For the past two months ive been participating on the #drawthisinyourstyle challege at instagram. Here are some of the ones i made. Many more on my instagram account @mjdaluz_illustration

Inspired by my 90s nostalgia and the movie "Reality Bites"

Was listening to ambient music and felt inspired to doodle this blue girl.

Mixed media (pretty much every type of pen/marker I have is in these somewhere). Recovering from surgery last month, slowly learning to sit upright again, thinking about flowers. :)

Calico kitty in my sketchbook

Trees at the end of the driveway, with marker and colored pencil.

An ink and pencil drawing of a tiger.

Sketchbook spread, visual diaries. Collage, acrylics, Posca, graphic markers.

Kind of a style experiment. Took the elements from my 70's sci-fi book cover homage and remixed them in a more stylized, painterly way.

Bloom where you are painted

pendrawing, digital coloring.

My usual warm up - doodles on more or less random blobs of paint. Watercolour on paper, A3

My latest and first with digital oils. - Magpie in Snow Scene with the PC and ArtRage6 App. I hope you like it as much as I do.

Experimenting with things from my sketchbook and digital way to glue everything together

Casey the Puppet. This painting captures the essence of a puppet lots of older Canadians will remember. A strange genderless creature with a dog puppet companion. A puppet with an outspoken personality that I remember as a kid wondering how it got away with saying what it did. The painting has a Canadian stamp to commemorate the puppet's roots.

This drawing was done as a request for someone, the horse that I drew is an award winning show horse named Black Prince. This was my second attempt at realism using black fine liners and pencils, personally I think I didn't do too bad.
