Art project for school. Coke bottle study.

Another doodle realised for my personal 100 Days Project.

My underground bunker. A large table for painting and arting, and a smaller table for sewing. I'm in between projects, so the surfaces are clear: a rarety!

From post-it note to canvas. Quarantine life has got me taking some of my old doodles and turning them into paintings.

One of the 104 illustrations in #themondayfridayproject. Please search for and check out the full project on instagram

This is Selma the artist. Part of my "People Are Colorful" Project that I made using Adobe Draw on my phone.

Even lopsided plants deserve some attention.

Javan Tiger. Part of my Alphabet of Extinct Species project in which I draw an animal everyday.

Another doodle realised for my personal 100 Days Project.

These patterns are all made from drawings pulled from my 2017 sketchbook project. I studied fiber arts in grad school and learned how to do repeat patterns - the old fashioned way by cutting and taping paper together... I haven't done any in 25 years - until this month!

"Potato digger", watercolour and ink on paper, 210mm x 148mm(A5). Tiny painting made on my break from a bigger project I'm working on. The whole thing sprouted from a sketch of my small potato plant. Anyone else feels sorry for their patatoes when they sprout too much and plants them? The plants are so pretty, too!

One of commissioned project of watercolor illustration for bridesmaid's attire guide.

This is day 13 of my Movember portrait project

A project I’ve been working on for my brother.

The monsters we create A collection of creatures born from our impact and existance on Earth. This is a work in progress project, it doesn't yet have a name, but the story becomes more clear every day. Soon I will have more details about it, until then take care, this runner is taking a real shape and it's after you. He is the money maker, the greedy, the selfish buyer of unnecessary things with money he doesn't have. Sounds familyar? 7x7 cm linoprint © Maria ! Balan, 2018

These illustrations are part of an ongoing series on anxiety I started in early April 2018, as part of #The100DayProject. (See @helloanxiety_illustrated on Instagram to see more complete stories of each individual). This project is an extension of the fear illustrations I've been creating since 2012 (www.fear-illustrated).

This, not very ferocious fellow, was my social distancing Easter weekend project that I finished yesterday. A colored pencil drawing on Strathmore 400 colored pencil pad with several different wax and oil colored pencils.

2.5”x3.5” watercolor paintings for 100 days, anything goes. Had a good time and equally relieved to be finished.
