Sometimes I like to draw things in the reverse (filling in the light areas, leaving the dark areas bare) and then flip them to see how I did. Today's warmups turned out pretty well. My favorite is the kid on the top, whose head & hair echo the strawberry shape. I wish I'd distinguished the girl's legs from the dog's body on the left more, but overall, not bad.

I had an idea to create illustrations of fruit set in autumn 2017, and have been working on the realization of this idea throughout February/March 2018. In all, I have created 11 illustrations: apple, apricot, banana, cherry, grape, lemon, orange, pear, plum, tomato, watermelon. Using rapidograph to form the shape, I am coloring my works digitally in Adobe Photoshop. Here is an apricot!

I wanted the eyes to look real and the rest of her to be more abstract. Made of shapes, patterns and colors. Inner shapes and forms that we see if we look at a person closely.

This 11" x 14" bold, dynamic, geometric abstract makes a unique statement. Lines and curves, angles and shapes in stark black and white convey the arbitrary, yet methodical . . . random, yet systematic nature of the universe . . . and our lives.

While on my drive home, at each red light, I drew in my sketchbook without looking. All shapes and things were from things I was seeing as I drove home. I then colored it in.

A tribute to Wassily Kandinsky. Painters do lots of doodling. Kandinsky played around with certain shapes again and again, so I thought I would too. I took shapes from lots of his paintings and moulded them into a doodle. Kandinksy was very meticulous wit

New class, Sketching for Animators and illustrators, started last Saturday. I do a lot of trace overlays on students existing work. This was just adding more believable shapes and changing the pose slightly. I really like this class since we get to cover

A more unusual interpretation of the mermay theme some of us are fond of. Also, new sketchbook time is fast approaching!

Life in lockdown/business as always.

A fairly special one for me this week, as today’s post is inspired by what would have been the time of Beltane celebrations. As it is, we celebrated at home in our own little ways, and in the case of myself indulging in my usual habits! Drinking and of course drawing, the usual stuff...

“Hikyaku - literally "fleet feet" or "flying feet." These running messengers played a critical role in delivering items and messages, given that in Japan's mountainous terrain, other modes of transportation, like horses or carriages, weren't very practical.”

Enlightenment works in mysterious ways.

Visual jamming, nothing new here! Also, hello February.

For a long period had viewed cryptocurrency as both a horizon of possibility and a landscape fraught with peril. My investment in XRP was meant to be a deliberate and disciplined step toward financial independence grounded in careful research and measured reasoning. Yet despite vigilance I became entangled in one of the most calculated frauds I have ever encountered.The ordeal began with an unsolicited approach from a man who styled himself as a broker. He spoke with eloquence about volatility cycles, algorithmic trading and insider strategies that promised to turn market unpredictability into consistent profit. The platform he introduced appeared impeccably crafted with real-time charts, seamless dashboards and a professional façade designed to inspire confidence. His promise was irresistible: daily profits, exponential growth and supposedly guaranteed returns. Though instinct urged caution, ambition and misplaced trust compelled me to transfer $85,000 worth of XRP.At first the illusion was flawless. My balance multiplied at a dizzying pace supported by polished reports and reassuring communication. I convinced myself I had made the right decision. But the moment I tried to withdraw the deception unraveled. Excuses surfaced such as verification delays, system maintenance and compliance reviews. The pretexts grew increasingly elaborate until without warning the entire platform disappeared. My login failed, the website dissolved and the so-called broker vanished into digital oblivion. My funds were gone.The financial blow was heavy but the deeper wound was humiliation knowing I had been manipulated so completely. In my desperation to find recourse I discovered Salvage Asset Recovery. Unlike the fraudsters their team projected candor and expertise. They offered no grandiose guarantees, only a clear plan of action: trace the stolen assets across the blockchain, analyze wallet addresses and engage with exchanges to intercept and freeze funds before they vanished into anonymity.Their pursuit was methodical. Using advanced forensic techniques they followed every digital footprint, identified laundering attempts and compiled evidence robust enough to withstand scrutiny. They kept me informed at every stage, never exaggerating progress, only presenting facts. Weeks later against all my expectations, Salvage Asset Recovery succeeded in recovering $70,000 worth of XRP. Though not the entirety of my loss it was an extraordinary victory and proof that justice in the digital wilderness is still possible.This reshaped my perspective. In cryptocurrency greed is the trap and vigilance the shield. Yet with the right expertise recovery can be achieved. For their relentless dedication, integrity and results I remain profoundly indebted to Salvage Asset Recovery. You can connect with them via below Telegram +16592200206

A black chair nearby, along with festive decorations like a fabric Santa Claus and candy canes, enhances the Christmas spirit. The woman in the image radiates a gentle yet captivating beauty, with her long, flowing black hair and a charming sideways gaze.

Jules_sp Ocs, learning different body types is hard but better than changing their overall shape to be "easy"

A tree frog with a twist. This tree frog has trees growing from it. This is very rough and I hope to actually properly draw it out at some point. I based the general shape of the frog on another piece of art I did (which is on my blog site) where I started with a painted green splodge which my imagination decided was a frog.

"This digital artwork represents two snakes coiled in a helix, symbolizing the indissoluble union between physical and mystical life. The intertwined shapes evoke the structure of DNA, reflecting the fusion of science and spirituality and inviting reflection on how these dimensions are woven into the fabric of life."
