My grandma is a craftswoman . She used to work at a Talavera pottery studio and sometimes I would skip school and join her at work. She would give me an imperfect blank pottery piece and lend me her painting supplies so I could create my own art.

Heart illustration for some album artwork!

Tiny drawing; 14,5x10cm, drawn with fineliners.

Ink on paper.

I was travelling two weeks ago, the train moved fast, so the only thing outside the train stable enough to be sketched was the sky.

Got to work early today so I stayed in the car and drew the truck parked across my car.

Another one of blob to creature exercises. Watercolor on A3

Doodle over a 1939 Life magazine cover. I used A permanent black marker and some gel pens for the finish.

My usual warm up - doodles on more or less random blobs of paint. Watercolour on paper, A3

A wee sketch of a feather I found, painted with watercolours on Stillman & Birn Zeta paper.

These are a few pages from my DA sketchbook that I filled using only a blue pen and a red and a blue highlighter.

My latest and first with digital oils. - Magpie in Snow Scene with the PC and ArtRage6 App. I hope you like it as much as I do.

Inktober Day 4 sketch. No prompts. No, you didn't miss Day 3. There was a lot of bleed-through that messed up the sketch. It happens.

Things went horribly wrong with her teeth, but otherwise i think i captured the essence of marlo thomas' character ann marie.

Squiggles and wiggles from the weekend. India ink and Posca pen in Moleskine 8.25x11.75 sketchbook.

My first drawing in black ink only

THE SHIELD from Stories for Nighttime and Some for the Day by Ben Loory. "And the remembrance of that place seems to spur him on, and suddenly he’s picking up the pace. Suddenly he’s jogging down the middle of the road, and then he breaks into a run. And then he’s running as fast as he can, and it feels like he’s about to take off. By the time the man gets to the cheap side of town, he’s never felt so good in his life. And he blows right by that dingy apartment and off into wide open space." https://www.instagram.com/p/CguFREoucBj/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

The clutter on my drawing table.. I tend to use pencils the most, with pens a close second and sometimes brushes. This is the neat look---when everything is put away in its box. More often than not, they are a bit more scattered on the surface. Micron pen drawing.

Sketch of budgies using a black ink pen I took from the Radisson Hotel

I’ve been going through a bit of an art slump lately, but I finally got myself to pick up the pencil and finish this. My reference photo was a bit grainy so had some trouble with that, but overall I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out. Done in graphite, drawing itself is about 5x6 in

Practice for my next project. This is my first time experimenting with white charcoal and white gel pen on black paper. Let me know what you think!

"I take a step outside and I breathe the air, and I slam the door, and I'm on my way. I won't lay no blame, I won't call you names. 'Cause I've made my break and I won't look back; I've turned my back on those endless games." Although I'm a bit late, May 1st was Decision Day (congrats to everyone in the class of 2021!), and I'm proud to say I'll be a Blue Demon this fall (a very sciencey one at that).
