The other day I saw pictures of a Russian gala beginning of the 1900. The royalty was wearing extravagant beautiful clothing and they inspired this piece. Due to the card stock used and the subject I also decided to not use color but leave it at black, white and dark Grey. I would love feedback as I adore how it turned out. Is essence this to me was partially a study on the fashion of Russia in the 1900 as well as a chance to play around with 'colored' paper and how to use black and white to make most of what I had with me. I hope to make another piece like this again in the future, hopefully have it perhaps even more extravagant. This piece was made using.

See you there~ day 1 (my inktober drawings this year will have paint too :))

I am a huge fan of this show! The drawing is done with ballpointpens and the skin colour looks a bit strange since I only had a red, blue, black, pink, purple and green pen. Thank you very much for looking at my drawing!!

These are the results from a request to create a piece based on a fathers son's nicknames. The older brother is the moon, second the bear, third the bird. Added the stars as the parents. His first request was of a tattoo of sorts ...but I struggled and my drawings kept turning into children illustrations. I so enjoyed the challenge and it gave me an opportunity to honor the love of family. At the same time, it was hard to associate them into a tattoo:) .

Some drawings from a figure drawing meetup. The model had some very interesting poses ;). I used a Pendel brushpen for the drawings.

My favorite car! I just love it!

Did a doodle sketch. Didn’t really know where this idea was going when I started it then it grew into a kind of cityscape sunset in the end. I was trying to sort of do a bridge around the buildings in an abstract unidimensional way. Well thought it was creative and different in the end.

Mixed media - watercolor, graphic marker, pen. Artwork is a piece of Hybrid Mythologies stories, to be featured in the book by the same name.

It’s been a crazy summer that’s kept me from posting much, although I’ve kept fairly consistent drawing in my sketchbook. With a cross country move and taking our oldest child to college, we’ve burned about 4,500 miles on the road in the past month. After getting our son settled in his dorm yesterday, my husband and I have become official members of the Empty Nesters Club - giving inspiration to today’s sketchbook entry. • • • #sketch #sketching #sketchbook #sketchbookpage #sketchbookart #sketchaday #dailysketch #ink #penandink #pensketch #illustration #illustrator #watercolor #watercolorsketch #watercolorpainting #emptynesters #nest #birdnest

Found a fun canvas so I decided to do a fun little tree frog.

"Facade" depicts the duality between constructed appearance and natural image. The old woman manifests societal idealization of beauty within her headpiece, burdened by the intricacy. Aesthetically pleasing symbols around her echo the notions of her manifested identity. This facade subconsciously contributes to continuing superficial values.

This is a piece I made during a trip in British Columbia. I used colored pencil, watercolor and acrylics.

Just experimenting. Acrylic paint wash, pen and ink, gouache and Posca pens

Mixed media work on paper. Intuitive cartography of a hybrid myth.
