Tried some trendy portrait sketch

There's a phone in Graham's Up the Tree and kids will have no clue what they're looking at or how those "buttons" work.

A doodle experiment in colour

Work in progress, Hope to finish this tonight....

Sketch at Vilnius botanical garden

"Potato digger", watercolour and ink on paper, 210mm x 148mm(A5). Tiny painting made on my break from a bigger project I'm working on. The whole thing sprouted from a sketch of my small potato plant. Anyone else feels sorry for their patatoes when they sprout too much and plants them? The plants are so pretty, too!

Doodling my faces, this time on a piece of wood from a pallet. Re-cycling! Used watercolors and colored pencils, Carved out some spots to add dimension.

Sometimes I like to take ink splats and try to figure out what they are. Could there possibly be anything better than "crab dab"?

Nero extra soft oil based pencil is a great doodling and sketching tool that I have been using for a couple of years. Not smudgy and delivers good lines.

Here are several steps in the process of making a particularly complex pattern and some color variations.

Run away, my dear child. Don't let anyone stop you.
