Ink of the Day! This is the piece I sold my first print of. What a throwback ✨

Ink of the Day! Once again it is a pain day, and I have an unfortunate number of inkworks about that 😮‍💨

Ink of the Day! I remember being so proud of how the lines and shading came out on this one. It's so fun seeing how far I've come! ✨

Ink of the Day! This one is based on a feeling I get during my 'mind-altered' experiences - the texture of words become jumbled and rounded, and thinking/speaking in language becomes far more difficult. Weird stuff!

Ink of the Day! I don't often do guided meditation, but when I do I tend to get some very cool inks out of it. Maybe I should try it more 🤔

Ink of the Day! I did this one while on a bar crawl, and I'm still impressed that I was able to draw at all. It also took me forever to do this shading style again, which is odd since I really like how it looks now! #ink #inkwork #illustration #b&wart #traditionalart #art #surreal #penandpaper

Ink(s) of the Day(s)! I'm going away on a trip for the weekend, so to make up for the lack of posting, here's a fanart series I did back during lockdown! Can you tell I'm a big fan of little fella characters? 😋

Ink of the Day! I absolutely love the Toree games (and hold some WR speedruns in it), so it's only appropriate that one of my few fanart pieces is of my best friend Tasty the ramen ✨

Ink of the Day! This one was my first meditation self-portrait. Looking at it, I can still remember the sensation I was capturing after all these years 🧘‍♂️

👁️ New Inkwork!
I love drawing animal skulls, so I started with sketching a fox skull and the rest of this piece just came out from there. Very happy with how it turned out!

Ink of the Day! One day I'd love to spend some time re-doing my older ink concepts with my updated techniques. I think it'd be cool to see how far I've come!

Ink of the Day! Looking back at my old inks reminded me of how I used to post my inks visibly in their sketchbooks rather than the "scanned" versions. Maybe I should go back to that posting style? 🤔

Ink of the Day! I distinctly remember this ink being the one that started the "do you do tattoos?" question that I get from people a lot now. The answer is currently no, but maybe one day!

I don't feel like I ever really got the hang of making digital art (as opposed to digital interfaces, which I did grasp pretty quickly). Still, I have made some stuff that I think is kinda cool! 🖥️

For #2 (how long have you been drawing): honestly, as long as I can remember! Though for a very long time (basically until the end of 2018), I predominantly drew character art. I have literally hundreds of photos of characters and creatures that I remember spending so much time on as a kid ✨

What a coincidence, I literally just took a WIP sketch of an upcoming inkwork! ✨

Running into this pic in my feed abruptly threw me back to my Tumblr era when I was absolutely obsessed with asks and questions, so now I feel like I've gotta do it 😂

Ink of the Day! There are some inkworks I've done where I distinctly remember how good I felt about the end result with my skills at the time, and this is definitely one of those 🌹

Ink of the Day! The more I post these the more I want to just sit down for hours and marathon a bunch of ink ideas that keep flooding back to me. If only I had the time! 😭

And after making one fella, I couldn't leave him all alone, so of course I had to make another! Stay back, he's a biter 😛

I didn't have a plan for these, but when I started cutting noodle creature shapes from my alcohol ink sheets it just came together. Along the way I felt compelled to see how they'd look on my new vantablack paint, and it was definitely the right choice ✨

I meant to draw new inkwork(s) yesterday, but instead I got sucked into the world of making little noodle guys.. 😅

Ink of the Day! I usually use different pens for line widths, but every so often I try a brush tip pen and it's been enjoyable. Maybe I just need to make myself use them more to get over the learning curve 😅
