Another park, another sketch! It’s amazing to see trees laden with fruit at the end of October for me. There was another tree in the background but I wasn’t sure how to draw it as a shadowy tree behind the persimmon without muddying the contrasts. I’m working on improving my values :)

Out and about sketch in the park :) I’m not really used to seeing palm trees and they’ve been fun to draw 🌴

A little strawberry doodle playing with some inks today. The paper was more dry than I thought and a few of the spots turned out a but larger than expected lol. I’m in love with the color of these inks tho!😍😍😍

Throwback to one of my favorite pieces 🥰 The grays came out so nice on this one, it was so satisfying to paint.

This was one of the first pieces I banged out in my current style. It took only four hours to get all the lines down then, through a happy accident, I found out my ink was water soluble and my new favorite shading method was created! Click for the full panorama :)

Food can be ~very~ inspiring too! I was hunting through Bento Lunch Box by Sara Kiyo Popowa for recipes and when I found this beauty, I just had to try painting it 😆

These are my favorite earrings that I’ve made! They feel very spring to me.
Tubs made from dried seed pods I painted, filled with glue, and then layered with beads. Tiny ducks sculpted and painted by me :) The result is a pair of super lightweight and fun earrings!

Not a mushroom but I figured #fungifriends might appreciate these Ghost Pipes, a parasitic flower. Found in the Adirondacks 👻

I’ve never really tried lettering before, as evidenced by what I’m choosing to think of as charming wonkiness, but it was a lot of fun coming up with the images around the letters 🐜🌸🍓🫐🐛

An out and about sketch. I didn’t have access to my waterbrush to add greys, but I think the sketch is still interesting 🍄🟫

Words can not describe how funny I find this sketch book page. It was my first time trying out a vertebrate in my style ☺️🐸

A little witchy doodle. What better partnership than a mushroom witch and her faithful pig? 🍄 🐷 🍄🟫

Some indigo mushrooms I found :) The texture was not super delicious after cooking but I did love the shock factor of people seeing blue mushrooms! What a gorgeous color 💙

Two morelly morels with a surprise soot sprite appearance that was definitely not me dropping ink.

Morning, to all my lgbTqia+ friends. You exsist. You will continue to exsist and have for centuries. I know that’s literally the bare minimum but sometimes it’s good to hear it.
