Kira's Faves

Been hillwalking a lot more than I used to, and it's starting to show itself in my doodles :)

Something simple, yet magical...definitely need to draw more kelpies here!

Graduated pencils. Estudio de labios

New profile picture and whatnot. Drawn with FireAlpaca.

It’s spring! And I got to hang out with little chicks. They are little fluff balls of serotonin. (Drawing with my non-dominant hand).

This line from the Stephin Merritt episode of the 'She's A Talker' podcast (referring to Stephen Sondheim plot-lines) got my imagination ticking in overdrive

This is my second version of this drawing. If anyone has an opinion on which version they like better, I would love to hear it. (Sorry, you have to go back several pages of my uploads to see it.)

(some doodles require two post-it notes)

Acrylic on canvas

Long doodle night...

I first bought some cheap soft pastels back in 2018 and did a couple of sketches. I bought a nice set of Rembrandt pastels a few months later — didn't use them. I bought some pastel pads, none if which seemed right. September 2020, I bought a couple more sets of bargain pastels and tried a couple of pieces — no good, still couldn't bring myself to use them. Jess bought me pastel pencils for Christmas — I was too scared to use them. I even bought a pad of Pastelmat which is supposed to be THE paper to use for pastel paintings in January. I was too scared to use that as well! FINALLY, after a few unsuccessful attempts at working with watercolour (brush issues), I cast aside my fear and thought I'd mess around with pastels. Some time later, and this was the result. I've finally broken through my pastel fear-barrier. I've got to say, I love soft pastels and I'm excited about doing more pieces in this medium.
