Phantasy Bird. Ball point pen on a paper plate

Oil pastels on board. I used terpenoid to blend the pastels like paint on the canvas. From my latest art class.

Meet Blu. Hand drawn using 0.03 and 0.05 black fineliners on A4 medium cartridge. Such a gorgeous dog with so much personality.

The lovely Leo. Drawn with 0.93 and 0.05 fineliners on smooth A4 cartridge.

I've always loved wild Hares so creating this image was such a joy.

What do you do with a notebook planner that you never used and is about to expire? Doodle in its calendar squares of course.

I have been working on this A3 double 'Pets in a Portrait' and I can't share the finished piece until after christmas as it will be a gift. I'm so chuffed with it, so heres some sneaky peaks that don't give too much away!

Just playing with lines and pens

Colored pencil on toned paper

Another pet portrait!.......I'm just loving doing these.

This is little Finley the Border Terrier. He is a recent commission. I haven't ever drawn a dog so really enjoyed doing this whilst trying to keep to my black and white line style.

Just about there with this one. Not sure if it works as I wanted it to!

Interpretation of intresting and visual artist

Moleskine sketch.

I felt like drawing birdhouses and this came out in my large Moleskine.

What a wonderful Kirkus review! (Paired here with my favorite improper contraction.) "A thoughtful look at life, in all its beauty and strangeness. ... This delightfully deadpan musing on life urges compassion for others. Howden’s straightforward text is on the philosophical side, though also rooted in the absurd. Hahn’s spare black graphite pencil watercolor, mostly set against a white background, are imbued with humor and empathy for the pickle, with the foodstuff’s expressive eyes conveying many emotions at once.

I'm 16 yrs old beginner artist. This is my second attempt of pen sketching. Did you liked it? Rate it out of 10

This one is important to me. I had been having a very long dry spell, not making any art, and then one day last Fall, while on a road trip, camping in Mesa Verde park, I drew this using some copic grey scale brush markers and a fine liner, and it was like my vision was returning. I got really into seeing, and imagining ... Anyway since then I've still been struggling to make more work, but have been making more creative things when I do get productive, and been organizing older work... It's also interesting that I titled this piece Phase Transition back in Nov '23, and subsequently had quite a sea change of life experiences, adventure, and new visions. Now if I could just sit down and draw more...

Our host has arrived.

"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).

Crosshatching and stippling practice with a ink dip pen. Requires immense patience.

Meet Jerry Jr., the cheeseburger creature. He's sort of a slug, sort of a salamander, sort of just happy with where he is in life.

I am half way through my sixth decade, and I still like cute animals. This guy is the quintessential cute pet from so many of our childhoods.
