I very quick yet cute doodle from long ago. I am both surprised and proud of myself for this one :P

A little exercise in my sketchbook to create a non-narrative comic. Just graphite, digitally colored.

Many beginnings. Beginning 6. The best ice cream in the world is made from the clouds you gather at dusk on the beach. Everyone knows that. * Starting is easy, it's the middle that is often a muddle. And I won't even mention the endings. Here are some beginnings for children stories that flitter through my head. https://www.instagram.com/p/COxp0KSh4KR/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Another digital art project

Requested by 8 year old space enthusiast. Pastel pencil on dark blue pastel paper.

From a wonderful photograph by Mr. Georges Courreges.

The cat on the left goes by Claude, whereas the name of the one on the right is still unknown.

A little sketch 3 by 5” of a robin and coloured in with water colour paints.

A little sketch, 3” by 5”, made better with a bit of cheap watercolour paint. I don’t know why, but I like this little scene. It isn’t a terribly brilliant sketch and I didnt paint it with great care, but still, i like it. And in the end, it really doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. If you finish a little piece of art snd can say you like it even weeks and months later, then it is a winner for you.

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

Colored Pencil

we went camping last summer and i drew this on the way. got inspired by the trees and the beautiful lake near our tent. wish you a wonderful day!!:)

This is a memorial piece for my dog, Gripper. I’m very happy with how it turned out.

Pastel pencil study of the intertwined hands of the Ambrogio Borghi sculpture, Chioma di Berenice. Faber Castell pastel pencils, Black and White Generals charcoal pencils on 9” x 12” Strathmore Toned Grey sketchbook paper.

The river up above Sgwd Gwladus waterfall in Neath's Waterfall country.

A bit of a departure from my usual style. I wanted to try something a bit messy, fast, and loose. The scene is an ancient woodland in Pembrokeshire called Tŷ Canol, an atmospheric place and full of inspiration for artworks. Pen and watercolour in Seawhite sketchbook.

Was truly a meditation making this.

Watercolour painting of Ponyo

Just some disparate doodles created during February 2021, using multiple black ink biros and some HB graphite pencil for toning.

Gourd-face started out as a tiny doodle in my sketchbook but I couldn't stop thinking about him. So I drew several gourd-faces. This one has the unfortunate circumstance of growing on his face. Poor Gourdy. I drew him with pencil and then colored on the computer. Cheers!
