watercolor and ink

So many steps!

Whew!!! About 50 hours of work split evenly over line work and color. I think it’s finished ( famous last words)! I’ll check on it again in a few days for any final details... and get some good camera shots instead of phone camera. .... but I’m happy!

Making snowmen is one of the most fun childhood winter memories I have. That and sledding.

A fun drawing I did of an octopus who's aspiring to be a writer. Because you know, octopuses have a lot of ink!

Been missing a color during Inktober.

Watercolour and pencil.

This is from one of my older sketchbooks. I used salt on the red watercolor paint while it was still wet to get the textured background effect.

Watercolor and ink sketch of Batman in storm.

I've been drawing a lot of mandalas lately. Circles, upon circles, upon circles! I love it! It's very soothing and meditative.

Simple black line work, on top of a bit of watercolor, because you always need a pretty watercolor background.
