pen

My first art of 2021, and the first in about 7 months after feeling blocked since last year. Reference was some random photo of a house on a country lane from when I used to go for long walks in Sussex. I decided to push myself into doing some form of artwork every day. This was the result from day three.

"Chameleon, you're free again, my child." I think using song lyrics may be slightly cheating...but it is quoted text... I feel like I haven't made a 'purposeful' piece in a bit, so this drawing felt even better to make. There have been multiple ups and downs lately. Frustration, self-hate, and anxiety can take many forms, and eventually I lose sight of what they started as. I heard this song for the first time a few months ago and it's really been stuck in my head recently for various reasons. I don't know, sometimes music provides an escape that even art can't.

Missing people watching in public, and the smells and sounds of a coffeehouse. Pencil drawing with some digital painting.

Drawn with a pencil and took a while to complete.

Pencil Drawing

A doodle commissioned by my sister of her 4 dogs, showcasing their wacky personalities.

I started this oil painting in Feb 2020, and finished it in April the same year. I guess it's a tribute to Welsh beaches in winter - miles of sand, and barely anyone around.

An image for an upcoming poetry book, using lots of crosshatching with Rapidograph pens.

A small drawing of Ayano Aishi from Yandere Simulator. I made this so that I could use it as a little sticker to put on my computer :) The lighting's a bit bad but don't mind that.

Watercolors, India Ink, Gold Leaf and Micron Pens

I do browse some weird things on places like Youtube, without a doubt! Definitely in the search of inspiration 9 out of 10 times though (as you can see)...

I saw other artists use a white out pen to add small details to their finished drawing so I decided to experiment. Unfortunately, it doesn't always work.

Repeated psych-folk listenings/last night’s drunken pretensions informed a misspelling of things or two...

A quick morning sketch. Acrylic on paper

Commission drawing by TomHeye. This was a surprise present by the partner to celebrate the clients life.

This is a drawing colored with crayons and brush pens. His colors and appearance was inspired by a wolf avatar I created on an app. I completely transformed the likeness of my wolf avatar and made him half human.

2013.

Just goofing around with black acrylic paint pen and pastel.

Micron pen and sumi ink. I used the watercolor technique with salt but subbed in the sumi ink instead of watercolor.

When I grew up, I found that most of the time I was a supporting role in this world. Then at least in my own world, I'm still me, I'm my own superhero.
