A little something I whipped up today for complimentary colour practice. I was thinking I’ve not posted a lot of my old stuff on here so maybe I should start posting some retro sketchbook stuff? That would be fun 😏🥸 #art #sketchbook #watercolour

The last few weeks have been a rollercoaster of chaos and me just zoning out in moments of quiet. Hopefully I’ll be able to find some equilibrium towards the end of the year. Just a quick sketch I did using some Uni coloured pencils. #sketchbook #art

Inktober I guess? I copied some floor tiles from the Museum of Fine Arts in Seville. Acrylic markers. #art #traditionalart #sketchbook

Been quiet as I’ve been busy. Busy being on holiday. Still got a while to go. It’s not much, but it’s honest work.

This week was pure chaos so barely any time was had to draw non-work stuff. I scratched at this when my brain needed a reset. Marbel acrylic markers in my white as snow American sketchbook. #art #inktober #sketchbook

Work’s been busy lately so here’s a happy little guy I’m working on for a Christmas card. (In case you’d wondered why I’d been doing raccoon studies…) #art #digitalart #illustration

Inktober without a prompt list, day 2. Yes, I like trees! Amsterdam acrylic inks and dip pen. I bought this sketchbook in London, it’s from Stillman & Brin, an American company. The paper is smooth but still a bit textured and is as white an as American pop star’s teeth. #art #inktober

Inspired by Inktober I pulled out my late uncle’s pen nib collection and started rummaging. I found a lot of aesthetic nibs but also something which has stumped me… The bottom bit. It looks like a little club. Does any experienced inker have an idea what this is for? #ink #dippen #inktober

On an art-related note, I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to find it what an absolute beast Turner was. Honestly one of the most diverse outputs I’ve ever seen. Legend.

Sketchbook trees. Because I love trees.
The headache is still doing the rumba in the back of my head but yesterday was migraine-free so progress. My current ME flare is being particularly painful but this too shall pass.

My homework this week was to paint a picture without using a brush. This was a struggle but I’m somewhat happy with the result. Acrylics on wood using two palette knives and my fingers. #art #painting #traditionalart #traditionalpainting #smallartist

A little exercise in speed painting with oils loosely based on a gouache doodle I made over the summer. 4h #art #oilpainting #traditionalart #painting

Second parent-teacher evening of the week and more raccoons. My fatigue, pain and general annoyance with the world is off the charts but life doesn’t wait. Here’s to tomorrow being better. #art #sketchbook #raccoon #sketchbooktour #fineliner

More raccoon paw studies at the first parent-teacher evening of the week. As one of the parents, not the teacher. #sketchbook #sketchbookart #art #raccoon

I was brainstorming some ideas for the company Christmas card (yes yes it’s still early but this is the world of event planning) and I decided it’ll be raccoon-themed this year. Since I’ve never drawn a raccoon, I started on some detail studies. Raccoon paws are too funny 😂 #sketchbook #raccoon
