This is part of my daily Sketchgrind day 11. That's how I felt when I quit my job working in a highly competitive office job in the financial sector and started to work full time as an artist. One oft he best decisions I have ever made, I flourish and develop every day, living life on inspiration. I also made a mini animation https://youtu.be/9aMjPPK5yCc .

I was inspired by an artist called Meyo, I also was inspired by a song called unicorn zombie apocalypse. by BORGORE & SIKDOPE.

Eve is a continuation on my series of portraits. This piece represents my maturing technique and style as I begin to experiment with creamy consistencies. The painting displayed my ability to capture facial expressions. My trip to Paris, France influenced my painting style. I was struck by the realism and drama depicted in various compositions, but also the lack of diversity. This piece is named "Eve" questioning whether the holy subjects depicted in European art were, in fact, part of a different race altogether.

A sketch on the theme of Archery. It could also be called Red Bishop to Black Knight. Ballpoint pen.

To me she symbolizes change, about going through phases, and also letting go of what no longer serves us.

This is a work in progress, as I'll be adding more spots to my neighborhood map. You can also view the map with interactivity on my site: https://www.colorsnack.com/the-cedars-neighborhood-map/

My small village place of my childhood growing. This drawing also use digital media with single layer with free hand brush no effect

I feel a connection to spiders but am also afraid of them.

Listening to lots of Alvvays, Tacocat, Slutever, and Bikini Kill as of late. Also really obsessed with yokai, as of late, again!

Inspired by Picasso's cubism age and also a object.

We continue the #inktober environmental issues series with the #day19 word: #scorched and for this word I tried to illustrate the Urban Heat Island effect. This takes place in metropolitan areas that are warmer than the rural areas surrounding them. The main cause of the UHI effect is the alteration of land surfaces (concrete and asphalt). Heat waste produced by people and their tools (like vehicles and industry) is another cause and also the decreased amount of vegetation. UHIs often have lower air and water quality that have a negative effect on the environment of these areas. It is also considered to be a possible contribution to global warming. © Maria!Bălan, 2018

From "A Cabinet of Byzantine Curiosities" by Anthony Kaldellis Divorce. By law, a man could ask for divorce if his wife had questioned his masculine honour - say, through infidelity or immoral behavior; caused him bodily harm by attempts on his live through magic or physical violence; or jeopardized his attempts to procreate - for example, through infidelity or abortion. He could also demand divorce if his wife was incapable of fulfilling her conjugal duties due to an incurable illness - say, madness or leprosy. Madness was sometimes distinguished from demonic possession, which did not constitute grounds for divorce. Attachments area

This doodle occurred in AP Chemistry, starting with the flower and fern-like leaves in the center. It is a pen drawing and is also available as a print on my art sites (Redbubble, Society6, Fine Art America, Zazzle, and Threadless). Access all sites with this link if you'd like to see: https://linktr.ee/okhismakingart

Sketch was completed in a local coffee shop that also sells cactuses and succulents.

Rereading the Greek Myths lately and appreciating Hermes' footwear. Also I just like birds. :)

I took too long of a break from drawing, but so far this is coming out well. I've tried to go for a sci-fi theme, which is my favorite genre, but definitely not where my strengths are. Criticism, critiques, and suggestions are very much welcome! Also I'm going to have to find a new way of uploading my work.

I also make electric field art and post it to Redbubble, Society6, Zazzle, and Threadless as product designs. Try this link if you're interested in this pattern on a dress, skirt, shirt, towel, blanket, or something else: https://linktr.ee/okhismakingart

Went to see Billy Strings Band live in Philly. Music inspires me so much. Although you might not like bluegrass, it's worth checking these guys out. Great jamming, musicians and show. Anyway even if you hate bluegrass, I hope you like the art that came out of it. I also included the original sketch/doodle. Enjoy. BTW: the song is "While I'm Waiting Here".

(HB pencil on 110mm x 90mm paper) Another of my now yearly drawings that I use for Christmas cards which I send out to various people. As ever, these cards also included its own seasonal tale, which you can read here: http://www.skavart.co.uk/2018/12/merry-christmas-2018-last-nativity.html

Progression 5 of 5. Final Drawing. Overall, satisfied with how this came out. I should have done a better job of the hard lines, especially around the skin. Also, my vision for the background didn't come out quite as planned, but I didn't want it to draw the eye more than the main focus, so I left it lighter and vague. There were a lot of Nike symbols in this piece!

This is a mashup of art styles. I'm not even sure how to describe it. Started with the main mushroom that is outlined and then went crazy around it. Also experimented with water reflections a bit.

Progression 1 of 5. Found this image and felt it captured the power a beauty of the sport. Also, this piece I did with out any blending or smudging, which is my usual go-to technique.

I love to doodle, if you also love these type of arts hit like.

The topic is poisonous. I went with an Io moth caterpillar. I've also hidden a 1 in the composition. Spot the 1!

I intended to do quick little spot illustrations for Inktober this year, but nooooooo! Now Jimmy is drowning in digital ink and lots of doodle details. This was way too much fun to go simple. I also included the original sketch this time.

India ink on tissue paper. I had never used ink on this kind of paper before; I really liked the results! There are some folds and wrinkles on the paper that give the pattern some interesting details. The paper is also super absorbing, which plays nicely with the quantities of ink. Since it's very thin, there can easily be overlays between textures. And finally, when trying to use less ink (so that it wouldn't seep through and cause a big dot - the absorbing quality is nice, but it was also somewhat of a challenge!) I used very little ink on the lettering, causing a scratchy, dry look.

Inktober2018day12-Whale. I’m using inktober to explore and improve my techniques. This time I wanted to try using more crosshatching. I’m happy with the result. Also, at first I had nothing for the whale prompt but it’s rewarding when you push through the dead space and a concept or idea comes to my head that I can be excited with.

This is one of my favorite pieces. This was inspired by Repo! The Genetic Opera, but it means a lot more to me as well. Feelings of desperation and also a feeling of self control that really isn't there. Forcing myself to smile and all the while, feeling hollow inside.
