For #inktober & #witchtober, a #voodoowitch

"Without peace, all other dreams vanish and are reduced to ashes." ~ Jawaharlal Nehru, Address to the United Nations (28 August 1954)

"Unthought-of Frailties cheat us in the Wise." ~ Alexander Pope, Moral Essays (1731-35), Epistle To Temple, line 69. I really had to ponder this quote and figure out how to illustrate it. A spider came to mind...so tiny and fragile in comparison yet invokes so much fear. Then considered a daddy long leg.

Old work finally finished. Done with graphitepencils.

I am really enjoying exploring Adobe Fresco with this year's Inktober prompts. Here are a few of my favorites.

Charcoal and graphite pencil drawing of Nelson Mandela

"When life puts rocks in your way, build something nice with them." Volksweisheit

Frail. I took the prompt as a witch looking after some frail looking flowers, using her magic to make them stronger and healthy.

Drawn for the mabgraves drawing challenge. Done with ink and posca markers

White raven created with graphite pencils, HB pencil, Winsor and Newton black ink, acrylic paint, white gel pen and Crayola crayons.

This is my attempt to draw my cat. It looks nothing like her but at least it looks like a cat.

Inspired by one of my cats who is black with bits of tortoiseshell coming through. I used black ink and apricot Crayola crayon for this.

#Mindless prompt for Inktober. I'm late with uploading here, so if you'd like to see my illustrations for the previous days and and early look at today's prompt #build check out my instagram.

"You'd rather see, me in the pen, Than me and Lorenzo rollin' in a Benz-o. Beat a police out of shape And when I'm finished, bring the yellow tape". First playing card for a musical game of fours.

Woops forgot to upload it yesterday, so now, everything will be offset. The Hair Rope character are it again, this time, Anka and a mysterious and terrifying dark shape in the wood.

Day 2 #mindless, #Inktober 2019. No forethought or sense, just space. It's good to be mindless sometimes but remember to be aware, and compassionate with those around you, especially those closer to you. You never know what other people are dealing with. Try to be kind. Daily drawing #643

Rasputin- the goat with the longest horns. Assignment for illustration class.

It's always turning):

Back in May, I wanted to do the #mermaychallenge, an online event where artists draw and share their mermaid illustrations during the entire month of May. But I knew I had limited time, with everything happening that month (buying new home/moving/fixing up the old home to sell), and a fulltime job. I created Mer-Kat, a hybrid kitten/mermaid. I felt this was such a fun new character to explore. Life underwater with a feline-based personality.

I did this large canvas with oils.

In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love. - Marc Chagall

The one year drawing challenge is on progress...

Here's a watercolor portrait that brings back memories.
