Pen and ink in my moleskine sketchbook.

This is a drawing of the little joey bandicoot we found in his mama’s pouch after she had been hit by a car.

Day 8 of inktober and the prompt is Teeth. Nick is excited to go out, he doesn't care what the reason is.

A little doodle today in my sketchbook.

A strong old crone in a ram cloak with a three raven brooch. The matriarch of her tribe.

I made this drawing for my niece's birthday. It is her wearing the armour. The wolf represents her ancestors.

Pen and watercolour in an old sketchbook. From a few years ago, but still has meaning for me. A consistent theme, animals and women.

The Primal inktober prompt today is Hunter. Not sure this is finished, fountain pen in my moleskine sketchbook.

I was up visiting Coolangadah and found this house across from the beach. There was also a picnic table, so perfect time to draw.

Here I was trying an experiment using pencil and Tombow watercolour markers for lighter tones with the ink. Not sure how well it works. I am open to feedback.

That soft squishy frog body feels the need for some protection in times like these.

This began as a study of armour. While researching women’s armour , I was annoyed by how sexualised the images were. The women were all beautiful, sexy and usually scantily clad. This seems so stupid. What good is armour that doesn’t cover your most vulnerable parts? So I set out to draw a more realistic warrior, strong and sturdy, suitably clad for the fight.

I had some time in town waiting for my car to be checked. They took a long time, but I didn’t really mind as I had my sketchbook with me. Nearby was a park with a bench looking at this charming scene.

I am enjoying drawing these girls in armour guarding animals. Not quite sure all that they symbolise, but I trust that will come over time.

This guy is feeling a bit fragile today, so he got his armour out.

Dancing in the air above a flood, she throws away her sword.

Pen and ink in my moleskine. Using the wonderful Albrecht Durer for a drawing lesson.

Day 3 submission for inktober2020. The prompt is bulky. Created with a fountain pen and ink wash. Mig grabs her big coat as it is cold out.

Playing with some animals in armour in my sketchbook.

A study of armour using a photo by @douglasharris07. I asked his permission first.

Drawn in my moleskine sketchbook with a fountain pen. I am having so much fun with my women in armour series. Can you tell that she has leather armour on? I am not sure how well that is conveyed.
