Mushroom made on ink with the pointillism technique

13 x 17cm oil on paper

A piece I created via a Skillshare class. It’s folk art inspired.

what will probably be my last drawing of 2020 I sort of surprised myself after months of kind of muddling through half finished sketches I worked into the small hours of the morning to polish this sketch. I'm pleased with how its turned out.

I had a bit of a lack of inspiration today, but here’s a roller coaster.

Tired old joke ;)

Sensuality, power and fertility - meditative layers and tangles of flowers, weeds, and grasses. A bee emerges, free! Ultimately a positive message of hope!

HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS

I am continuing to try to paint without outlining in pen first - just starting with a pencil sketch. I used this awesome photo as reference: https://www.pexels.com/photo/chimpanzee-sitting-on-gray-stone-in-closeup-photography-during-daytime-33787/

A quick pen test. A portrait of my feathered partner, a Kriders Red Tailed Hawk.

AP Studio Sustained Investigation piece - 2026, Watercolor and sepia-toned colored pencil on paper.

#24 Anime girl doodles - I think I drew this sometime last year 2025 - I just never bothered to upload it. Most of it was sketched on Magma.com and part of the inking process was finished in Ibis Paint, with only minor adjustments in photoshop. I do all my digital inking on an iPad pro, and I use those hollow aluminum capacitive styluses that you can get very cheap just about anywhere. I prefer them over the apple pencil because the apple pencil is too slippery and heavy. More uploads coming soon...

Whenever I'm hungry, it always sneaks into my art.

Everyone shines differently

Heard about a supposed art fight, got no idea what that is but I brung my sword to the fight.. Also I took advantage of this to try and study the style of @Dominik Mayer, @Artem Chebokha and @Andrew Maleski (once more)

Going through a mental health journey, and created this fella. This is not the complete image, he will have bat wings and devil horns. I just hit a small wall with some of the layers. But I will have the picture complete when I can. I finally started drawing again after weeks of depression. So excited to see where this fella goes.

One of my frog sketches. I've been drawing a bunch of frogs lately! They're really cute :)

Another one of a 4 part project, I will have the rest uploaded this weekend.

I need a new Sharpie
