Charcoal Drawing

Doodles from my sketchpads during March. The coloured floral, has been doodled in black fine liner then overlaid with pastel pencils.

One of my favorite things about being a parent is listening to the stories my daughter makes up and really trying to encourage her imagination. She has named a bunch of the cacti which line our windowsills, while our cacti are very accustomed to their suburban lives they also like a bit of adventure, this is a group of them taking a family vacation to the desert.

In an attempt to be much more consistent with my drawing practice (and to tackle my insecurities about showing people my drawings) I am hoping that posting some of my sketches online will help keep me accountable. So day 1 sketch, I managed to find a very cheap used college set of Rotring Rapidograph pens online, when they arrived today I was delighted to see that they had NEVER been used! After a bit of a happy dance I got a couple of the pens assembled and started to figure out how they work. This is a quick sketch on tracing paper not that I was tracing anything I just need to invest in better paper with less tooth to be able to use these pens without having ink flow issues.

My take on #Japicasso 's #DrawThisInYourStyle challenge of her beautiful roaring 20's girl. Totally inspired and happy to keep practicing my digital art skills.

Done with graphite on a pad of paper from a hotel

Done with Prismacolor Colored Pencil on Toned Tan Paper.

I wanted to do an original piece since I usually draw from reference, I hope you all enjoy.

Added some color to an ink sketch from the recording session I recently attended.

My entry for the Urban Explorer drawing challenge.

I've combined Inktober and Drawlloween to create a bunch of big ink-wash paintings of horror themes. I'm really excited about these!!! I can't wait to have 31!
