Meandering river valley in gouache. I like using a lil impasto technique with my gouache. Not the same as oil obviously, it still fun. #gouache #impasto #nopleinnogain #painting #traditionalart #art #illustration #landscapepainting #visdev #landscape

A retroactive #scbwiartober2026 day 9: Home. I’m influenced by my favourite kind of spooky, which is “just spooky enough for kids!” I can’t handle proper horror movie stuff at ALL. #art #kidlit #illustration #sketch #sketchbook #digitalart #childrensbook

A child stares at a tiny chimney emerging from the ground. Underneath the earth, the chimney is connected to an underground dwelling with multiple rooms, a chair, a cookstove, pots and pans, and a candle.

#scbwiartober2026 day 10: Vestige. A fun word for spooky season! I’ve been informed we’re calling it “Kentober” this year? I’m just catching up on these now, as I’ve been working on my portfolio all week! #kidlit #childrensbook #illustration #art #digitalart

A haunted-looking museum director or archeologist type with a monocle presents a pile of bones featuring a skull, a broken shield, a goblet, and a sword. The skull’s eyes subtly glow, looking toward the museum director.

Scammers really don’t like it when you direct them to the literal easiest option that just happens to run through a payment processor with a fraud department #art #scam #artbiz

Scammer:
Hi, I'm interested in purchasing one of your art pieces. Please get back to me when you can. Thank you!

I didn’t find out about #scbwiartober2026 until today — the day that I wrapped up putting together a kidlit illustration portfolio. I’ve been working tirelessly on these illustrations, but I may try to catch up on some prompts over the next few days! #art #illustration #kidlit #portfolio

Why do my digital drawings look so chaotic and natural? I scan my ink sketches, digitize them, and build layers of paint and digital ink from there. Notice jammed-together elements on some of my pages? Every inch of real estate in my sketchbook is used :) #art #digitalart #fountainpen #sketch

A scene of a family home backyard, where children climb a treehouse ladder and a dog happily barks. Inside the treehouse, almost filling the available room, is a giant robot reading a book.

The giant robot leads a perky dog across an old stone bridge while leaves blow in the autumn breeze.

Various loose black and white sketches of the dog and robot on a single sheet.

I don’t know if I should share my art online. If it makes 5 people happy, it’s a net positive, but if it makes 5 people happy and 2 AI slop farmers immediately feed it into the plagiarism machine, it might not be worth it. Thoughts? Anyway, working on this page #art #digitalart #sketch #kidlit

I’m having so much fun drawing lately. I need to do my graphic design work but all I want to be doing is putting together a children’s book illustration portfolio. #art #digitalart #traditionalart #mixedmedia #ink #sketchbook #illustration #fountainpen #inkdrawing #sketch #childrensbook

This is the slowest season for my illustration business, and I’m looking at the numbers for October and they’re…not great. If you have a project you need art for or want to commission me, it’d be massively felt in my household. IReposts appreciated, art tax below: callumisaac.art/portfolio/

I feel like my brain is overheating I’m so obsessed with this workflow. All of my favourite drawing styles just mashed together into one. I prefer traditional ink. I like digital painting but I HATE digital inking. I want color outside the lines. It’s all there. I’m gonna throw up it’s so good #art

Callum Isaac Moscovitch @callumisaac.art · 07/10/2026

Scanning my sketches and turning them into illustrations lately. There’s something about the inherent liveliness of ink scribbles that is compelling me to develop an entire workflow around them. #art #traditionalart #digitalart #mixedmedia #sketchbook #fountainpen #sketch

I study using a lot of gesture drawing, so I often start with pen, or if I’m using pencil I’ll use the faintest gestural lines. I find the landmarks of what I’m drawing carefully, then scribble and build shapes, often using overlapping ink lines.

Had to come home and sketch after my volunteer shift today. I’m really into fishing boats lately. I think it’s the influence of my girlfriend, who really likes it whenever I draw one. #art #digitalart #sketchbook #sketch #cats #fishingboat #blackandwhite #visdev

A bunch of giant squid tentacles pouring out of a fishing boat and onto the dock. A cat with a giant cleaver carves the largest tentacle, while a second cat with a wheelbarrow wheels away a bunch of smaller pieces. Black and white sketch.

She was telling me all about the wonders of AI while I sketched dogs right next to her. It didn’t occur to her that I was having fun, or even that I was doing something by hand (it was on the iPad). Kinda hand-wavy about art in a way I don’t encounter very often

Sketch /// Final. Finally starting to figure out a workflow on the iPad that feels like traditional inking, kinda. Doings these little ink thumbnails in my sketchbook makes a huge difference. #art #traditionalart #ink #fountainpen #procreate

I would open photos in Corel Painter (or maybe it was Corel Paintshop pro?) just to lift the watercolor layer and the export as a PSD to do my colours elsewhere. Reminds me of this meme: #digitalart #art

A robot, talking to Rick from Rick & Morty: “what is my purpose?”
Rick: “You lift the watercolor layer.”
Robot: “Oh god”

Drawn during illustration school in 2021. You can see I was figuring out my style in a big way. Some design elements, Moebius was FRESH in my mind, I was working in CMYK even for digital stuff… “Eden Creek” digital (I think sketchbook pro? RIP) #art #illustration

A child with a bedroll, backpack, and tall walking stick looks out over a river valley, above which a pyramid-like structure with multiple castle towers rising from it floats through the sky. A sign on the cliff above the valley says “Eden Creek” on it.

I’m designing a magic system that can be used for homebrew shit where you draw pictures as a method of spellcasting. You slowly build a grimoire of spells that worked. Working title, rough logo. Everything is rough at this stage! #ttrpg #magic #wizard #art

Sometimes a post of mine on threads (shudder) gets popular, and the only reason I realize is because men start replying with shit like this

There's also a subset of very educated people -also artists- who are cognizant of military research papers authored and accidental leaks over the years that paint a picture of the driving forces behind the algorithm so many worship. And then we ask ourselves- is engaging anyone on a network that you've never met irl actually worth the risk of accidentally landing into a network like the one Eglin AFB was using for research?

No. Most real artist say no at the recognition of evil.

Painting house portraits (or portraits of any kind, really) is the biggest art hack because people are just paying you to do gouache or oil studies. Feels illegal. #gouache #houseportrait #art #traditionalart #painting

#Maptober Day 4. Entrances to dungeons are fun to draw, because there’s truly no constraint except your own imagination. I love how encounters can be surprising at dungeon entrances. Our adventurers raid this tree for a simple treasure, but they get more than they ask for… #ttrpg #mapmaking #art

Working on my Maptober day 4 entry. Sneak preview below. Can you guess what it is? For the month of October, I’m drawing a TTRPG map or fantasy setting every day. Join me! There are potentially 2 or 3 of us. #maptober #maps #mapmaking #ttrpg #rpg #illustration #fantasy #fantasyart

One of the biggest questions an artist can ask is:
What do I want my life as an artist to actually look like?
Not just: What do I want to make?
Where do you live?
Who buys your work?
How often do you create?
What are you known for?
That vision matters.

Retroactive Maptober day 1. This month, I’m drawing a #ttrpg map or fantasy location every day for the whole month. Join me! At the end of the month, I’m hoping to have a downloadable collection of maps and locations to share. #mapmaking #fantasyart #mapdesign #landscapeart #fantasy

Maptober day 3. For the month of October, I’m drawing TTRPG maps and fantasy settings. No rules or guidelines beyond that. Join me! Today we have Scrungle’s Dung Transiguration School. #ttrpg #ttrpgmap #fantasyart #landscapeart #illustration

Scrungle’s Wizard School

Ostracized by the town officials, Scrungle the Wizard teaches advanced dung transfiguration in a tower at the outskirts of town.
Traveling wizards make pilgrimages to learn from Scrungle, who has in turn hired a barkeep and inn staff to house them.
Nobody in the town proper trusts his word or his coin, but to a certain kind of student of magic, Scrungle is a legend.

A shirtless man on threads, knowing absolutely nothing about what I’m designing (because I haven’t shared anything)

SrungyOddyseus:
I would focus on what art does to its observer versus the creator, figure out the locus of the image where one of two things can happen: because art is open to interpretation it could be in (in 5e) charisma for inspired thoughts and feelings which produce one effect. Then you can use intelligence or wisdom to actually figure out the intent of the artist and produce a different magical effect. It could be a thing where when one paints the same thing or observers it the magical effect changes.

Callumisaac.art:
This system is simpler. Suitable for play with kids.

Any TTRPG geeks wanna give feedback on a pictorial magic system? I’m really, really new to designing stuff but I have an idea. Even if I can just pick your brain briefly!! #ttrpg #games #magicsystem #rpg
