Started a new artwork inspired by Ben Reneer's song "Between These Walls"

This is the first attempt at drawing my wife’s feet. I thought I would try to draw her feet because they are so hard to draw (and they’re cute).

This is about the sensation of finding some hope. He hated his life so much. Got frustrated about the life choices. This boy here is looking for some HOPE in his life. Then the sun shines. Looking at the beauty, he refreshes himself

The title comes from words I saw in a dream this weekend past. Chinese food before bed = interesting results for the sleepy mind.

Space cases and stegosaurs (I think).

Welcome doodle for the Year of the Rabbit!

I feel only positive emotions after drawing this landscape. It's a bit wintery, snowy, and magical. I love the background texture. But I still need to work on the details. Recently, I discovered the miraculous power of gouache. I ordered paints a few days ago (still waiting for the shipment). That's why there are only digital versions for now. I have already purchased a course on the Domestika platform. I'm going to try my skills at traditional painting on paper. It will be a big challenge. Fortunately, I have a great teacher :) Thanks, Ruth Wilshaw, for your Domestika course and daily inspiration to create! Day 6 of #whimsicalByMamaminia art challenge.

Elias Rosenshaw 1/22/2023 Acrylic paint, paint marker, and pen on paper.

This is the third page of my attempt at 100 heads, this is Ra the sun god from the original Stargate movie. I was gifted a VHS cassette tape from “santa” back in the mid nineties, of which I still have. I watched that movie so many times my parents nearly burned the tape…

Completed my first commission of the year — inspired by my Dream Tree mural in Bristol, for a couple from the neighbourhood who walk by the mural nearly every day

“Following the sun, to find the one / Who's giving you the wings to fly… / Following the sun, like everyone / Searching for a sign of hope…” — Song lyrics by Enigma. Watercolor, ink and colour pencil on watercolour paper

Started a not-so-random random doodle. ("Not-so-random" because it's Chinese New Year soon, and it will be the Year of the Rabbit! :P)

From our little part of the world to yours, warmest winter wishes! This piece was created 'Just For Fun' with Colored Pencils. It was so relaxing and enjoyable to doodle one house each evening!

Oodles of doodles of my penguin pals…

First commission of the year in progress — inspired by my mural in Bristol, for a couple from the neighbourhood who walk by the mural nearly every day

This here is PenguinGirl’s attempt to justify eating more chocolate this year!

From 2021, Meadhbh massaging her neck after a long pose. Red Bic pen drawing converted to black and white in Photoshop.

Dragging through the snow On a one-girl open sled Over the hills we go… “Why aren’t we there yet?” PenguinGirl can never say NO to chocolate, and Fatty McPingoo (the fat penguin with the Harry Potter scarf) knows it all too well! I drew this in the afternoon on Christmas Eve, imagining PenguinGirl and her friends traveling in the snow to a Christmas party

Sharks deep in thought as always...

Another assembly, inspired by Japanese ASMR videos my girlfriend and I love to binge watch. :-)

Art from the depths of my sketchbook.
