I was tired of carrying around a bunch of Microns. I want one or two refillable pens so I started with buying a new Lamy AL-Star Fountain Pen. I love it. I got the medium nib and am able to get a nice range of line width from it. This and maybe a fine nib and I'll be all set for a travel kit. This is the first page I drew with it.

Watercolors and fineliners on Aquarelle, 300 GSM. Fantasy has always appealed to me ever since I was a kid, and I often find myself lost and wandering around in the fantastical world of "could've been's"

My entry for the Urban Explorer drawing challenge.

Personal project with one of my little moon children characters . As usual, coffee and ink.

Drew this for a professor that mentored me on my first research paper! You can also find me on facebook www.facebook.com/sonialaiart for WIP and updates!

Gouache and ink in my mini sketchbook

Just a random drawing with Daler rowney FW ink.

A couple of winter tree drawings.

I have been really enjoying this motif lately of mixing geometric shapes and linework with the fluidity of watercolor.

This image was created to be a limited print to go along with my new book, 10 Years of Daily Drawings.

Pinecones watercolour

The gorgeous Spot. Drawn using my trusty 0.03 and 0.05 fineliners on medium cartridge.

Drawn in PS, colored in Escape Motions Rebelle.

Finished full version of an image I did in three parts, adding to it to create three separate images.

I came across these Sepia Fine Liners! Had so much fun experimenting with them. Looking forward to creating some more images with these.

Summertime. Who doesn’t love crabs?

Morning sketch. So I was waiting for a go ahead on a 20 illo project. One of the illustrations in the project is a pair of “Chucks” so in the meantime I did a much crazier than they will be wanting version. Sometimes you just have to please yourself without all the boundaries.

Try it: Take a sharpie, give yourself five-minutes on the clock and see what doodle you come up with.

Mountain landscape in the fall after a storm.

Outside my drawing table window are straight and weeping birches. We lost one of the birch trucks and, tragically, a beautiful OLD Japanese maple during an ice storm a few years ago. The third trunk is still in my mind's eye.

Finally finished! This project took many long hours (about 8-9) and reduced my brand new 6B pencil to nothing but a tiny stub... “Black Gold” is done in graphite on 80 lb drawing paper. If you are interested in prints please contact me via my website.

I've been so impressed with the ball point pen art that I have seen on this site, that I decided to give it a try. This is a Betta fish (Siamese fighting fish) done in red, blue, and purple ball point pens. Obviously, I have much to learn....but it was great fun and I have ordered some more colors since I plan on experimenting more. I've enclosed a photo of the work in progress and the various reference photos I used. The colors are more true to the final scan than in the flash photo of my drawing table.
