My dream cabin in the woods. Drawn with one fine micron pen.
#inktober #ink #micron
A stylize drawing of a cabin in the woods. The cabin is triangular shaped. There are logs stacked either side of the door, bushes and trees in the foreground and middle ground and mountains in the background. There's a curl of smoke coming from the chimney.

Had a bit of a break from drawing recently, but decided to take on a recent request for a pet portrait with a bit of a sad story. It's in coloured pencil (not taking commissions - it's just a hobby I like to dabble in now and again).

Not too many flowers left in the garden now, but here's some little violas that have weathered the wind and rain so far.

Ferns are so graceful. Here's one I took a couple of mornings ago in late summer golden light with some nice bokeh in the background.

Taken on a damp morning walk through the woods - a raindrop about to drop from the end of a fern.

Astrantia in the garden. I liked the dreamy abstract look of this which I didn't expect.
