Inktober inspired, working with ink and handmade nibs

When you have got the power to think and imagine, why restrict it? Think big, go big and you will achieve big things.

Outsider art

This was drawn with a Japanese fountain pen, Japanese ink, and painted with Japanese watercolor. To be specific - I used Holbein watercolor and Platinum Carbon Black in a Pilot Falcon. This trio is perfect for me.

Inktober 2018 – Day 28: The Nubian VVitch Made with inks Faber Castell and a pinch of color pencil on A6 paper

Baby, it’s cold outside.

Mixed media. Acrylic, pencil, digital. This is a piece from the book “Mail Me Art - Medium Without A Message” by @littlechimpsociety. I think it was the second call for entries/book.There are now 4 books filled with awesome art drawn and painted on outsides of envelopes and packages by artists all over the world who then mailed them to the UK totally exposed to the postal service. The original was all analog. I brought this into Procreate and reworked it. I may do more when I get a chance but I’m pretty satisfied with it now.

Created with guoache paint on paper.
