I've been seeing lots of new bird species around my neighbourhood, like robins and magpies! I like to think this bird is watching me from the sea of uncertainty, and looking at all the things I will create in the future and secretly telling me to go on, without me knowing how they will turn out. And strangely, that is some kind of motivation for me. : .

In late 2018, after some time not doing any artwork, I really wanted to get back into it. I fancied doing something different and invested in some soft pastels. This was my first go with them and it was a hell of a learning curve about how they adhere to the paper, and how they blend. I'm not really sure the pastels I was using were soft enough for the look I wanted, but I like how loose this one turned out.

Cefan Sidan is an immense sandy beach in Carmarthenshire. The site of several shipwrecks, with some to still be found in the sands, the beach stretches for miles. This view is in winter looking towards the Gower.

I stumbled across this dilapidated coach house that would have once been part of the Glynhir estate while exploring the public footpaths around Llandybie. I loved the way nature had reclaimed it.

First sketch I did in the 20 years since leaving school. The beautiful Cenarth Waterfalls on the border between Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire, Wales.

It's hard to escape emotions. The normal part of life is to be braver when you're depressed. It's like the trapped pigeons. Up in the clouds, longing for freedom.

Just learning feed back always welcome

Graphite and Watercolor. I enjoy making the splatter watercolor marks and I find myself attempting to add them to drawings that it doesn't really go with. lol oh well.

Watercolor Illustration for a children book.

A mixture of blue green with pink and various other colors done with watercolor.

I drew this as a way to let those who are new to the world of #amousenamedpeter get to know the characters’ names

This is a section of a very large drawing. The entire drawing was a massive doodle that could be used in a children's book one day.

Messing around with watercolor paint and did some altering in photoshop afterwards.

Just a little vent art I did. Sometimes life is a little sucky, but there's always going to be ups and downs. Drawn with FireAlpaca.

A friend commissioned me to redraw a small inktober doodle into a 11x17 version. Pen and ink with black watercolor. Does my larger version still have the same lighthearted feel as the original doodle?

I spent 4 days working on this drawing using nothing but my laptops trackpad. I took inspiration from drips of paint and then stretched them apart to span between where bones should be. The eye contour area was designed that way in order for it to stretch and collapse almost the same as how muscles contract and relax.

Graphite portrait of Luke Skywalker.

Acrylic on wood. Ahsoka is by far my favorite Star Wars character, so painting her was incredibly enjoyable.

can't face it (watercolour)

Who wouldn’t want to meet a garden fairy?

Whimsical portrait. Fantasy. Mixed media. Cheap paper, cheap watercolor. It’s all I have for now until I upgrade.

Up close with the crouching tiger. A digital illustration using Clip Studio Paint on Wacom tablet

This drawing was done as a request for someone, the horse that I drew is an award winning show horse named Black Prince. This was my second attempt at realism using black fine liners and pencils, personally I think I didn't do too bad.

I tried coming up with a color palette from a color wheel. Trying to learn more about color theory. I'm actually 100% self taught, if you don't count the plethora of YouTube videos I've watched over the years. Drawn with FireAlpaca.

WHALE

Whimsical portrait. NO REFERENCE for the face. Reference for the flower “Camellia”. Watercolor. I jave used cheap paper and cheap supplies for years. It has come to my attention that using better quality products produces better results. Well, stay tuned I’m hoping to make even better works!
