Hello, my name is myra naito,
and I'm a doodle addict. Hawaii

At the moment, art is a side gig. I'm working towards making it a full time thing. I create animal portraits, both for fun and on commission. I've been doing that for the better part of the last 15 years. I work primarily in pencil, but have recently started getting into ballpoint pen. The permanence of it is a challenge!

I specialize in charcoal, colored pencil, drawing, graphite, pen and ink, pencil drawing.

Monthly theme was "GOLD", so I thought about gold as a hedonistic symbol and meaning. Almost religious. I imagined a society praising hedonism as their religion.

Anne Hill

White and sanguine conte pencils on toned paper. These ruins captured my drawing itch with the quality of the light filtering brilliantly through the tangled growth outside, and the open shade within. At a metaphorical level, the image is about the sense of having a laborious path set in stone for me by custom, convention, and culture, while way is wide open to the chaotic fertility of nature, should I choose to follow my own feet and heart.

Sketched on location, then penned over it at home from a photo. I had fun with this!

A colour sketch in preparation for a larger piece. The scene is from woodland very close to my home on a spring morning during last year's lockdown.

A colour sketch of Llyn Brianne in preparation for a much larger piece. The sketch was done in acrylic, but then I changed my mind and started the full-sized piece in oils.

Trying some pastels after the drawing prompt. I like them. They are portable and you can create some fun effects. Of course, everything still looks like a seascape to me.

I have a lot of work to do with these pastels, but they are fun!
