drawing

I have dragged this typewriter around for more than 50 years. I found it in an antique store when I was in college. It's still fully useable, except that it's REALLY hard to find ribbons. Basically, it's just another object to dust. But it is a beautifully made object. The basic shapes and perspective were blocked in with a 2H pencil, then I used a Sakura 005 micron pen to do the contour drawing.

Drawn from a garden photograph. This took me much longer than expected. I kept stopping because I was getting discouraged. I still don't like the leaves, but there's not too much I can do about it at this point.

Another vision from imagination .

Tiny starflowers under trees are one part of macig at Finnish woods. This works point is more at illusion than realism

"Contemplation of the Jump" - drawn & colored in Escape Motions Rebelle. My drawings are pretty random, but after I make them I think about them a bit... like... what is that girl in that cave room thinking and why is he going to jump? I should probably know the answers... but I don't.

Here's a sketch of the Osprey Pens Pen Factory, drawn with an Osprey Milano 5.5 Flexpert Hourglass nib using Noodlers Black Ink. Great pen!

This was a morning doodle that took me into the afternoon. It’s so hard to stop!

Birds bikes and bells. It started as a quick bike doodle and then I got carried away. I kinda like getting carried away. I seldom know where it will end up.

A simpler & graphic style with Lamy fountain pen and Pentel brushpen

Trying to capture vision of small island at light mist

Three islands filled with people all alone out by the sea, You see, I'd love to join them but there is no room for me. That one guy climbed too high - I think they call him "Clumsy Paul?" Soon there may be room for me... I'm just waiting for his fall.

Colored pencil on toned tan paper

This is part of an ongoing series.

Inspired by an art piece done by Chad Wehrle.

My first drawing in the new Rebelle 7 by Escape Motions. Go wild with the new metallic paint or turn it down low for a subtle sheen that adds interest to simple paintings.

Reference photo is old B&W slide that my father took long time ago

When I am angry and frustrated with the world (politics, wild fires, injustice, etc.) I seem to be drawn to drawing raptors. The first one is today's sketch, the other two are from former days. Blackwing pencil and woodless B4 pencil on Canson sketch paper.

More ballpoint pen experiments. This is with a Bic Round Stic (12 for $1.49 at Staples!) on just a bond paper. Making progress with this medium, methinks!

Self portrait with sunglasses.

Part 2 of Hailuoto landscapes. Last cranes gathering to migratory

"Ring" - Inktober day 1. Drawn with a Pilot Custom 743 PO, Holbein watercolor.

Sketch to my upcoming project which i use different technique. I use it once but cant show it yet

Here comes the doodle caravan. It's getting close. Can't wait to see what everyone uploads.

You know where to fine me...

New one shadowed & ready for color. Drawn with a Pilot Custom 823 FA (favorite pen at the moment) with Noodlers 41 Brown on Strathmore Mixed Media paper.
