Oksana's Faves

For Inktober, doing an occult theme this year.

I used to fish a fair amount, and when I did, I almost always used squid as bait. This was my submission for inktober's bait theme.

Scratchboard, 5x7”.

This is a watercolor still painting of a partial chess board with pieces.

Inktober Day 3: "Bait"

I'll tell you what's up... It's your hot lovah in a teacup. With a tattoo on his thigh because he's the kinda guy who will love you 'til the sun's up.

"I really don't like to gripe, But there's a monster in pink stripes, And he's lifting our house up to the sky. It's like what Mama always said, That we would all reach such great heights, But I suspect that's not quite what she meant."

"Robot Manflower." 8x8 ink and watercolor. New discovery: Noodlers 54th Massachusetts Ink (watered down) works incredibly well for painting shadows/value before the watercolor. Watercolor does not disturb that ink! Drawn with a Pilot Custom 743 EF with De Atramentis Document Ink Black.

This guy's running up like "Hey man, you know... If you're not going to use that computer I'll take it because you know... You don't have to throw it to those robots, man. You know?" Just like that.

New one shadowed & ready for color. Drawn with a Pilot Custom 823 FA (favorite pen at the moment) with Noodlers 41 Brown on Strathmore Mixed Media paper.

Adobe just released a new drawing and painting app Fresco for the iPad. Here are few experimental images. I have to say I am impressed with the natural media brushes and the interface.
