Hello, my name is Hermit,
and I'm a doodle addict. UK

I call what I do "skav art" which is firmly rooted in its doodling origins. It's really a form of finished thumbnail sketching, drawn on anything below the size of A5 using just one single medium like a pen or a pencil. It does away with any further artistic processes, concentrating more on that initial raw idea.

I specialize in art, artist, biro, creative, drawing, pen and ink, pencil, skav art.

(Gel Fineliner on A5 Paper) A sad little addiction that many people have. Just take it one day at at a time :P

(2B pencil on a 139mm x 89mm postcard) Another Dreamscape drawing that uses random shading to build up imagery in a surrealist automatism technique.

(HB pencil on below A6 paper) One of a number of sketches I did in a small sketchbook I made for myself. They became a series of them based on one character contained in its 10 pages. The full series can be viewed here: http://www.skavart.co.uk/2018/10/lulani-greenstar-elven-witch.html

(HB pencil on 60mm x 40mm card) A dreamscape (automatic drawing) image

(HB pencil on 103mm x 73mm paper) A dreamscape (automatic drawing) piece which resulted in this serene-looking character.

(HB pencil on a 139mm x 87mm postcard) It's not surprising that the pandemic would inspire me to do a work such as this. How could it not? It shows both the growing need for social interaction people have in isolation, along with the need to protect themselves. These two things have come together in a piece depicting a strange group of gate-crashing party-goers.

(2B pencil on 80mm x 48mm paper) Another of my Guardian Spirit pieces drawn on a much smaller format so that I can hand them out to people I meet as calling cards.

(2B Pencil on A5 Paper) I did this one as part of a fictional challenge where every prompt-word of the month was "arse" but made it part of Inktober.

(2B pencil on 130mm x 90mm paper) I've never watched Peaky Blinders, but whilst doing some casual sketching, I came up with this orc character and so called it "Freaky Blinder" due to its flat cap and cigarette.

(2B pencil on 110mm x 81mm paper) An odd dreamscape piece which produced the unlikely pair of characters of a wizard and, what looks like, a rocker, with the wizard having trouble deciphering a magic scroll he's been given. The rocker doesn't look too impressed!

(gel fineliner pen on 115mm x 87mm paper) I did this piece to test out those cheap fineliner pens that you can buy for £1 for 3 from TheWorks stores. They're pretty good for what they are, as you can see. They're 0.38 in line width and the gel ink is quite opaque.

(2B pencil on 100mm x 80mm paper) A simple little drawing of what a modern denizen of Innesmouth might look liike.

(2B pencil on 85mm x 67mm paper) I wasn't going to keep this dreamscape piece I did, but I did like the title I gave it!

(Gel Fineliner on A5 paper) One of the age-old responses from dog-owners: “He won't bite you” along with “He's good with children.” He's a dog, and like all dogs, they're bred from wolves. Given half the chance they'd revert back to their natural pack instinct. The only reason they don't is that they see you as the pack leader who regularly feeds and pampers them. “Oh, my little darling isn't like that!” I hear you say, as if you're talking about a child. “He gives me kisses by licking my face. It's his way of saying how much he loves me.” He licks his balls and arsehole with that tongue, so what's he really saying there?

(Gel Fineliner on A5 paper) A drawing to give a little pointless encouragement for those taking part in Inktober this year.

(Gel Fineliner on A5 Paper)

(Gel Fineliner on A5 Paper) You have to be very careful what names you give your fantasy creations. They might sound right in your own mind, but others will read them very differently. For example: He's a Kakka-Du Knight. They're known to roam the galaxy, righting wrongs and bringing peace and justice to the far reaches of space, because that's what the Kakka-Du do!

(Gel Fineliner on A5 Paper) It has to be the reason why we can't all speak French. Either that or they're completely useless at their jobs.;P

(Black biro on a 75mm x 75mm post-it note) A take on the three wise monkeys using alien greys.

(fineliner pen on the back of a 55mm x 85mm business card) I accidently shredded this piece. It was a nice little drawing on the back of a business card, so it was annoying to lose it.

(HB pencil on a 140mm x 90mm postcard) A pet dragon can be far better for security than having a dog.
