Being able to look at a landscape and translate it into a ballpoint pen sketch that doesn't look like a mess is quite the challenge, especially in under 15 minutes.
It will be a necessary skill though, for this massive project I am taking on...

*Soon to be stickers!*
All based on real species with a fantasy twist, can you guess who?
the 4 on flowers are native species to #VancouverIsland , as are the mushrooms.
Included a WIP of a couple to show my digital painting process. :)

My favorite way to keep my watercolor brushes. I love collecting pretty stones, when I put them in the bottom of the jar it's much harder to tip over when I am flailing around painting. Also it charges my brushes up with magic hippy crystal energy I am pretty sure.

"The Brightness" - been reading the southern reach series recently, this is vaguely inspired by it.

More practice #ballpointpendrawing today, post a picture of your pet in the comments, if they inspire me I'll sketch them (no promises, inspiration is a fickle thing) :) 💖

When the muse is dead but you want to draw; pull up some references and practice, practice. All done in ballpoint pen from the start so no takebacksies, no eraser, just practice.

Older digital painting I did based on a photo I took of some cherry blossoms. I swear there really was a butterfly dragon there ;)

Cute wood ornaments I made last Christmas for my sisters. I don't have a good photo of these so I took a screenshot of a video and cleaned it up in Photoshop, that's why the pic looks a bit weird.
I cut the wood, varnished, painted and then sealed in resin :)

"interconnected" inspired by watching Rufus hummingbirds madly feeding on Salmon Berry blossoms in the spring, I wonder how many thousands of years these two organisms have held this symbiotic relationship.

Watercolour/gouache painting of a moss unicorn. They can lay down in the moss to become just a little knoll in the forest, that is why we never spot them ;)
