pencil

Lazy Sunday afternoons and all things Beatles influenced...

Be enlightened through all your emotions... #embracingnightmares I haven’t drawn in so long. It’s good to get somethings going again.

Playing around with colored pencils

I've been experimenting with pencil drawings for a while now. I really like the shading. It's addicting

A silly watercolor sketch, I know, but there's a lot tied to this little thing. There are so many bittersweet feelings lately. I tend to avoid putting a numerical value to time, I don't like the count-down aspect to things, especially knowing how obsessive I can be with that. It allows me to live in some semblance of ignorance (they say ignorance is pure bliss). There's a lot of tip-toeing around what I want to say and what I'm afraid to say, or even what I'd love to explore and embrace and simply afraid to. It's something I'm not used to. It's taken me quite a while to finally sit with certain things, or even acknowledge them, and it feels like there's so much more I'm now realizing. It's odd to be so frank to some and worried that others may find out. There's a lot of shifting again, goodbyes coming soon, complicated feelings and situations.

lol i was going thru some older portfolios and i found this omg i really see the improvement

Pencil Drawing

I'm usually bad at portraits or drawing faces in general so I decided to practice a bit more and this was the result of my first serious attempt at a portrait drawing using graphite pencils and black fineliners

Je dois avoir des fleurs. Toujours et toujours.

A small fight outside a fictional Norman Castle, including arrow in the eye like King Harold, as requested. Pencil, pigment liner and colour pencil.

This drawing was lightly sketched with pencil and then drawn with a black brush pen. His nose and eyes are colored with glitter pens. A very simple drawing, yet, I hope it brightens your day just a bit.

Pencil Drawing

2020, 2021. Pencil on good drawing paper. About 17 x 23. Will be submitting this to a juried show--local and digital. Whether the pic is chosen or not, I had to follow my goal and "git er done."

A caged pigeon dreams of freedom. An art work by me created using graphite pencil and prismacolor sticks.

Mechanical pencil and cheap jotter

Monthly theme was "GOLD", so I thought about gold as a hedonistic symbol and meaning. Almost religious. I imagined a society praising hedonism as their religion.

Home Sweet Home, is a spiritual piece. There’s no place like home, a place of comfort and freedom, the person territory.

I was doing a pencil drawing and got stuck so I decided to do a digital drawing and I came across ClumsyCaity's ig page and found a DTIYS that looked like it'd be interesting to draw (https://www.instagram.com/p/CN6owa2B5Fz/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link)

Thinking ahead to loosening restrictions here in Scotland, one more day to go...

Took me a few days to complete because of other life events, and I tend to go slow, especially when I get caught up in the details. But I was discovering this was something I was eager to get back to; thinking about it through the day and figuring out how to finish it. Right now it’s on pause as I think how to do the background. :)
