nature

Just a cute little linocut style hedgehog.

#Swollen is the word for #inktober #day17. Because the city I live in is swollen from cars, buildings, humans, rats, pigeons, dirt and trash I considered the word to be proper for the problem of urbanization. Even if it's a natural transformation, it comes with a lot of issues. I see it as a concrete and steel monster eating the nature that stands in its way. © Maria!Bălan, 2018

SMELL OF THE NATURE, NATURE LOVER

I've been having a lot of prickly thoughts lately...but at least there's still the tiny bee who visits occasionally.

The Super Bloom is still going in SoCal! On the trail are poppies, daisies, alyssum and now the mustard grass is in bloom. My process was an iPhone photo, then a drawing with color and then collage in Photoshop.

Done with posca's markers, pentel brush and fineliners

Digitally made pattern of gingko biloba leaves using the sketch on my last post as a starting point.

Walking along and then there's a moose...

A piece from my vernal pools/treescapes studies I have been working on in correlation to my interest in local creature found in our woodlands. I adopted the use of a circle one night, wanting to frame out an idea/sketch and a wine glass happened to be close by. Since then I have used it often, loving the circle aspect.

Nature is where you become a true you, it's a place to disconnect from the world and to feel so connected to it at the same time.

(Gel Fineliner on A5 Paper) My opinion of the whole Inktober challenge. There's something to be said for the rebellious nature of drawing a simple cock and balls!
