"She stopped to speak to him, altering her mind, and went on her way." Trying to learn more about Kay Nielsen's style. He illustrated folk and fairy tales in the early 1900s for Grimm and Disney and others. I love his dark/moody style with everything so flowy, elongated, elegant, and tragic. And his amazing compositions.

Drawing From the series inspired zentangle art, made with a fine liner, pencils and using a digital image of my doll. dimensions are double x 14/9 cm

In my Blue Star sketchbook serious art has been interrupted by two cartoon characters I came up with years ago that I drew for my university student newspaper. They're back! Adolescent silliness returns with the adventures of Hardball and Riley. There's a bit of allegory at work in this story, so it's not as infantile as it first seems. They are certainly fun and my main characters are very easy to draw. I do sometimes spend too much time on the background.

Just experimenting with different styles. This was done in pen and ink with a black paint pen for the thick lines.

3rd version, I promise this is the last time! Experimenting with colour and style and doing things differently

Continuous line image of a figure sitting next to a circular mirror and their reflection within it.

Fine liners used for this drawing

Continuous line drawing of a figure on a land line telephone.

Pen on lined paper, I liked the aesthetic of this, what would normally be writing by pen familiarly associated with this lined paper, is instead a loosely sketched portrait.

I have found my new love in playing with the Glass Ink Pen where I can easily achieve specific lines that are hard to make with a regular pen. Here I am working to gain confidence in my permanent line work where I can't erase every second. I am also working to gain experience in cross hatching. which is very difficult.
