Pencile, ink on paper

Ink, pencil on paper

Finished scribbly self portrait...unless I decide to paint it, that is.

Meadhbh with her long wild red hair all over the place. 2023, 5” x 8,” Ballpoint Pen on Moleskine Sketchbook.

I made a spread for one of my favorite artists Zilla Kami. I used prisma color pencils to color it!

Ink, colored pencil, paper. 2023

It's my third illustration with a lantern theme. I had doubts while drawing this illustration. I changed the concept a few times. And I'm not sure if I got the expected effect. But I'm not afraid to share it and say: "this illustration could be better." It gives me the motivation to work harder. It gives me reasons to push myself forward. Have a creative weekend!

This is another illustration for today! Available as a limited edition of 20 digital downloads.

Gesture of the Day

Hand painted ceramic bowls

Pen drawing, ready to be painted with watercolour.

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

ink, colored pencil, paper. 2023. Letting the creative take over.

My drawings creating with a fine liner, pencil or color pencils and brush pen. Sometimes they are also different collages. They are a figment of my imagination

Another version of lantern illustration. I wanted to redraw the last illustration. But I changed the concept while drawing. It's a beauty of creativity - it can surprise. The most important thing here is that I feel so happy when I draw illustrations in this style

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).

Gesture of the Day

Day 3 of my 24 day drawing challenge

Silk and batik.

Ink, watercolor markers, paper. 2023. Sometimes I need to let myself create from my unconscious and not stick to some planned approach. The markers were a gift from my children and I really have been enjoying them!

I created this in Procreate, using a photo I took. :)

The latest prompt for the drawing challenge draw this in your style

I'm working on details and silhouettes. It's the first concept of illustration with a lantern. I'm going to do more in that style with even more details. Redrawing finished works is an excellent opportunity to develop skills and see progress. Have a lovely Wednesday!
