Sunset beach. Watercolour Study. March 21, 2020. Finally getting a bit quicker and trying to use lighter strokes and not be heavy handed.

Acrylic paint abstract

I can relate to this girl so much. She's wearing a fancy dress, at a fancy event, and she's got her sketchbook with her. That sounds like me, honestly.

Acrylic paint and hairdryer art

I put the tone in first and laid the ink on top, not a great result.

Pen and ink colored in Photoshop. It just felt to me that she was getting the morning news from the dragonfly. This image is used in my card game, "Wards of Meadowshire".

Hand drawn illustration

Second digital sketch ever. Kinda better than both first one and third one.

Back to watercolour

Shadows follow but I will move on! I have PTSD, so I am tormented by my past. Anxious for what's behind me. But I won't let that stop me! I may have "Lead in my shoes" (Dutch "Lood in mijn schoenen"), sometimes feel empty while on other times I am red from anger, nothing will stop me moving on. There will be temporary throwbacks, progress is not linear, but I will get there. I won't drown in self-pity this time.

Charcoal & pastels Digital art. Inspired by Sleep on the floor by the Lumineers

Ink pen

It’s a very tranquil street. Also, an asylum behind the white wall. And a small and very quick sketch as well.

I was sketching some emotions and one of the sketches has gone too far and developed into a complete piece.

A Fairy Tale for every child..

Today's practice

Label for a candle in copic markers

Will take me another 2 days to finish.btw the pen is real..I wish I could draw hyper lifelike drawings but I have a short attention span..

A new character portrait I’ve created. I’ve named her Melaina. Made with pencils, blackwing pencil, water soluble graphite by artgraf and a water soluble graphite crayon by lyra.
