Ink polar bears illustration

We continue the #inktober environmental issues series with the #day19 word: #scorched and for this word I tried to illustrate the Urban Heat Island effect. This takes place in metropolitan areas that are warmer than the rural areas surrounding them. The main cause of the UHI effect is the alteration of land surfaces (concrete and asphalt). Heat waste produced by people and their tools (like vehicles and industry) is another cause and also the decreased amount of vegetation. UHIs often have lower air and water quality that have a negative effect on the environment of these areas. It is also considered to be a possible contribution to global warming. © Maria!Bălan, 2018

The third painting in my series of three succulents :)

A blue succulent painting I did a few months back. Part 2 of a series of succulents.

Sand, ink and water.

The same sketch after it was painted

inspired by Waterboys song

Created with a black pen on paper.

sitting in a japanese restaurant and these two caught my eye! pen, ink, watercolor ane gouache on paper

Experimenting today with an oil transfer drawing technique. The red and purple lines are oil drawn/transferred to hot press 140 pound watercolor paper with watercolor applied. The oil resists the watercolor.

Since aquaman released and my exams got over, thought of creating aqualady, rising to unite the green, the blues!

This is a “Draw This in Your Style” sketch I did for artofflore_ on Instagram of her OC, Stella.

Watercolor and ink

Repeat patterns trying out different brushes and ink-to-water ratio. India ink on yellow cardstock.

Another batch of sketches from my time in the album recording session earlier this week. Noodler’s ink blue loaded in my fountain pen, then applying a bit of water with a water brush. I like the bleeding that occurs.

A fun thing I just had to try, doodling/painting on small used tea bags.
