drawing

Lindsey and I went to an oddities expo today. Decided to draw her as a witch haha playing with some new techniques

Grandma's prompt: St. Louis Arch

I had this bizarre dream recently that I saw some maniac driving in circles around my neighbourhood in what looked like a Reliant Robin, ready to crash into whatever they could at any given moment… yes, my mind (awake or asleep) works in weird ways but it gives me ideas so, hurray?

Learning to see through drawing. It is a form of therapy.

Lindsey's prompt: 4 Calling birds

My only niece's 1st birthday was a few days ago. I decided to start a tradition of drawing her every year for her birthday as special uncle presents. Here is her first one. Her favorite movie right now is Monsters University

Space whale one of many…

Watercolour painting of a Prickly Hakea. I started drawing different plants last month from the area where I live. This month I am turning them into watercolours, with the Hakea being one of the first.

This Banksia nut was found in southern Western Australia, one of the many varieties of Banksia found in Australia.

The forest nearby is full of baby banksias growing in poor gravelly/sandy soil which they do better in. The little one was growing on the edge of a gravel road.

The nearby pine tree has dropped quite a few pine cones, all in different states of decay. I enjoy looking at the different shapes, sizes and colours of each cone, each with its unknown story.

Something pertaining to twins and symmetry (figuratively speaking)…

Tucker Mandarin is very happy with his portrait! :-)

Abstract line drawing while thinking about the different rock formations found in caves, cliffs, hills and those in my rock collection.

A drawing-in-progress of native flora near my home and in my garden. The Lilly Pilly fruits will be made into jam while the Grevilleas provide food for the bees.

Narwhal time!

Witchy sharks in a ghost gallery

It is what is, as they say.

Video games and bees, because why not?

Happy Beltane!

New sketchbook time? Yes it is. Experimenting with a new size this time around... I call this one “Miniature Eyes”!

And so, we reach the end of another sketchbook here… it’s goodnight from me and Squirtle, for now!

Couldn’t forget to draw Vaporeon, could I?

Dragonite wishing you all a happy Chinese new year when it comes! :-)

Quick studies of animals that start with P, brainstorming for an alphabet project I'm doing.

Many people walk past plants either without noticing them or with just a glance. For the Walmajarri people in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, and many other Indigenous groups, plants provide a source of food and medicine. These outlines are of plants that are used by Walmajarri people as either food or medicine. For most people they remain a mystery, hence the outline only.
