomb, not making a profit until the 1980’s (30 years later), combined with Disneyland, it almost bankrupted the studio and caused a massive scale back in how animation was produced, resulting in animation that wasn’t as lush, but had more character. Comparing Beauty to the next film, Dalmatians is like different eras, even though only two years passed between them. A dissection of that film’s animation is a story for another day. #art #illustration #drawing #draw #artist #sketch #sketchbook #paper #artsy #instaart #beautiful #instagood #gallery #masterpiece #creative #instaartist #artoftheday #model #cuteart #cute #kevinpetersonillustrator #kevinpetetsonart #kevinpeterson #sleepingbeauty #napqueen #princessaurora #aurora #marcdavis #disneyanimation #animation

Did I make a good thing bad? I don’t know? Maybe? Now vs 2013. New @sketchwallet square medium. #nowandthen #thenandnow #nowvsthen #thenvsnow #hair #flowerhair #Repost @kevinpetersonillustrator ・・・ 2013. I don’t hate this. I wish I had a version of this that wasn’t washed out by a hipstagram filter. Wait that’s not what the app was called.. Hipstamatic. Is that still a thing? #art #illustration #drawing #draw #artist #sketch #sketchbook #paper #artsy #instaart #beautiful #instagood #gallery #masterpiece #creative #instaartist #artoftheday #model #cuteart #cute #kevinpetersonillustrator #kevinpetetsonart #kevinpeterson

Another #thenandnow this time I took a not very great drawing from 2013 and redrew it as basically, @aquaamarina, it’s totally her hair and dress so.. This might not be a regular feature because yesterday’s took three minutes and this took all day and I’m not even posting ALL of the versions. Swipe left to see the variations. 1 - might be my favorite and includes a way do looking stage left in a better way than the original, 2 - is okayyy, 3 - the original, and 4 - some sketches when I was trying to do the side eye thing to make it work.. it did not. #Repost @kevinpetersonillustrator ・・・ This might be the perfect place to start doing some then and nows. I have about 15 drawings that are.. almost good.. but not quite? From 2013, a series of drawings where everyone is looking to the right (stage left) for some reason. #art #illustration #drawing #draw #artist #sketch #sketchbook #paper #artsy #instaart #beautiful #instagood #gallery #masterpiece #creative #instaartist #artoftheday #model #cuteart #cute #kevinpetersonillustrator #kevinpetetsonart #kevinpeterson #badart #stageleft #nowandthen

I thought I’d start doing now and then updates of some of these older drawings from my art account (where I currently post one drawing a day in as close to chronological order as I can approximate) that weren’t quite there yet, and see if I’m better. I was going to start with a different drawing, but then I remembered that one of my Denver Writes writers always calls me out for only drawing women. And when I said, “I grew up on Disney all I know how to draw is princesses and animals,” he said, “I might be a child but I do understand what excuses are.” Okay he didn’t say that.. but the look he gave me said everything. So I’m going to prove that I’m not just a one note artist. I’m a two note artist. Differences that I can tell, the characters are rounder and softer, and a lot less surly and angry. Except the cat. He’s sleepier. Happens. #Repost @kevinpetersonillustrator ・・・ 2013. The usual gang. Everyone’s favorites together again. #art #illustration #drawing #draw #artist #sketch #sketchbook #paper #artsy #instaart #beautiful #instagood #gallery #masterpiece #creative #instaartist #artoftheday #model #cuteart #cute #kevinpetersonillustrator #kevinpetetsonart #kevinpeterson #nowandthen #thenandnow #cat🐱 #bear🐻 #penguin🐧

I’ve loved every variation of the @sketchwallet, but I think the medium and smaller ones might be the best yet. The post-it sized sketchbooks are perfect. I’m not sure how long it’s going to take me to go through 8 new sketchbooks.. but here we are. #sketchwallet #sketchwalletmini

Thanks @sorchops for spending another birthday with me (and having the best birthday ideas), being the best best friend, and always picking out the craziest drinks, I honestly don’t know what I’d do without you. Special appearance by Lucy.

My favorite drawing of my very best friend, @sorchops! I love love love love love love this drawing. #art #illustration #drawing #draw #artist #sketch #sketchbook #paper #artsy #instaart #beautiful #instagood #gallery #masterpiece #creative #instaartist #artoftheday #model #cuteart #cute #kevinpetersonillustrator #kevinpetetsonart #kevinpeterson #mitsubishi10b #bun #messybun #bestie #bestiegoals

Okay. I’ll do this too. 2009/2019. Both pictures I had to crop out Casa Bonita friends (sorry Monica! sorry Sarah!). I also feel like I looked pretty fantastic yesterday and not enough pictures were taken to show that off.. 2009 was... well, awful. I lost a job that was the biggest part of my life up to that point, I lost a long term (however chaotic) relationship, I had to stop going to school, and I changed my entire life and living arrangements to start taking care of my mom. I was fairly aimless and depressed. But it wasn’t all terrible, by the end of the year I had already started making new friends (and old friends) and making positive steps to get me to now. Cut to now, and I just walked out of the wreckage of what was the most traumatic year of my life... but still, I’m doing pretty okay. I started making friends again, like actual friends (some of them men!), and even better I think I’m finally passed the point of spending 90% of the time needing constant reassurance that we are in fact, actually friends. Oh and next week, I get to bring my new job to that old job.

The delightful return of not just my favorite character (and the BEST Robin), Tim Drake, but also Impulse (as he should be), Superboy and Wonder Girl in all their modern 90’s glory, alongside new characters like Teen Lantern, who has the best line about her own silly name. Fun @brianmbendis dialogue and zippy @patrickgleasonstudio art make an all around delightful comic.

I love this sketch of @sorchops so much that I needed to post it immediately and not wait until I finish the full color version! Sorcha is, of course, my best friend and favorite person in the world so she gets the best and most drawings! #art #illustration #drawing #draw #artist #sketch #sketchbook #paper #artsy #instaart #beautiful #instagood #gallery #masterpiece #creative #instaartist #artoftheday #model #cuteart #cute #kevinpetersonillustrator #kevinpetetsonart #kevinpeterson #bestie #favorite #mitsubishi10b #sketchplanner

Okay. Drawing 3 for @daniellematen_ I originally planned to do a post with all of the New Years drawings I’ve done for her over the last four years but realized I missed two years ago and than last year I never finished the drawing I started last year! So! Here we are! More sparkles! More glitter! More @procreate #art #illustration #drawing #draw #artist #sketch #sketchbook #paper #artsy #instaart #beautiful #instagood #gallery #masterpiece #creative #instaartist #artoftheday #model #cuteart #cute #kevinpetersonillustrator #kevinpetetsonart #kevinpeterson #digitalart #ipadart #ipadpro2018 #procreate #procreateapp #applepencil2 #sparklesparkle

The second of my @daniellematen_ NYE posts. I like this. It feels very first draft. It looks too stiff and too.. traced (it is) and doesn’t really represent what I can do as an artist and it certainly doesn’t represent how gorgeous and elegant my friend is. What I do like was how I used @procreate’d blur effects to truly bring out the NYE sparkles of the outfit which I’ve doubled down on for the next two drawings (hey listen, you KNOW I love sparkles!) #art #illustration #drawing #draw #artist #artsy #instaart #beautiful #instagood #gallery #masterpiece #creative #instaartist #artoftheday #model #cuteart #cute #kevinpetersonillustrator #kevinpetetsonart #kevinpeterson #digitalart #ipadart #ipadpro2018 #procreate #procreateapp #applepencil2 #sparkles #glitter #favorite

Here’s a sneak peak of something I’m working on based on the NYE look of my favorite person in the world, @daniellematen_ (aka my biggest and most supportive art fan, ever) AND a something I did for her 3 years ago! I feel like I haven’t done anything new or special for her in forever.. so now I have three posts wroth of new finished pieces coming up! #art #illustration #drawing #draw #artist #sketch #paper #artsy #instaart #beautiful #instagood #gallery #masterpiece #creative #instaartist #artoftheday #model #cuteart #cute #kevinpetersonillustrator #kevinpetetsonart #kevinpeterson #digitalart #ipadpro #ipadart #mitsubishi10b #procreate #procreateapp #applepencil2 #timehop
