Learning to use acrylic inks.

Mixed media drawing on wooden panel, 2020.

My first venture into artist grade colouring pencils - and I'm smitten! I never thought I could achieve such boldness and blendability with them! I'm still getting used to them and will think about choosing smoother paper with less tooth next time. The texture and weight was more for the water-based gouache along with alcohol inks (which are very unforgiving to even primed heavy paper!). Apologies for the unevenness of lighting between the 2 sides of paper; will correct that when I'm making proper image files.

Gnomes are so cute.

This is a drawing for a poetry book. Sometimes I do the drawing first and then write the poetry.

This is a section of a very large drawing. The entire drawing was a massive doodle that could be used in a children's book one day.

A second go at my drawing 'Animal Parade'. I wanted to try a different approach, a bit darker.
