"Billy gets there last, wiggles up a spot..." from the Graham's Up the Tree book. I grew to love these kids after drawing them so much. They sort of became real to me.

Two pairs of pears from the backyard tree. Curious to see these age in the coming weeks.

Progression 2 of 6. Spent some time here in the hair, beard, and eye. The transition in the hair from light to dark was done mainly by not adding in graphite in heavy amounts and using the pencil eraser to define the hair.

I feel kind of lost these days... I am an artist, this is who I am and this is the only thing I wanna be, but can I really do it? Can you do this, even though everyone around you say it's impossible? Do they all have a point when they say that "but you are so smart!!! Why would you wanna waist it and be an artist" thing? Other people may see my job as a dream job, but I hate it.. all I want to do is create, be an artist, be me. But is it really possible?...

First in a series of portraits of friends in tiny format (2.1 x 3.1 inches) mixing coffee, watercolor, pencils and markers.

Here is the finished book. I wrote some of my own poetry on the pages and also some excerpts from the original book.

Drawing homes is my new form of meditation. I get lost in building the structure slowly, line after line. I could do this forever...

Painted an old piece of wood that was laying around after a kitchen project.

Practicing with a dip pen. The ink wasn't waterproof :(

My STUDIO / Bat-cave / Fortress of Solitude / THINK TANK . . . when feeling creative or need a minute to myself.

Looking at other people's workspaces makes my one look boring by comparison. Anyway, here's where I spring clean my head of ideas – with all me electronics and toys and that!

One of my original pen and ink drawings. Drawn on an antique piece of paper. The piece measures 3″ Wide X 6″ Tall Signed and Titled. Comes packaged with care and a tracking number.

Watercolors & Colored pencils portrait of Amelie.

I have quite a bit of traveling planned this Summer...from NYC to Copenhagen to Venice to Berlin and a few more spots. Very much looking forward to all the different colors, cities, and cultures in the coming weeks.

Part of the 'drawing a day' series.

This was a practice sketch to try out a sketchbook I bought from the dollar store. The paper is surprisingly of excellent quality and she came out looking great!

Commission Request for a clients wife who loves Flamingos and Victoriana. What can you do? Tah Dah!!!!! This was so much fun, I feel more of these coming soon....watch this space!

Meraki - to do something with love and soul; to leave a piece of yourself in your work. Alcohol ink + lettering.

One of Kassel's Gallery spaces with hundreds of people speaking different languages. How not to draw them? ; ) My very first real travel(!) was epic! I visited a dozen galleries, lived in a house of an architect...

Pen & ink portrait of Leon Trotsky (Leib Bronstein).

This is a portrait of a mouse riding a weasel. I did this all from my imagination.

Portrait of a civil servant of the 70’s.

This sketchbook spread features a stylized pattern of colorful poppy flowers. The garden of flowers includes leaves of green, yellow and peach. The flowers are yellow with blue stems. The drawing as a whole has a whimsical and playful feel with a bright color scheme, polka dots and organic squiggle shapes, and blobs of seemingly random colors. Please check out my website ArtsyDrawings.com for more by me, Brianna Eisman. Thank you!
