Pencil drawing

A few sprawling critters from my sketchbook...

This drawing is from the '1 drawing a day challenge'. My work usually incorporates my signature little bird.

All the elements were drawn by hand, with Prismacolor markers used to create what would be vastly contrasting tones after b/w conversion. The composition and b/w conversion were done in Adobe Photoshop. © 2016 Joe Blend. All rights reserved

One of my original pen and ink drawings. Drawn on nice cotton paper with a laid finish.. The piece measures 5" Wide X 8" Tall Signed and Titled.

A contour drawing was added using white ink, to convey the meaning behind the haiku (note: the word "the" was added by using semi-opaque tape to remove the word from a different newspaper article). The piece was scanned into Adobe Photoshop for small adjustments, to prepare for printing.

I did this one to practice my pencil work and to improve on drawing realism. I used a reference photo from one of my favorite magazines, Inked, I removed the other tattoos on the model except for the beautiful rose tattoo.

A Zentangled Fearie sketch I've been working on for a bit in my sketchbook. I can't wait to finally finish her! It's been fun doing all the little details.
