Lineart for my cheeseburger coloring book in the works

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.

Illustration for a coloring book I'm working on.

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!

Digital drawing of the mythical elemental

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.

Mixed media collage in progress.

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. :)

Drawing Prompt Submission

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

Drawing Prompt Submission

Digital painting, inspired by last days of summer feelings.

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

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

Just a sketch in progress from the sketchbook.

Drawing Prompt Submission

Drawing Prompt Submission

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

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.

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

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