Shark time again.

Beginning Maude was so full of watermelon and sunshine that she needed a nap. Watermelon rind seemed like a very convenient hammock with a side of a snack. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQjMm25BcuU/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Minnie is the sweetest girl Mickey could ever have. So why not have her pose with a few sweet treats?

For this series, I'm trying to hone my beginner skills by focusing on the architecture of each strange creature through reference photos, while also using it as a log for interesting animal facts.

Beginning. Dee LOVED hats. She made very elaborate hats for herself and her friends. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQgWEpMhF2Z/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Ren and Stimpy fan art - these two were my childhood favorite and influenced my art, as you can probably tell, ha ha. Thanks for the idea, @Rayedrgn :)

Explored texture for shading in this line art. It gives an interesting look. I like my meteor bonking the moon.

I wanted to take snapshots of my day at the beach so I came up with the idea of doing story boards, little snippets of moments. Felt less pressure for perfection and created an atmosphere still.

Beginning. Eleleth got bored of dancing on the needle's point pretty quickly. Now he read. Cat's autobiographies were his favourite. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQT4rFaBuys/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Situational awareness is important these days. Pre-pandemic, I sometimes take my doodles to coffee shops during my lunch breaks and relax for half an hour or so by mindlessly scribbling/shading with my Bic pen. People usually leave me alone but this drawing made me realise that not everyone wants to see a man drawing a naked man. A few people took exception to my subjects’ lack of clothing and made their displeasure known by telling me. Suffice to say, I try not to go into coffee shops anymore while working on subject matter that might offend anyone. Bic4 Ballpoint Pen on 9” x 12” Archival paper. Model: Malik_E
