That Prussian blue is a mood all on its own. Watercolor in sketchbook Watercolor and Acrylic on paper

Ink, marker, white pencil and white pen on Strathmore mixed media toned grey paper

I modified the challenge a wee bit. I didn't use the same paper for the various drawings since I was using (top row, left to right) hard graphite pencils (3H to HB), watercolor pencils, (bottom row, left to right) brush pens and ballpoint pen. These media work best on very different paper textures and moisture absorbing qualities. The second picture shows the object of my study --- and the apparatus I use to hold botanical subjects. "Third hand" tools are very useful and cheap. This one was under $10 and serves my purposes well. Just FYI. (Each drawing/painting was scanned and composited in Photoshop.)

This is the result of a DTIYS challenge on Instagram. Done with ink lines and watercolours on watercolour paper.

*Post-Christmas doodle sesh intensifies* All the cosmic Washi tape here gives things a kind of Douglas Adams-esque vibe…

Making postcards from junk mail. so Inception of me.

I do generally put pen (or some kind of tool), to paper (or some kind of surface), every day, but I'm really TRYING to do it purposefully in one singular location (journal). Here is a successful attempt from that particular day. I'm also super lazy, which means I never go up to my actual studio and only use what's out on my computer desk.

Tim was a great model. He started shy and then became emboldened when the women in the class wanted him to return soon.

On May I created him,I named this little lad "Mevlon" I'm still working on redesigning his outfit (I'll get rid of the sweater vest lol) I'm not too keen on drawing my OC's on paper but I guess it came out half decent?

Kirby Krackle. Don't know much about Darth talon, but the color scheme is similar. i think it looks cool

Nitescape. The mysterious going city across the great ocean, far away from Nornwan and far forgotten, but they have not forgotten. They still have hints of the old world in their dome of cyber charged pessimism. Older painting, for a Nitescape cyberpunk project, the following link is to my friend's bizarre video adventure that takes place sometime in the dark and dreary city of Nitescape! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnfgqkhL_yE
