im ink painting, learning to
roses, colors continue to be hard, the green i got turns out more blue on the page weirdly, the red's ok, but just working with them in general is a lot harder than black

cattails tried to remake the other one i did but playing with color to see how it worked out

been a stressful couple of weeks, trying to get back to it, could tell i was a bit out of practice, but a friend got me some color ink sticks so i wanted to try it out, mostly just scribbles to see how they worked but theres some elements in there i dont hate

grey fox - was about to pack up painting supplies when this guy showed up, had to move quick and had to paint standing to get him, he left right as i was finishing, might try and paint him again now that i have the reference but wanted to try to get something in the moment while looking at him

tiger lily practice, not my best but mostly just impressed i managed to do black on black spots, that felt good to pull off, black but not black and pulling out tones and all that, feels good when i can do layered shades like that to add details to things

rough sketch of a larger idea im trying to work towards, wanted to get the pieces down on paper so i had a better sense of how it would play out when i eventually do it, points if you can tell what its supposed to be

friend gave me a challenge for a fern, came out kinda shitty but good practice, brush control and im getting better at avoiding being too literal and separating things out too much, looking at the greater whole and all

self portrait, figured since im posting here i may as well have something that looks like me for an avatar, crude and rough but think it captures me or at least an impression of me, and sumi-e is supposed to be impressions right? well whatever its me and the moon and cattails in a pond

saw three birds in the backyard, got inspired to try and draw them, never done birds before, yard is also full of cut grass which is why the background is like that

tried a few different things today, painted outside for once, thought it might help me get a better feel for my subjects, also tried getting some human shapes off my body as a reference, pretty crude but some of it isnt terrible, something to work on

pine - added some mountains in the background to try and make something of a scene

tree branch, tried to simplify from last time and just do the main branch, and tried adding a moon in the background to give it more depth but that got a little fucked up, also got a new journal to practice with with better quality paper than the printer paper id been using
