I am half way through my sixth decade, and I still like cute animals. This guy is the quintessential cute pet from so many of our childhoods.

I can't remember if I did this from a reference photo or from one of the books I used to learn colored pencil drawing...

Colored Pencil. Tried photo editing, but for some reason, my blue crab looks green in every photo no matter what I do....so trust me, it's more blue!! LOL

I never do color, but I decided what the heck, it cant be too hard. Turns out it's pretty hard.

For all those friends doing jobs and working like a jackass. Double the hours, double the work. Still think they are the kings.

Not exactly a doodle LOL as this was a stippling piece with colored pencil overlay

A twenty minute posed captured in a figure drawing session in North Vancouver.

Giving it a go with artist colored pencils for the first time. Finding it challenging to keep a point on the pencils and anyway to recover if what should have been a white area gets too much color? Do most colored pencil artists use solvents to blend?

A little experiment with composite realism of sorts.

Due to COVID-restrictions, Edinburgh urban sketchers have been sketching virtually in Catalonia using Google street view. Here’s one of my contributions. It’s somewhere in Amposta ... unfortunately, didn’t take note of the actual street :O Pencil, brush pens and posca on coloured A4.

Day 2 of 14: watercolour pens, fineliner, graphite, coloured pencil, oil pastel on paper.

Inktober 2020, Day 25: "Buddy". I thought what better match for the prompt than Stanley Stegosaurus, which my parents got to me when we moved to the US, when I was six. Stanley was a good buddy to me, when I didn’t understand at first the weird language spoken by those American kids. It has also been a good buddy to me during this weird pandemic time, when my IRL social life seems to be limited to maybe meeting one person once a month. Brush pens and posca on coloured A4.

Superstitions: Nightmare The 'nightmare' was originally believed to be a huge spirit which settled on people while they slept and gave them a feeling of being stifled - and in Europe an old preventative for this was to place a knife or something similar at the end of the bed, as it was well known that the denizens of darkness feared iron and steel.

This was initially an ink pen doodle which I then coloured and further developed digitally in both Photoshop and SketchBookExpress.

I am back after a long break from here. Gonna be more regular again now after a absence. so this is a new piece. I hope you all like. Initial sketch was drawn over the weekend and had a redraw today.
