3D Drawing - 3D Pencil

Spring vibes in my watercolour sketchbook. Done with watercolours, gouache paint and pencil crayon.

Trying gouache in my mixed media sketchbook.

A tribute to Leith in Edinburgh, a place that never stops inspiring me for allsorts of reasons.

This colorful painting was created using gouache paint to give an illustrative design feel. The subject is a cow painted using non-local colors like pink and violet, contrasting the orange sky background. I love the small clover flower the cow appears to be smelling in the foreground of this piece. For more in my gallery, please visit ArtsyDrawings.com!

New year, same old stuff from me folks.

It’s a Billy Connolly inspired piece this time around…
