Día de los Muertos (Dos): Calaveras de Azúcar

This park didn’t have enough trees so I painted this ultimate tree.

Watercolor plein air painting but my painting subject of decorative flourishes portray the vibe of this park: Relaxing ASMR sounds of barking dogs, screaming children, and screeching parrots.

A painting of a woman with seafoam green hair and a halo made of jellyfish. Himi gouache and various pens and markers on toned paper.

Ballpoint pen and Copic markers

2024, Ballpoint pen on 9” x 12” archival paper, Adobe Photoshop.

Sketching Big cats, studying anatomy and simplifying shapes for future sketches from imagination

Based on a picture of Helix pomatia I took in the neighborhood

Three attempts at drawing a mouthwatering cocktail using mainly 4 colors (and a little black)

Practicing watercolor in my sketchbook

Sylvia Sherwood from the anime Spy x Family. From reference.

Inkwash and gel pen in my square Arteza watercolour sketchbook. This kind of doodling soothes my mind.

Soft materials (charcoal, sepia and red chalk)

2023, Ballpoint pen on 5” x 8” acid free Moleskine sketchbook paper, Adobe Photoshop. First sketchbook drawing of 2024! Based on a photo of a model in a makeup company advert.

Just a little horse portrait ^-^

This sketchbook spread features a stylized pattern of colorful poppy flowers. The garden of flowers includes leaves of green, yellow and peach. The flowers are yellow with blue stems. The drawing as a whole has a whimsical and playful feel with a bright color scheme, polka dots and organic squiggle shapes, and blobs of seemingly random colors. Please check out my website ArtsyDrawings.com for more by me, Brianna Eisman. Thank you!

Rescued this book from the trash, showed it to a kid who used to have a guinea pig. He said, in a horrified voice "What a nightmare!" And so this phrase is saved for posterity. #bookassketchbooks #watercolor # guineaPigs https://www.instagram.com/p/CpsXEyeuKpY/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Studies in black and white. India ink on paper.

This is a colored pencil and ink sketch. Just because I love mountains :)

I like to carry around a tiny sketchbook. Something to jot down ideas, or scribble out a concept, with little worry about the technical application.

The red Bic pen layer converted to black and white. Model: Imani

One of my first attempts at "urban" sketching, from photo reference. Watercolour pencils and ink.
