Hello. I am a total beginner when it comes to artwork. This is my very first attempt at creating a road going down an autumn forest with colored pencils. I know I'm not the best artist but I hope to learn more.

Quick pencil sketch.

A portrait of my sister inspired by her grumpiness.

Getting a little wavy psychedelic with this one!

Here's a drawing I made of pinup model Lalla.I used black ink, color pencil (black and grey) graphite pencil on watercolor paper. Many thanks for looking.

Shadows follow but I will move on! I have PTSD, so I am tormented by my past. Anxious for what's behind me. But I won't let that stop me! I may have "Lead in my shoes" (Dutch "Lood in mijn schoenen"), sometimes feel empty while on other times I am red from anger, nothing will stop me moving on. There will be temporary throwbacks, progress is not linear, but I will get there. I won't drown in self-pity this time.

Uploading my first piece. I call it the "the sad cat"

pen drawing, that's all I'm posting on here, pen drawings only. I abhor pencils.

The crawling undying. Expelling the rot and absorbing new life for their vicious, deadly cycles

Part of a series...
