Acrylic on black-primed MDF, 6x6"

My third attempt at drawing Ellie in her black turtleneck. Ballpoint Pen, ink wash on Moleskine Sketchbook.

This is the first painting I made for a series on dragons that I hope to exhibit this year at my local art museum. It's a 26x36 cm watercolour painting on cotton paper. I took the concept from a Chinese god who was in charge of the pearl of creation, and turned it into a dragon with that very same pearl.

Mixed media - collage, crayon, pen and pencil

Laughing at a saying a friend had misheard.

I'm playing a lot with the background texture. I'm discovering the power of brushes from Krita Software.  I fell in love with the gouache texture effect.  I like the silhouettes in this illustration, but the leaves could be better. I need to find a good brush for drawing leaves faster and with ease. Or maybe I should try some other techniques? Have a creative time!

Started a not-so-random random doodle. ("Not-so-random" because it's Chinese New Year soon, and it will be the Year of the Rabbit! :P)

Sometimes it takes more than one post-it note.

Another Wednesday, traditional style ;)

URASHIMA THE FISHERMAN From Favorite Folktales from Around the World by Jane Yolen. Then a last song burst from him as he struggled with his loss: “My love, when after a night of longing day dawns and I stand at my open door, I hear far off waves breaking on the shores of your Paradise!” If only he hadn’t opened that jeweled box, people have said since, he could have been with her again. But the clouds hid her Paradise from him and left him nothing but his grief. #dailydrawing #folktales #kidlitart #watercolor #janeyolen #sofreakingsad #tonighticanwritethesaddestlines
