Fun with gouache! While I was painting this, I learned that "scumble"/"scumbling" are words used to describe the action of dry brush painting, so my detective's name is Scumbles.

A little exercise in my sketchbook to create a non-narrative comic. Just graphite, digitally colored.

Drawing Prompt Submission

Graphite and marker. Trading card size, fish in Regency era costume.

Mixed media collage in progress.

A cafe that makes only baked goods with berries, staffed only by bears. Mostly marker, with felt tip pen and a little finishing in Photoshop.

Started as the weekly prompt, but I kinda wandered off track. So instead of drawing yin and yang in opposing colors like I sat down to do, the B-Team happened in secondary colors!

Watercolor practice inspired by a Jan Mankes painting and recent weather.

Digital drawing of the mythical elemental

Unfinished drawing inspired by Egyptian and Greco-Roman mythology.

Mixed media (pretty much every type of pen/marker I have is in these somewhere). Recovering from surgery last month, slowly learning to sit upright again, thinking about flowers. :)

Started as a doodle while I was listening to a podcast on the history of gin! Just graphite.

Drawing Prompt Submission

Just a sketch in progress from the sketchbook.

Sketchbook page inspired by a Midsummer Night's Dream, with Titania and the unnamed Boy. Markers n' pens.

Missing people watching in public, and the smells and sounds of a coffeehouse. Pencil drawing with some digital painting.

Graphite drawing inspired by a photo of a shop in Venice, but with my own cats.

Digital painting, inspired by last days of summer feelings.

Drawing Prompt Submission

Mixed media drawing. The sky can spread oppressively across a flat landscape like the meadows of the midwestern United States. In this drawing I wanted to evoke that sense as a backdrop for a trio of Weirds, soothsayers of folklore.
