As I’ve said before and I’ll say again, there’s never enough narwhals!

An accurate description of my social media habits…

Where did September go?

As it says, with narwhals.

Introducing “Home Is Where Your Head’s At” :-) Starting a new sketchbook as we leave the summer and head into the autumn again… with things like Halloween and Samhuinn rearing their heads it’s liable to sway what goes on here as it always does!

The end of one sketchbook and journey, with another to begin shortly!

Chunky markers are fun!

Badger Week has come and gone, but my support for these magnificent creatures continues!

This is an adorable picture of a panda giving another panda a giant bouquet of flowers. The drawing was sketched with pencil, outlined with glitter pens, and mostly filled in with brush pens. Some details were filled in with the glitter pens also. Getting the flowers to look nice was not easy, but I think I just got away with it. Hope you enjoy the cute pair.

Back to it after a mini-break!

Spooky narwhal time again :-)

Unicorn whales and shiny things… standard stuff? Yep.

Lots of work to do this weekend... Trying to get ahead but not leaving much time for drawing

Started out as a spider, but I flipped it upside down halfway through and thought it looked cool so I finished it in that orientation

This little book had several tiny squares/rectangles per page. At first I didn't know how to fill it (2017). Eventually I sketched trees, scenes, birds, animals I'd seen during a days walk. It accidentally became a diary of seasons! Not all my art is nature sketching, I'm a watercolor artist as well. But line and pen drawing, halftone is what I've been up to for a while.

It’s another moon and narwhal piece… what do you expect? It’s me :-P

Happy Solstice one and all :-)
