I try to do a couple of birds a week (obviously don't post them all). This is based on an on-line photo reference drawn with a "soft" Palomino Blackwing pencil and a 4B Koh-I-Noor Hardtmuth Progress woodless pencil. Hence the dark velvety black.

More ballpoint pen experiments. This is with a Bic Round Stic (12 for $1.49 at Staples!) on just a bond paper. Making progress with this medium, methinks!

WIP. Pandemic self-portrait series. Portrait No2. There are always a couple of ways to look at a situation.

This sentient pickle wants to be your best friend.

It seems I’ve just finished this drawing at the point where we should in real life be keeping as much distance as possible away from each other!

I wanted to cover up a crappy scribble that was on this page, so I just covered it in black and used a white ink pen to doodle over it

Halloween’s a bit early this year. I’m working on a scratch board technique video featuring a drawing of Nosferatu from my sketchbook.

Another vision from imagination .

Not a famous quote per se (as requested for this week's prompt), but my own little phrase I often think about and consider.

I've been so impressed with the ball point pen art that I have seen on this site, that I decided to give it a try. This is a Betta fish (Siamese fighting fish) done in red, blue, and purple ball point pens. Obviously, I have much to learn....but it was great fun and I have ordered some more colors since I plan on experimenting more. I've enclosed a photo of the work in progress and the various reference photos I used. The colors are more true to the final scan than in the flash photo of my drawing table.

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