I'm back and I feel a lot better! I will be posting more! I am so exited to be posting this summer! I will be missing the first 2 weeks of July due to vacation in Orlando, Florida. I love you guys! Let your flags fly!

FROM ANOTHER WORLD (3 PICS)

Quick 1 hour sketch working with a limited palette for a moody, gritty atmosphere. I always like to think of the story behind a piece before I start, and this one was a reflection of where I see the world going - a dystopian world in which many parts of the city have been abandoned, taken over by urban foliage, and left to ruin as people flee.

Exploring with Derwent drawing pencils.

Trying to draw everyday for the next 100 days. Everyday one prompt. Day 1: Rise

This sketchbook is all about triangle patterns! Each page starts with a base layer of connecting triangles. From there, I fill in different patterns on each page, challenging myself to come up with new ideas for each page.

Drawn in about 30 min for my Grandfather w/ Parkinson's Disease. He absolutely loves these majestic cats. What better than to have a resting one sitting next to you while resting yourself.

Next page in my journal. Derwent Inktense pencils plus a little white gel pen.

FREE THE FISH

Himalayas Set 4* The shades of colours on the mountains

This is a drawing of the ocean. It shows all the different zones of the ocean. It also shows animals that live in those zones. At the top is the sunlight zone. Next is the twilight zone. After that is the midnight zone. The last is the abyssal zone.

EEL BE OK

My son love dinos and asked for me to paint some :) ;)

My hammock waiting for the new tree leaves to fill in the shade. Yes, there is an exercise ball my son brought out to the garden.

A WORLD OF MY OWN - 09 APRIL 2020

Overlaying patterns. Organic vs geometric.

Sketch complete...next to paint

I do all my work with spray paint. I’m pretty new to painting but I really enjoy it. I have a few other pieces up on my Instagram so if you like this one check me out @alex_bowen_

UNTITLED - JAN 2020

In the process of developing the next "Bird, tree, card" painting. Building off the root sketch and incorporating a harpy eagle. Which heard of but never really "looked at before... and wow. They are beautiful, huge and so odd.

Getting more detailed with this pattern study, so this definitely wasn't a quickie! Gold Posca pen stream of consciousness doodling.

Plan to make the horses more unrecognizable and then go over the whole thing with sharpie adding shading and texture

This head is from a broken sculpture I found in A church of Rome when I was exploring the city, you can see a lot of these sculpture on the streets when you look around.

Geometric pattern doodle - all freehand! Markers used: Posca Pens

i haven't used just pencil in a while so i thought i'd try it out. i think it turned pretty well. i love constructive criticism, so feel free to hit me up.

Swirly doodly pattern study time!

And most of the time, imperfection is the way to see the balance of life. It's where you see and understand the most beautiful lesson that we will carry upto the end of our existence.

I don’t know, I doodled on my hand and took a photo of it and edited it. I personally think it looks cool but that’s just my opinion. -I have depression, and have been/am a cutter so that explains the words written.

I am continuing to try to paint without outlining in pen first - just starting with a pencil sketch. I used this awesome photo as reference: https://www.pexels.com/photo/chimpanzee-sitting-on-gray-stone-in-closeup-photography-during-daytime-33787/
