Two skulls: My usual "illustrative realism" drawing style vs a more woodcut print style. It is really difficult for me to simplify shapes and not add details. Drawn with Kaweco Sport fountain pens in a Strathmore 5.5x8.5" mixed-media sketchbook. #PenAndInk #Drawing #FountainPen #SciArt

Did you know that the Irish would carve faces into turnips (and other root vegetables) to ward off spirits? This tradition was the precursor to carving pumpkins at Halloween. My 2nd attempt at this drawing. #PenAndInk #FountainPen #Drawing #turnip #Halloween #skystorians

When you need something to mindlessly draw, I highly recommend teeth. No straight lines, beautiful organic shapes - just perfect for sketching. Practicing an old engraving style with a Kaweco Sport #fountainpen (1.1 mm nib) with Platinum Carbon Black ink

Playing around with drawing in an old wood-cut style. It is really difficult for me to simplify my illustrations - I really have to fight the urge to add tiny details! Drawn with a Kaweco Sport fountain pen w/ a 1.1 mm nib. #PenAndInk #Sketch #FountainPen

Inking is always relaxing for me. I tend to pencil rather loosely, so this is the stage where the drawing "comes alive" Using Rotring Art fountain pens on Bristol. I use a lightbox to trace over my sketch - that way I don't have to worry about erasing. #PenAndInk #Drawing #FountainPen #SciArt

Sea Pigs sketches. Scotoplanes are a type of sea cucumber that use a ring of feeding tentacles to sift through sediment for decaying organic matter on the sea floor and have tube-like feet for locomotion. Drawn with Rotring Art pens with Platinum Carbon and Sepia ink. #SciArt #Sketch #FountainPen

Here's a drawing of a young woman with her pufferfish from about two years ago. I love the puffer, but wasn't too happy with how the linework in her dress turned out. Drawn with Platinum Carbon and Sepia inks in Rotring Art pens.

Small Xenomorph doodle in a pocket notepad. How did you feel about "Alien: Earth"? I was just whelmed. 😐 Drawn with a Rotring Freeway fountain pen. #Alien #xenomorph #lv426 #FountainPen #sketch #drawing

Saturday night digital sketching while watching "Portlandia." I like to roughly pencil in red, then tighten in blue before a final inking in black (not pictured).FYI It took me FOREVER to get used to drawing without looking at my hand! Wacom Intuos pad, Photoshop and a MacBook Pro. #drawing #sketch

Morning coffee sketch: Rock Dove. The sclerotic rings of birds are fascinating! They are bony plates in the eye that aid in structural support. We mammals rely on fluid pressure instead. Drawn with a Kaweco Sport and Koh-I-Noor clutch pencil in a Lochby pocket notepad. #PenAndInk #Sketch #Anatomy

Quick coffee-break sketch of a winged-skull gravestone from the 18th century. From the Billion Graves Blog: "Over time, the skull and crossbones gave way to winged skull gravestone symbols. The wings were symbolic of a soul fleeing mortality. It added a message of hope and resurrection."

A one-of-a-kind "Wooly Windu" magnetic doodle toy that I made. Ages Padawan to Jedi. (I used a magnetic screwdriver instead of the included red stylus to avoid opening up the packaging, keeping it in mint condition) 🧲 #StarWars #MaceWindu #WoolyWilly #MagnetsHowDoTheyWork #ArtToys #Toys
