out

Quick doodle of a bee as I watch them outside on the cherry blossoms.

Since I can’t sit inside my favorite coffee shops and draw, I’m drawing them from the outside. This is the first in the series.

102 years ago, another pandemic raged across the globe. My latest comic is all about what we can learn from the 1918 “Spanish Flu” (written by Sarah Mirk + Eleri Harris). Check out the rest of the story on The Nib! thenib.com/1918-spanish-flu

This is my cat lemon! I used charcoal and pastel chalk pencils for this piece.

Doodled this after my husband died of cancer. It's not only about embracing loneliness. It's about embracing all areas of my life which I have considered dark and not user friendly. Faber Castel black pen and a scribble of purple

It finally was nice out again today so I dressed up in my new Adidas gear that I haven't gotten to wear much yet and took a 2 mile walk. Decided I looked cute enough to doodle a selfie.

Basically: 1. I joined Quarantine Art Hangout, 2. The artists posted an assignment using the colour palette, 3. I made this, 4. I submitted it. :D

I did set up the ingredients for an Easter bread with raisins and nuts, so i could make a sketch of it before i made the dough. While the dough was resting i worked it out in pen and ink.

Colored pencil drawing on bristol of a golden pothos clipping in a glass of water. Visit https://youtu.be/5MZRA0jmGD4 for a time lapse video of the making of the drawing.

a little doodle to tell about the lockdown

I do all my work with spray paint. I’m pretty new to painting but I really enjoy it. I have a few other pieces up on my Instagram so if you like this one check me out @alex_bowen_

I designed a keychain with stars around it and decided to copy and paste those stars onto a new canvas and make a new doodle out of it.

Digitally-colored ink doodles. Characters from She-ra and the Princesses of Power with outfit redesigns.

I watched a virtual wildflower walk yesterday, and it reminded me that it's spring and beautiful things are happening quietly all over the place. This is a plant emerging from the snow at a hot spring in Mammoth on a Valentine's trip just before I found out I was pregnant.

Marker Kinda bleed a little but otherwise turned out nice. I also don’t know how to move it so it’s not sideways whoops...

Hi. I would appreciate some constructive critics about...this.

I hope everybody is doing well in this days. Sending health and happiness to everyone out there ♡♡

Horse drawing coming out of darkness into the light.

This is a self-portrait. I didn't use a mirror or a picture here. This is what I look like in my own memories. It's a bit misleading, I think I am skinnier than the drawing suggests, but that doesn't feel like me. I have been overweight for years and I feel like I am too skinny at the moment. I feel like I should be curvier like in the drawing. This is about body-image, body-dysmorphia even. I do have those clothes, glasses and haircut. This work is pastel on paper (it's quite big, but I don't have a measure closeby)

A flower I drew and colored with the supplies to the right love how it came out.

These old Toronto Streetcars are now out of commission so I captured a sketch of it on Queen Street West

Tired these himi gouache paints for the first time and I honestly really like them love how the painting came out

so i think am panicking '' a little'' about everything in my life and insecure about my art as well .. but i will just keep trying .. as i always do.

I think Art is the only good thing came out of religion. Maybe centuries from now when science will only be the thing people believe in, we will finally appreaciate the art we've created out of religious competency. At that time we are living out there in space because of the nuclear disaster we've made on earth making it inhabitable for us to live. Because somebody thought that his god is better than somebody else's. So now revisiting after centuries, looking at the marvels our ancestors have created make us hope that always good things come out of bad things. We just have to search for it.

This piece came out in an attempt to make sense of the world around me after discovering that I have autism and a few processing disorders. I’ve always had a hard time in relation to people and now it makes sense, but wrapping my mind around who I am and what people want is a challenge. Acyrlic paint. Layering Inspired by learning oil painting.

Maine Coon Kitten, drawn with fineliners and alcohol markers. Took 3 and a half hours to complete. Super happy with how this came out, it was my first time using alcohol markers for an artwork.

Original 11”x14” Acrylic on canvas. For sale. It’s all about vices man.

This is how I feel about New Years.
