pen and ink

Got to work early today so I stayed in the car and drew the truck parked across my car.

Ink and watercolor sketch of a scruffy cat.

Another doodle realised for my personal 100 Days Project.

2nd series of my favorite artwork, from ‘The Goodbye Series’. Ink on cardboard, A5 size.

Thinking of making this into a wall paper, have been drawing lots of trees as so many near me have been getting cut down lately.

Doodle over a 1939 Life magazine cover. I used A permanent black marker and some gel pens for the finish.

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

8x12 acrylic and ink on wood with wooden frame.

Got some new colored fineliners :)

I rarely draw on paper, and mostly it's all sorts of little people or my characters in a silly style.

Inktober Day 4 sketch. No prompts. No, you didn't miss Day 3. There was a lot of bleed-through that messed up the sketch. It happens.

No prompts for me this year. I'm just drawing 31 animal portraits in ballpoint pen.

Squiggles and wiggles from the weekend. India ink and Posca pen in Moleskine 8.25x11.75 sketchbook.

My first drawing in black ink only

THE SHIELD from Stories for Nighttime and Some for the Day by Ben Loory. "And the remembrance of that place seems to spur him on, and suddenly he’s picking up the pace. Suddenly he’s jogging down the middle of the road, and then he breaks into a run. And then he’s running as fast as he can, and it feels like he’s about to take off. By the time the man gets to the cheap side of town, he’s never felt so good in his life. And he blows right by that dingy apartment and off into wide open space." https://www.instagram.com/p/CguFREoucBj/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Another little practice run - drawings from my head with no sketching beforehand. A bit risky, but results can astonish.

Once again playing with shapes, colours, marks, and loads of squiggly, smudgy ink lines. No pressure. Just trying to get back into splashing around with paint and seeing what emerges.

Per special request :) this is my method for crosshatching. Feel free to comment and share your ideas.

"I take a step outside and I breathe the air, and I slam the door, and I'm on my way. I won't lay no blame, I won't call you names. 'Cause I've made my break and I won't look back; I've turned my back on those endless games." Although I'm a bit late, May 1st was Decision Day (congrats to everyone in the class of 2021!), and I'm proud to say I'll be a Blue Demon this fall (a very sciencey one at that).

I've wandered Brechfa forest in Carmarthenshire on several occasions, but have only seen a very small part of what this huge forest has to offer. I'm hoping that once travel restrictions are lifted, I can get back out there and explore more. Pen on sketchbook paper (6"x8")
