Hello Art-family!
I recently hand painted a series of covers for the comic series Usagi Yojimbo by Stan Sakai. They recently announced a release date for the story "Usagi Yojimbo: Ice and Snow" and I thought it would be fun to do a live session where I paint one of the covers that Mr. Sakai didn't end up using.
Through the demo I will talk about working with Mr. Sakai, steps and processes, composition, color, mixing, atmosphere and drawing. Hope you'll tune in!
Hey! Paint along if you want to! I uploaded the linework for the unused cover on my patreon:
patreon.com/jaredlovestodraw
The line art is free but I will be using the patreon to give updates on my upcoming books I've written and am currently illustrating.
Bring your paintbox, put on a Kurosawa film to get in the mood and lets paint this awesome Samurai rabbit created by Stan Sakai.

Hey Art-family,
This is just a quick video showing my recently designed and built watercolor box. Its made of Nickel Silver and Common Brass. Its a spin on the box that James Fletcher Watson uses in his film, Magic of Watercolor which has taught me so much of what I know about watercolor. I figured I could carry a piece of my hero with me and also make something that I can someday pass to my children. Thanks, as always, for watching. See you in the next video.
Heres the video on making brass boxes:

I am NOT a professional- but there are pros who make these boxes. I dont make them for sale because its too time consuming and Id have to quit painting. Also- I have limited tools and dont really know what Im doing haha.
Happy sketching,
Jared
