Inktober Prompt: Sleep. Shaeffer Tuckaway fountain pen, Hero blue black ink

My 7 year old daughter (M.) And I did this challenge together.

A little collection of mushrooms, done with gouache in my mixed media sketchbook. The process of painting with gouache is growing on me, it feels so satisfying.

Things aren't working. They're not clicking.

Trying brushworks and brushes

Started off as something light and fun and turned into this otherworldscape. A better reflection of my mood I guess.

Done with transparent drawing ink on a coaster. Last one of the series.

Inktober Prompt: Radio. Radio operator with the code poem by Leo Marks in Morse code. (https://www.greatestpoems.com/the-life-that-i-have/)

Enjoy October! can't wait for Halloween! I'll have the speedpaint video until tomorrow

Inktober, day 2: "Wisp". Brush pens and posca markers on coloured A4. This is inspired by the wisps in Ultima rpgs that I used to play as a wee bairn. That’s where I learned the word "wisp". In fact, it’s pretty much the only association I still have. ;)

Inktober Prompt: wisp. Drawing is about 3 x 3.5 inches. White ink on black paper.

from the "Présence - Seeds" series.

This is part of a sequence inspired by @moonchildillustrations and her #moontoberweekends prompts (this one is apple!). This was fun, I want to start incorporating more animation/ sequences on what I create. I got inspired by my mother, when she was little she was scared of eating seeds because she thought they would grow out of her ears. With that in mind, have a great October!

Experiment with gesso, on thin card. Then acrylic ink. Not the desired effect. So had fun doodling with a fine paint brush and the ink.

Morning warmup sketch/doodle with Krita. I seem to have a thing for wood nymphs exploring nature.....or maybe I have a thing for naked people in the woods? Who knows.

Superstitions: Nipples According to a strange middle-european superstition, it is possible to tell from a man's nipples whether or not he has fathered children. If they are pink in colour, then he has not - while if they are brown, then he has! https://www.instagram.com/p/CE9eRXBBeRQ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

I have metal chromatic tape dispenser. I just love the shine on it. lol, I hardly use it, I think I just love the shine.

This was inspired by portraits from the 1920's. I've read that some girls who adopted the flapper style only wore one earring because their hair covered the other ear.

We are all under the same skies as we look up to the stars... (Products are sold on Etsy too @dericacreates)

I made this based on a photograph that made me think a lot about my friends and how we connect with each other

This artwork is not really mine as I drew it from a tutorial, but I love the way the pink comes out in every way possible. I hope you too like this pinkish scenery ;)

A pattern I saw while staring at the sun through my sunglasses.

Another progress photo for your viewing. Hopefully I'll have this finished soon, but I'm very much enjoying drawing this while listening to my records... (Feedback is very much welcome!)

Hand drawn line work then digitally colored. Part of a weekly prompt challenge from my local art shop. The character is loosley based on a well know japanese octopus character.

"Helios" is a world of infernal heat and these towers are the only protection the inhabitants have against the unforgiving environment outside. -- Oils on canvas with a knife.
