Just a doodle about my favorite coffee shop...

We continue the #inktober environmental issues series with the #day19 word: #scorched and for this word I tried to illustrate the Urban Heat Island effect. This takes place in metropolitan areas that are warmer than the rural areas surrounding them. The main cause of the UHI effect is the alteration of land surfaces (concrete and asphalt). Heat waste produced by people and their tools (like vehicles and industry) is another cause and also the decreased amount of vegetation. UHIs often have lower air and water quality that have a negative effect on the environment of these areas. It is also considered to be a possible contribution to global warming. © Maria!Bălan, 2018

Just a haunted house! The usual

Since folks like the one of Mars, I figured I should upload this one as well. Same concept, but I think the Mars one worked better for the commission.

Pencil Drawing

Created with a black pen on paper.

Sketch was completed in a local coffee shop that also sells cactuses and succulents.

One of a Series of Manager Portraits that was used by the Zero Forty Brewery to promote the events on their social media that focused on the Premier League.

Really happy with the colors on this piece. Trying to start doing more to play with the backgrounds on pieces.

Pen and ink illustration of an old beetle abandoned in the bush!

Rereading the Greek Myths lately and appreciating Hermes' footwear. Also I just like birds. :)

A color pencil drawing using Faber Castell Polychromos color pencils on Strathmore 300 series smooth Bristol paper. Many thanks for looking.

Drawing on a wooden spoon.

This is a piece I did, based off of a prompt in a daily creating group that I am a member of on Facebook. The theme was Polka Dots (If the title wasn't obvious). Looking forward to trying out DoodleAddicts!

In this photo I drew two Betta fish, a clock and a female in a dark background. Drawing this picture was more of a self expression. The two betta fish expressed conflict; the clock expressed running out of time and the female I guess would represent myself. I was in a dark period while drawing this, but happy to say, I’ve managed to pull through my obstacles =)
