hi

Was truly a meditation making this.

Model: Meadhbh (Maeve). Bic4 Ballpoint Pen, Novelty 10 Colour Ballpoint Pen on Archival 9” x 12” paper

Micron pen and sumi ink. I used the watercolor technique with salt but subbed in the sumi ink instead of watercolor.

Watercolour painting of Ponyo

A portrait of a friend.

Just some disparate doodles created during February 2021, using multiple black ink biros and some HB graphite pencil for toning.

Gourd-face started out as a tiny doodle in my sketchbook but I couldn't stop thinking about him. So I drew several gourd-faces. This one has the unfortunate circumstance of growing on his face. Poor Gourdy. I drew him with pencil and then colored on the computer. Cheers!

I actually saw this on a walk one day...minus the dragon. A new tree was growing from the center of a stump. Nature is awesome.

have you ever seen the part in a bug's life where he flies into the wall, shows a thumbs up and says "I'm okaaay". that's how I imagine saying the title of this image. I added some bruises and stuff so I didn't have to explain to my younger sisters that I was referring to an emotional state of mind

Graphite drawing

Chromatography is used in chemistry to dissolve a mixture and place it into a "mobile phase," which allows the solvent to carry it and its components up the paper. It shows the layers, exposing deeper, hidden tones and colors, something only seen when a solvent of the same polarity is used. It's odd. Life feels a bit like that, and I'm seeing the colors separate for the first time. It's all there, everything that's been hidden in the inky mess for the past however many years. And now it's smeared. Bold. Clear. But blurry. What's on me and what's on you? Where do we go from here?

Hippo in charcoal and graphite

I suppose this was just a tester/practice piece? My first actual still life from observation and my first time actually using charcoal (yes, I've never truly used charcoal before. Charcoal and pastels are two things I avoid. Their looseness and freeness scare me, considering how rigid I can be). Not sure how to feel about this one. I'm my worst critic, and I've known that for a long time now. There's a lot of practice and progress to be made, but it turned out half-way decent.
