An older piece but a perennial favourite.

'La même histoire'
Ink on Moleskine sketchbook paper, approximately 127 × 208 mm, 2018.

#MerMay
Ink drawing of a mermaid sitting atop a perpendicular, tree trunk-like rock in the water. Her long hair trails right down to her seat and obscures her face entirely. Her head is bowed, and there is a strong suggestion that she may be weeping.

But I do have this older clip from a few years ago doing something very similar, using the very tip of the brush.

I would have liked to have filmed the inking of this tiny wren and the shrub's very fine branches with this brush, but I needed to get especially close to the piece for this and it would have been too awkward.

1/2
Detail from a silhouette drawing in black ink of a tiny bird perched on a small, leafless shrub. The head of a hen just makes it into the crop, opposite the bird. The drawing is very fine and intricate. The detail shown is roughly comparable in size to two postage stamps, and is photographed with a penny and the traditional Chinese brush the piece was drawn with.

It's Thingummy. The new one that sounds like shushing.

I suppose one kritosaurine looks much like another...

#Ahshiselsaurus
Very rough thumbnail sketch in pencil of the hadrosaur, Ahshiselsaurus. Like it's relative, Kritosaurus, it has a pronounced 'Roman nose' of a nasal ridge but an otherwise plain head.

Perhaps it's because everything else in the world feels especially dark these days.

I know it's much too early to mention _that_ holiday, but this is an ultramarine watercolour paint made from genuine lapis lazuli, and I may as well drop the hint as not. 👀😇

It's spooky season!

Why not grab yourself a digital copy of GHOST DAYS and its follow-up novella, IN THE SNOW, THE JUNGLE? Fully illustrated tales of Appalachian historical horror, southern witchcraft, and backwoods folklore!

www.asherelbein.com/store
The Tiffany Turrill-illustrated cover of Ghost Days, showing a young woman in flowing hair coming through a tunnel of branches with a lantern, wearing a long coat, a broad-brimmed hat on on her head and a magic stick in her other hand. The Tiffany Turrill-illustrated cover of IN THE SNOW, THE JUNGLE, showing a young black woman in a shawl holding up a lantern on the staircase of a strange, overgrown manor, with a witch behind her holding up a torch. Animal heads loom out of the darkness and a large, indistinct portrait covered in claw marks completes the scene

Rough thumbnail sketch next to a work in progress: a light pencil sketch of a hen facing a small bird on a low, leafless shrub. Both pieces are very small; the linework of the work in progress is very fine and delicate.

Hen and Frog.

Ink and gouache on Fabriano Medioevalis, 95 × 64 mm.
Drawing in black ink, primarily in silhouette, of a hen startled by a frog leaping out from a small cluster of ferns. The hen's comb and wattle are the only touch of red gouache.

Detail from a silhouette drawing in black ink of a clump of ferns surrounding a cluster of rocks, photographed with a penny and the traditional Chinese brush it was drawn with. The detail is roughly a quarter of a business card; tiny and intricate.
