Fireworks and a parade too, it seems!

New sketchbook time again :-)

This is a digital drawing of a species I came up with. This is also my first attempt of making a base. I'm very pleased with how it turned out and I plan to only get better. Please do not use or claim the species as your own. I worked hard and all things I create are cherished and made with lots of care. Because I have a base, I'm open to color ideas. Please comment if there are any colors you would like to see on my Mikisu. Thank you!

Extremely useful around the house, but doomed to constant despair, the Kitchenware Octopus loves to cook but has no free hands for carrying groceries. The last of her kind, she yearns for a mate to lovingly entangle ladles with, but has yet to meet anyone willing to risk constant proximity to the cheese grater.

A start of animal exploration

Never enough narwhals, is there?

Ink on black

Where do they go after 9 lives?

I am trying to learn how to draw from my imagination and without reference, so I started a series of fish illustrations to practice this.

Another art piece of one of my more simpler character designs, Honey. I have a lot of fox characters as you can tell. ;)

Another narwhal kind of Monday? Yee-up.

Narwhals in surreal lands… what else?

This time two Cloud Study Kittens took an adventure to a distant lake with their special inflatable Dinocorn and gazed into the summer sunset that tastes like Strawberry icecream

A cute deer and his extras.

Here comes a giant rock... wonder what happens next...

A passage from Nick Cave’s Red Hand Files struck a chord with me… “I’m worried my thoughts might slip away, as with a dream.”

This is someone's OC I drew (the design is not mine. No stealing please.) It's also one of my first attempts at drawing a dragon-like creature. This one, I'm pretty proud of. However, I need practice on drawing scales. Getting them to look right is more difficult than I thought. Overall, super happy with this picture. I hope the image makes your day a little more magical.

My son gave me a sketch challenge - Scooby Doo. So, I decided to add Kirk, Spock, Arex and some tribbles from Star Trek: The Animated Series.

Squid’s up!

There is nothing quite as commanding as the roar of a lion echoing across the plains.
