sketchbook

Keeping occupied pre-Samhuinn and Halloween night yet again, because I can’t keep the pen down this time around in the immediate run-up for some reason!

I mean, I’m going with option c) myself!

Big Al Lopez from Sktchy. Pen and watercolour. This was only meant to be a doodle in a corner of a sketchbook to knock the cobwebs off as I haven't done pen and watercolour in months, but I quickly got enthused with it and really like the end result!

Ghosts, narwhals… is it that time of year again?

This one more or less speaks for itself!

Almost forgot about this one from last week!

This Banksia nut was found in southern Western Australia, one of the many varieties of Banksia found in Australia.

The forest nearby is full of baby banksias growing in poor gravelly/sandy soil which they do better in. The little one was growing on the edge of a gravel road.

I drew this with alcohol markers and colored pencils. The outlines were drawn with ink brush pen.

Banksia grandis is a banksia that is of medium height with large candles. The eyes contain seeds that come out with fire.

The Prickly Hakea is an interesting plant that grows in southwestern Western Australia.

Banksia grandis is a large species of banksia found in the southwest region of Western Australia. It grows quite commonly in nearby forest.

Says it all I suppose?

This was a fun project in Sketchbook Revival.

It’s a daft pun, I know, but still!

Return of the space whales (yet again)!

Getting inspired by Blixa Bargeld from Einsturzende Neubaten and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, as you do!

Tonight, I’m getting ideas from Lando Calrissian and all things Star Wars… :-)

Much Ultravox was listened to as I made this particular one…

That I am, hahaha!

It's Makima! From the anime "Chainsaw Man". The pose could of been better...but I like how it came out in the end.

Fuschia flowers from the garden which are a favourite with the New Holland Honeyeaters.

This little pine cone was missing one side and looks like it’s been eaten, revealing a repeating pattern in the centre of the cone.

The nearby pine tree has dropped quite a few pine cones, all in different states of decay. I enjoy looking at the different shapes, sizes and colours of each cone, each with its unknown story.

Inwardly things…

Marker, fineliner and coloured pencil in marker sketchbook.

Something pertaining to twins and symmetry (figuratively speaking)…
