Another commission....loving doing these.

Part of a comic zine I am working on.

Meet Blu. Hand drawn using 0.03 and 0.05 black fineliners on A4 medium cartridge. Such a gorgeous dog with so much personality.

I was lucky enough to get to illustrate a beautiful Gorilla sculpture for Paignton Zoo. He took me 18 months to complete as he was under a purpose built awning at my house. Too hot and the pens dried up, too cold and my fingers froze! He now sits at the zoo and I miss him terribly! He Was decorated using acrylic markers on a white gloss base then varnished with car varnish.

Illustration inspired of Hokusai woodblock print The great wave. First a big version i draw for commission. Second one is sketchbook version i do for Inktober prompt ”wave”

My favourite commission so far! Took me a while this one but so pleased with the finished piece. Didn't want to let her go! Drawn in black and white line using fine liners.

I have long been fascinated by the vision of a campfire in a dark forest and I have drawn a few versions of it with different results. This is the latest attempt

Draw series of pines at Hailuoto island. There is many beautifull pines. Not a tall but quite thick and hardy stubborn trees

Study of bird at light and shadows of leaves

Another vision from imagination .

Tiny starflowers under trees are one part of macig at Finnish woods. This works point is more at illusion than realism

Here's a sketch of the Osprey Pens Pen Factory, drawn with an Osprey Milano 5.5 Flexpert Hourglass nib using Noodlers Black Ink. Great pen!

A simpler & graphic style with Lamy fountain pen and Pentel brushpen

Trying to capture vision of small island at light mist

I gravitated towards the fony baobab, a real type of baobab. Sadly, all baobabs are in decline, which informed my composition. I used pastel earth tones and a lot of blacks. Digitally hand-drawn in Rebelle 6

Reference photo is old B&W slide that my father took long time ago

Watercolor and stabilo black pencil

A special commission for a Christmas present, drawn on A3 medium cartridge using 0.03, 0.05 and 0.1 fine liners. This was a bit different for me but I loved it so much! Took about 28 hours in total.

Second version of my animal hides serie. In the final work i change tree breed to more typical to squirrel in my country

A feast of all things flora and fauna!

My Vintage blue floral pattern print was designed for fabric. Originally drawn in black & white line, the blue adds a vintage feel and reminds me of the blue and white china of yester year.
