drawing

Pen and ink on Bristol paper

So, my sister asked if I would draw her unborn baby as a movie monster to hang in the nursery. She loves the Thing from 1982. This is what I delivered. Apparently, I went a little too disturbing for a baby's room haha gonna have to go another route. The small photo is from her ultrasound

Part of a personal project I'm working on right now, to experiment with unfamiliar art styles and practice lettering skills by drawing animals. This is my first foray into cubism-inspired artwork (definitely don't claim to be an expert on actual cubism)--it was way more fun than I expected! I think I'll be trying some more...

Sometimes you just feel like drawing something simple. :3

Part of my challenge to myself to sketch directly in ink this month, and to play around with using alcohol markers for value (a new tool in my arsenal).

Challenging myself to do only freehand-in-ink sketching this month. Ink + alcohol markers.

For a long time, I always misheard the lyrics in the song ‘Torn Green Velvet Eyes’ by The Magnetic Fields as ‘Tom Green Velvet Eyes’… told myself that one day I’d draw something inspired by this mishearing of things and well, here you go!

Sharks deep in thought as always...

Another new whale song...

All the whales!

A foreshadowing?

The faces come out cute but it is difficult to give them a matching body lol. Feel like I am trying to put a doll together.

Meanwhile, in a shark infested alternate reality...

My average 8-9 hour slumber in a nutshell! It's a miracle I function, quite honestly.

A spot of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s wisdom always gets me by... :-)

Just some warm up doodles. Bic pen in my sketchbook!

These are a couple of drawings that came out decent so far out of 3 months of gesture practice.

As it should be!

Anyone who works in a customer facing role as their day job can attest to this, I'm sure!

Im Kurt and new to Doodle Addicts. Loneliness and anxiety dominate my life and are reoccurring themes in my art. It wasn't until recently, after countless jobs, countless attempts, and thousands of dollars in school debt, that I realized it is what it is. At this point, I am trying to learn how to express myself through art and build a community without the pain from before. Negative or positive, I hope you feel something and will like or comment. #MentalHealth #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder #ItWillGetBetter
