sketchbook

I have avoided social media for a couple of months now as it was making me unproductive, unmotivated and all-round less creative. I miss the community of creative social media so I have made this account to post my art anonymously: good or bad; finished or not; unedited and unfiltered. I hold back a lot when making art and even more so when publishing it. This is an opportunity to change that. This is a quick self-portrait just to force myself into creating anything today.

Pemaquid Point Lighthouse in Maine

You Can’t See Me~ Painted this today in my sketchbook :) it was cold for the first time this morning so wanted to paint something autumnal.

Dried lavender, using charcoal pencil. It smeared in my sketchbook later on, but I'm okay with that.

ink on paper. I used Micron ink pens to doodle this kitty, and to make the hatching/crosshatching. Stay tuned for more doodles on Sketchbook A :3

The austral pygmy owl (Glaucidium nana) or Chuncho is a species of owl in the family Strigidae. It is found in Argentina and Chile.

I hate drawing hair

My little fun series of everyday food during quarantine just to make it more cosmic ;) This one sketch a day approach helps with my long break in drawings! :) Sketchbook, coffee and ink.

People click pictures to remember and tell stories of their adventures on the trip. I want to tell my travel stories through doodles. This is my first attempt at them, and looks like i would stick to making these on my travels. This one is for the 4 day trip to Dharmashala, Himachal Pradesh, India. A 4 day trip of adventures captured in form of a doodle comic strip.

This is Avengers logo with some colour, it's special.

Watercolor rainbow carrots in my sketchbook.

It still needs a lot of improvements. I uploaded it anyway because I want to deal with this art account as my sketchbook, I want you to see my progress along the way.

Study from Pierre-Narcisse Guérin masterpiece "Aurora et Cephalus"

An ancient doorway that someone has forgotten over time ?

Drawing done with graphite pencils, loved the face expressions

In wanting to get active with my fellow doodler community, I wanted to stop in and introduce myself. My name is Dalton Stark, I live in Texas, and i'm a doodle addict, and an advocate for the possibility of anything. For me, doodling is my purest state of being human. My sketchbooks are a very sacred place for me to practice this expressive and arcane form of imagination meditation, which I'm always trying to find more excuses to spend more time in. It is to me, all about intuition, making discoveries, surprising yourself, having fun and maybe even making yourself and others smile or laugh sometimes. I look forward to being a part of this beautiful inky ecosystem with y'all, here are some very secret sketchbook spreads.
