white charcoal pencil on black paper and several hours of fiddling. not totally happy, but turned out better than i thought it would when i got to the half-way point.

new painting. watercolor, gouache, colored pencil, and a dab of acrylic. hooray mixed media?

mermaid commission. it always nice to get paid to do something you'd be doing anyway.

i like the clownfish in the hair, the rest of it... meh.

11x14 watercolor

kirin done at a friend's request... cause we were drinking kirin beer. :D

these took about an hour each, give or take. they're fairly small, coming out of the same 9x12 sheet of coldpress. im actually really kind of liking the chalk-like quality these uber cheap watercolors have once dry, i just wish they werent so good at covering my lines.

second attempt at the same character. need to work on blending out shading and getting more contrast. also need to get a proper knife because cutting 8x10 out of 9x12 paper with scissors... ugh.

doodle that got a little out of control, painted on the inside cover of my shiny new sketchbook.
