There is this little sentence in Peter Pan that always had me. Tinker Bell gets the help of some “street fairies” to help get rid of Wendy. There is no description of street fairies. There are no streets in Neverland.

Have run across this guy in several stories over the past year and am intrigued by his grift and scumbaggery.

I couldn’t get my brain to do what I wanted to draw. That happens when you are trying to create something that hasn’t existed before. So I thought “what if I drew something that already exists?” How close could I get to an absolutely recognizable work? Can I do it without messing it up? Can I do it without fixing the “errors” in the original that no one notices unless they are not right in the head?

Turns out the live model painting has been delayed until June. I need a pallet cleanser from all the pencil drawings. Found this reference and thought it was fantastic.

I didn’t quite like how the bottom turned out. I tried having brown for dirt against the sky, but it was too dark. Then I went over it with green and all the way down to the bottom of the page. That looked too solid and square, so I went over with some yellow. I’ll have to look at more pictures and videos to get this better. I’m really looking to do this so I can paint a tree in the foreground.

Some more random doodles from when I need to pass the time.

I have been putting off making a valentines card for my wife for the last 3 weeks. I finally sucked it up and churned out this rendition of the Lotería card El Corazón.

Ice-cold bouquetHappy Valentines' day everyone!! Here's a little something for you, featuring my Final Fantasy 14 Warrior of Light Icy :3 This piece was a big struggle, but I learnt a lot painting it. I hope you like it! <3

Not sure where to post this, so here it goes.

Watercolor from tubes on paper

Ink & Aquamarkers

I make art out of single use plastic and found/recycled items. This piece is titled “Bear witness” made from trash and chainsaw blades. Thought this might inspire other solar punk artists <3.

Those are objects from the Roman Empire. About 130 have been found in total.

@artshare Arrietty diorama's done ~ 🌿I might do kingdom hearts next ... (Maybeee ?)

It took a few days to figure out how I wanted to ink this. Then it occurred to me that I needed to keep the production vibe of their videos. The faster I could ink this the more true to Castle Rat it would be.

Several years ago I read a book on famous quotes and did the person actually say it. Turns out Einstein didn’t say his famous quote on doing the same thing over and over again exactly.

All made with Blender

Pencil rough for a drawing based on the band Castle Rat. No idea what ink style I’ll use once I tighten up the rough.

I think a could have gone a bit farther with it but I’m pleased with the results tho

Pushing a bit beyond faces while practicing for live model sessions.

This is just a little doodle I made in my sketchbook while waiting for my daughter to finish her swimming lessons.

Saw this reference image and really wanted to paint her hair. Afterwards I’m thinking maybe it’s a bit on the Karen side…?

I was just playing around with colours and shapes this weekend and ended up making this image :-)

We took my mom here for her birthday. It’s a place she’d been wanting to photograph for a long time. It was a fantastic trip!

Vintage portrait in carbon pencil. Switched original from demure downward glance to annoyed glare.

Scary movies don’t tend to get me worked up. Spider clowns in sewers don’t do it for me. But No Country for Old Men did. It’s lived rent free in my head ever since.

Micron 03, 05. A5 Sometimes your brain tells you to draw something and you can’t tell it no.

Have I ever seen a piano? Yes, I have. Do I have one in my house? Yes, I do. Do I know what one looks like? Um, probably, why don’t I just start drawing anyway and find out…

doodled these little cats yesterday to try out a new pen (1.0mm staedtler bullet point pigment pen in case anyone curious), ppl on discord seemed to like it so i thought why not put it here too :)

Having some fun with 70s studio portraits, drawing inspiration from Charles Burns’s Black Hole

Character sketch of 70s hair model in carbon pencil

My first. Used Krita and Wacom pad

I’m good at a lot of things. Sewing isn’t one of them.

I’m trying to paint a person for the second time everrr and this is the sketch so far!

mental breakdown drawing

Shitty Crayola marker on shitty poster paper. 2026/01/24.

sucking at something is the first step to getting sorta good at something

650 tris, 256x256 texture.

Going for something a bit more stylized here. I tried to make her eyes pop and draw in the viewer. How’d I do?

I took this picture last year when it was sunny and I noticed the interesting looking shadow. I overwrite the shadow using Krita and a Wacom drawing pad on my PC.

Thanks for the recommendations on the earlier version of this. I made some changes because I feel it previously was two perspectives, bottom of the tree was from close looking up, but the top of the tree was from far away. I made the top bigger to make the trunk look like it’s from the same perspective. Did some work on the ground around and behind the tree. Watched some videos, and looked at the trees across the street.

pentel 0.7mm energel pen in case anyone curious (i like the 0.5mm better but cannot find them by me anymore 😭)

February 11th is the day my dad passed away last year. This painting sort of expresses how I feel. My brother and I are getting together that day. I hope I get a good cry in that day. It’s been a while.

Gouache and ink on paper.

When watching the timelapse of the last drawing I really liked when the beard had white highlights added before the skin. So I tried to get something like that here with more contrast to his skin.

OMG OMG OMG, this turned it out so good! I didn’t think I’ve ever been this proud of any piece I’ve done before.

First time I’ve picked up a dip pen in years. I’m out of practice.
