My second attempt with acrylic paints created this sweet #painting. There’s a big difference between working with charcoal/watercolor and working with acrylic paints but I think I’m starting to get the hang of it and I feel excited to keep going with the medium.

I usually work with charcoal and watercolours but tried my hand at acrylics with these flowers and really loved lt! I’ll keep going with acrylics and see where it takes me. :)

Here’s a long time lapse of me working on an octopus in charcoal.

I drew this snake in charcoal in my sketchbook to practice scales. I think I figured it out so the next one should be better. You learn something with every drawing!

I painted some roses in watercolor and gouache. I played around with the colors of the wash and then just went with whatever I had to work with. It felt both fun and freeing! What do you think?

I made another #portrait drawing in #charcoal based on a post over on Reddit’s drawme subreddit. If anyone knows this guy tell him to check his reddit because he hasn’t seen it (I was late to the post) and it would be fun if he did!

I just finished this charcoal drawing. I call it ”Slow Jams” for pretty obvious reasons. Any thoughts on it?

This is the third one in a #watercolor series I call ”The Chew Crew”. It’s watercolor and #ink on 300g/m2 #Arches paper. Size is 20x20cm. This piece has been sold but I still love it so much.
What do you think?

This piece from last year is part one in a #watercolor series I call The Chew Crew. It’s watercolor and ink on hot pressed #arches paper. Any thoughts on it?

Some quick ink drawings. I added some color pencil to the bird just for fun.

Just finished this portrait of a quiet guy. A gold star to the first person to say his name. This is charcoal in my sketchbook.

Just finished this portrait. It’s charcoal in my sketchbook. Turned out pretty good I think.

I made some apples and pears using #charcoal. They turned out pretty good I think. :)
