These cats live in Bali and surf nearly every day. When they're not surfing they're eating. When they're not eating or surfing they're napping.

I’ve been working on color lately. I figured a tree was a good subject.

Have no fear! I haven't lost my head- I have it right here. And my neck has a hole where you can pour the beer. So do me a favor, dear. Pour it in with a cheer.

A Holiday card I made this past Christmas. Check out the GIF animation of it on my website :)

New year, same old stuff from me folks.

a different kind of Christmas pattern

I had something bum me out a little bit today. Nobody’s fault but it is what it is. So I decided to draw this up. I’m ready for fall and fall beers! I love to sit out under the moon once the temperature drops a bit and have some marzen lagers and other fall drinks. I felt like this captured the moment perfectly. I am excited for music fest in @havertownlife havertown tomorrow. I heard @levantebrewing will be pouring at brick and brew so I’ll be there sucking back some suds. I’m glad I forced myself to learn #adobeillustrator I’ve come a long way. Since then I have been able to help other artists that don’t use Illustrator or vectors and I am pretty proud of that, because when I was in their place it always felt like a huge struggle.

Drawn with a Sailor/Wancher Turquoise 1911L. The M nib on this pen comes to a sharp point which allows for some line variation not from flex but based on how deep the firm nib digs into the watercolor paper. The Noodlers Black ink is a little dry and that contributes to this effect.

The Right Pen For The Job: Started with a Pilot Custom 742 PO. Finished with my 3776 Century UEF. Ready for color.

For these Grahams Up the Tree drawings I used a Pilot Custom 823 with FA nib. This pen is legendary. It has a very soft nib and a giant vacuum filled tank of ink so you can write and draw for days.

"At 6 o'clock the window squeaks and mum calls time" from Graham's Up the Tree. It must have been strange for mbpardy to see his his story interpreted through my illustrations... but page by page these characters came to life, with both of our contributions somehow adding up to something bigger.

It’s been a while since I did some Pokemon fan art, thankfully my girlfriend knows my tastes in plushies all too well!

Lindsey and I went to an oddities expo today. Decided to draw her as a witch haha playing with some new techniques

There were several (probably too many) contributors to the development of this idea. 1. Sunshine prompt from my other sketching group 2. Contour/outline art from my digital group 3. My sister always encouraging me to “do a scene” 4. The quote from my Doodle Addicts friend Dean C. Graf website Note: This was completed part in procreate (see prior post) and sketching using graphite and some pastel pencils. The quote: It’s not what happens to me that matters, it’s my opinion of what happens to me that matters. (Epictetus (Greek philosopher) The meaing: “The quality of life we experience is determined by how we respond to life’s challenges.”

In one of my other art communities Glacier National Park was the prompt for today. I found a refence photo online. Then a guy I follow on instagram (@harryfrost) does pen and ink art in a similar style to my submission. I used my light board to trace some of the basic shapes of the refenence photo. NOTE: I don’t try to trace too much…typically i trace a minimal amount that helps me a bit with portion and shape. Since I’m pretty new to sketching I guess I’m ok with a bit of tracing. Any thoughts?

This was a Tatyworks tutorial…completed for a “challenge” in another group I follow. Always room for improvement (guess that’s part of the process)…HA. Anyway, pretty happy with this from a novice perspective.
