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.

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!

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.

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

Digital drawing of the mythical elemental

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

Unfinished drawing inspired by Egyptian and Greco-Roman mythology.

Drawing Prompt Submission

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

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

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

Just a sketch in progress from the sketchbook.

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

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.

super old doodle, colored for fun!
