She could distantly hear the Mice Army praying to the Mouse God, but for her the time for prayers was over. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQPB3VnhDwA/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

This was for an art submission over at MightCould Studios, link in my bio. This week they asked us to draw a Sanrio character and I chose the frog Kerropi, hopefully thats spelled right.

I tried using copic markers to create a realistic drawing (My first time trying something realistic)

Beginning. Bill was feverishly trying to remember how knees worked. Knees made no sense to him. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQLzTZhhoGB/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

As we venture out again...

Beginning. “No means no!” Dudley thought to himself. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQJxPD4h7d4/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

I was at the beach last week and did a lot of flower drawings. Here is one I'm trying to work out.

This is the result of a DTIYS challenge on Instagram. Done with ink lines and watercolours on watercolour paper.

Drawing is always fun because you get to put things together, even when they don’t belong with one another in reality ^______^…

Watercolour and brushpens on watercolour paper.

Some more practice with the eyes and nose, but added some expressions to change it up a bit. Let me know what you think

Beginning. The bird had a pair of sunglasses she used exclusively to daydream. Today she dreamed about blueberries. It seemed strange - maybe - to daydream about them while sitting under a blueberry bush, but the bird thought it made them sweeter. Besides, they were better conversationalists in her imagination. https://www.instagram.com/p/CP_rDGEh_80/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Quick doodle using ink pen

Dinosaur doodling is the way of things today.

Hannibal is one of my favorite shows and I’ve been wanting to draw the Wendigo for a while. Freehanded, done with pencil and ink pens

Ink and watercolour in a handmade watercolour sketchbook.

(Fineliner on 190mm x 120mm paper) This was one of the more larger pieces I did last year (and by large I mean just under A5). It depicts a friendly alien species who, having travelled light years across space, shared the fruits of their knowledge with us, and assimilated into human life as best they could, is still confronted with one of those age-old questions of ignorance.

Beginning. It was so very hot today. The sun beat down on Martin's head like on a drum. The rest of the adventure will have to be continued in a bucket, Martin decided. https://www.instagram.com/p/CP52NzeBJ4y/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

A quick little watercolour painting with an inky outline.

Spent a week living on a sailboat in the Florida Keys. Portrait of our captain.

Ink on paper.

I’ve been drawing a lot of noses lately and this is originally where it began, but then i was having too much fun cx let me know what you think!

This was my very first attempt at the grid. I restarted drawing about October or November of 2020. I was watching something on YouTube and a video came up about a street artist who uses the grid method when scaling up their artwork for the sides of buildings. It got me thinking ... and drawing ... and learning. Its so much fun to watch something slowly come to life from the paper. This was done in a sketchbook. After that I went and got a 9 x 12 inch Strathmore drawing pad - series 300. I have researched paper and I found a great deal on the Strathmore Series 500 roll. 40 inches (or something) by 8 yards! I can't wait to see how the projects improve when the quality of the paper increases. I am currently working on a gift for a friend. Its a drawing of their baby in a little piggy outfit. Unfortunately - I won't post it because its a picture of someone's baby ( I don't have permission - yet) ... but I am super happy with it so far!
