life

Ink+watercolor from life

A pair of lungs being given in hands that represents my donors hands. The lungs are surrounded in flowers to symbolize the beautiful gift of organ donations. The lungs are also being represented with birds flying to symbolize life. This painting goes from dark at the bottom to lighter colors at the top to symbolize the darkness of someone’s death being transferred to saving of someone else’s life from their selfless act. I’m a lung recipient, and this is the story of my selfless donor!

A little death to get you through life.

During my school days I used to love going to the Art at lunch time. We really were able to create what ever we wanted. I used pain brush strokes, tracing paper and really explored.

The crawling undying. Expelling the rot and absorbing new life for their vicious, deadly cycles

...my pet cockatiel.

Lily's a dragon who's tired of her weather-controlling duties, so she picks up witchcraft to make life less dull.

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.

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 last male Sumatran Rhino in Malaysia has passed, yet Harpan (the baby here) still lives in the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary in Indonesia

A doodle of an astronaut who has just discovered that the only other life in the universe is a single, non-sentient fish.

Observations from an expedition to the Houston Museum of Natural Science, which features an incredible paleontology hall. I brought with me a pad of sticky notes, a couple Micron plastic nib pens, a set of Copic Markers, my fanny pack, and some headphones. Prehistoric life has been an infatuation of mine since childhood, and there is something very humbling about drawing in the shadows of these fallen giants.

Well, I'm joining the Tumblr exodus, which is unfortunate because that's where I post all my sketches! Oh well. Hello DoodleAddicts! This was half of a recent assignment for a figure drawing 2 class, to draw our model in low key lighting. :) Time: 30 mins Medium: Charcoal on Paper

I would make him a hug !

I love Pen and Ink Doodles and this was done to make me escape from what was going on in my life at the time - It works.

My sketchbook spread. This is actually a moleskin watercolor album which I'm mostly using to draw from life. This is sharp and spiky versus soft and fluffy. The models were the two of my house plants, and aim was a texture and light study.

Life is a book, and those who do not travel, read only one page!

Painting about leaving good things behind, and not missing them. It's kind of about aging and moving on. Watercolor on paper, smaller than A3.

Another street sketch. This one is of Old Street, London.

Perched between silence and song, the blue jay waits—half mischief, half mystery.
