I've started a new sketch book (one of many, lol), which I am dedicating to ink drawings only. No pencils, no watercolours, just pen and ink :) I drew this doodle today with a Uniball pen and a light ink wash for the space sky. No reference, totally made up. Mistakes and all! Available as stickers and other goodies on Red Bubble. Sketchbook is Stillman and Birn Alpha - I love, love, love the whiteness of its pages!

Dreams, Thoughts, Memories & Ideas captured with black ink.

Just me and my little world

Abstract / pen / drawing

Uni pen black and white mandala

Simple black line work, on top of a bit of watercolor, because you always need a pretty watercolor background.

Nights of weird dreams captured in Ink

The bold white initial letter is sitting on a blue pen and ink hand drawn illustration with a watercolour background.

Thoughts, Memories & Fun Ideas

colored pencils and oil pastels on black paper

This is one of many people that I will be using in my Senior Thesis animation project. My project is to create an interactive piece that is aimed for teaching young underrepresented minorities and girls the design process for a robot. :)

More Ink fun- Less Letters this time :) And a little tribute to one of my favorite Schiele drawings (Reclining Woman with Red Blouse)

Another concept of this character.

This is my illustration of the Mad Hatter, based on the Tim Burton interpretation; it was created for a recent blog post. Everything was drawn by hand on white cardstock, using illustration pens, except for the background (which was created by scanning a specific craft paper pattern). The black and white conversion/inversion, composition, and subtle refinements were done in Adobe Photoshop. © 2018 Joe Blend. All rights reserved.
