Doodles I did inspired by Frida Kahlo's fantastic world.

This is my 3rd time drawing St. Basil's Cathedral. Completed by Uni pin 0.1. It takes so much less time this round.

Mixed media: Pencil drawing, linocut print, collage, ink drawing

Good things coming in threes, namely the washi tape choice here…

Anime and manga conventions means I must acquire all the goodies, especially stickers for my art! And when they feature Kirby? Even better :-)

Freehand sketching in ink from a photo reference I found online, to practice conveying that lots-of-stones look without drawing all the stones (photo credit: K. Mitch Hodge). Micron pens + alcohol markers.

Challenging myself to do only freehand-in-ink sketching this month. Ink + alcohol markers.

New sketchbook time again? That it is. Credit to one of my workmates for inspiring the title here, hehehehe. It's been a busy few days here at Bleu HQ... '^^ :-)

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.

I wonder what kind of music he likes? Inktober drawing.

This is going to take a while. VERY large "kitchen sink" piece I go to whenever I can, when I need to just free flow and put down whatever comes to mind.

Still playing with ballpoint pens. This time, I tried a “scribble” drawing, holding the pen way back on the shaft and making little circles and scribbles….then layering them over and over. It was actually very liberating and fun. I did this on a Canson sketch paper….which didn’t wear through, but did buckle a little towards the end.

Wow, I just discovered Claybord, what an amazing substrate to create on! Here are a few images I have been experimenting with.

This is a cheerful little owl that I drew and printed on some cards for gifts to friends. Micron pen and Prismacolor markers.
