A watercolor piece, all in one color

My vision of the character ‘Smaug’ from J.R.R. Tolkien’s ‘The Hobbit’. Pencil sketch, coloured digitally on IbisPaint X. Here is a passage from The Hobbit describing Smaug’s appearance: “There he lay, a vast red-golden dragon, fast asleep; thrumming came from his jaws and nostrils, and wisps of smoke, but his fires were low in slumber. Beneath him, under all his limbs and his huge coiled tail, and about him on all sides stretching away across the unseen floors, lay countless piles of precious things, gold wrought and unwrought, gems and jewels, and silver red-stained in the ruddy light. Smaug lay, with wings folded like an immeasurable bat, turned partly on one side, so that the hobbit could see his underparts and his long pale belly crusted with gems and fragments of gold from his long lying on his costly bed.”

Birdhouses in Trees colouring page

For some reason, this is one of my favorite works. It's a total fluke, doodle on a spare piece of watercolour paper, totally unplanned

A experimental combination of abstract, geometric lines with organic shapes of gum leaves. Pen, watercolour and masking fluid.

A rainy day looking out the studio. It seemed appropriate to use water colour and pen.

Trying out some permanent markers on an empty wood surface. Colours seems not so bad

This is the 3rd piece that I painted during my train journey. I painted this scene after missing my greeny patches on house from outside. I didn't like how this painting turned out to be. But still fine T_T

This is part of a beautiful moment that was created as I was painting on these mini watercolour sheets. During the journey, I painted around 5 paintings. This is the first painting I painted during my train journey. A group of girls ( students ) got excited when I showed some of my paintings. So I gifted them this. More on the way ....

This park didn’t have enough trees so I painted this ultimate tree.

Watercolor plein air painting but my painting subject of decorative flourishes portray the vibe of this park: Relaxing ASMR sounds of barking dogs, screaming children, and screeching parrots.

Drawn with watercolours and fineliner.

Based on a picture of Helix pomatia I took in the neighborhood

Practicing watercolor in my sketchbook

Inkwash and gel pen in my square Arteza watercolour sketchbook. This kind of doodling soothes my mind.

This is a colour pencil artwork based on the likeness of British actress Madeline Smith. She starred in a James Bond film once, and a few Hammer Horror films. Many thanks for looking and hope you like it !

Elias Rosenshaw 10/5/2023 Filtered digital collage of archival ink pen & gel pen on paper, gears (one with acrylic paint), manipulated photography, and digital colours & patterns.

This is the Tidy corner on my desk. The rest are not fit for audience.

Done with markers, fineliner and coloured pencil.

My latest sketch using Corel Painter 2021 on PC with digital pencil. The Tufted Titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor) is a small, grey-plumed songbird, easily recognized for the crest of grey feathers atop its head, its big black eyes, black forehead, and its rust-coloured flanks. They are quite common throughout the eastern part of North America, so if you're in that geographical region and want to catch a glimpse of a Tufted Titmouse, it may not be that difficult to find.

One of my first attempts at "urban" sketching, from photo reference. Watercolour pencils and ink.
