Zom Osborne's Uploads

Whisp, day 2 of inktober. Done with my TWSB Eco fountain pen with an extra fine nib. I think I like this approach better than yesterday's. I like the fine cross-hatching. Mig looks up and sees smoke coming from a distance.

I am enjoying drawing these girls in armour guarding animals. Not quite sure all that they symbolise, but I trust that will come over time.

A strong old crone in a ram cloak with a three raven brooch. The matriarch of her tribe.

I sat on the ground at the boat harbour to draw this. I felt a bit self conscious as everyone started emerging from the boat as I was obviously drawing it. I thought it was empty! I have never drawn a boat before and don't know much about them. It was fascinating.

Day 3 submission for inktober2020. The prompt is bulky. Created with a fountain pen and ink wash. Mig grabs her big coat as it is cold out.

I had some time in town waiting for my car to be checked. They took a long time, but I didn’t really mind as I had my sketchbook with me. Nearby was a park with a bench looking at this charming scene.

I made this drawing for my niece's birthday. It is her wearing the armour. The wolf represents her ancestors.

This is a drawing I did a few years ago of the holiday cabins that my family used to stay at. We would spend a week each summer vacation at the beach.

A little doodle today in my sketchbook.

I could have gone further, but I kind of lost interest in this one. Normally I would have put some texture indicating bricks and a bit more detail.

Nyx is the goddess before manifestation begins, the daughter of Chaos. She is the Eternal Darkness before there was light. Mother of numerous primordial powers such as Death, Sleep, the Fates, Nemesis and Old Age.

Dancing in the air above a flood, she throws away her sword.

Happy Halloween.

Fooling around with the #mermay prompts and gouache.

She is the witch of the sacred grove

This is a drawing from my new Crone series, where I explore ancient archetypes of older women.
