OKAT's Faves

Makin' stuff can be hard sometimes...

A little whimsical farmhouse complete with chickens, a garden, a well, and even smoke curling up from the chimney! TYL for country whimsy...

Overwhelmed...started as a little tiny sketchbook sketch and turned into my statement about recent events. It complements my previous post "Fevered Dreams." Bic ballpoint pen on archival 9” x 12” paper, scanned into Photoshop where the text overlay was added. Model: Jose

A different kind of mouse than I normally make. I am taking a year long class w Danielle Donaldson and we work on a different animal each week.

Fantasising about pranking people I don't like in this lil comic/cartoon

This started as a line drawing based on a photo of peonies in the garden. It’s drawn with three different pens: Micron 005, Micron 03 and Faber Castell Pitt superfine (0.3) on 11x14 Strathmore Bristol Vellum. The paper isn’t terribly tolerant of wet media, so I played around with tinting it in Photoshop because I wasn't sure how it would go. But I liked it in color enough to chance painting the drawing with the nice and bright Dr Ph Martin Hydrus watercolors. It's photographed it on my drafting table with my glasses for scale. The lamp has a daylight bulb, so I think the color (at least where the light is more prominent) is fairly true.

Daily Prompt Afternoon. A tribute to my old friend Sky my Bearded Dragon. It seems great to see him sat there basking in the afternoon sun. RIP Sky you're very much missed.

I was inspired to post some of my own Robot drawings. Three are done in ink and alcohol markers. One is chalk and Fire Alarm on chalkboard. ;-D

Free form shells and sea life. I like how this one turned out for a first try. I have plans to turn it into a series.

Macrocosm: the whole of a complex structure, especially the world or the universe. Acrylic on wood panel.

Imaginary trash scene, what can I say

Just a practice drawing of my room

(HB pencil on 190mm x 140mm paper) I'd avoided such social media sites up until now, but decided (reluctantly) to take the plunge after constantly being advised to. So, I did this quick drawing for the first post on there. It really says it all. If you're on Instagram, you can follow me on there. I'll gladly do the same for you: https://www.instagram.com/skavartist/
