This is another sketch in my “skull” sketchbook. I love this refillable journal. It’s black Italian leather and it was made by Innovative Journaling. It comes with two refills of Arches Text Wove paper. The nice thing about this refillable journal is that I can use the paper that comes with it, or make myContinue reading “Monster Self Portrait”

Little Witch (on the side)
I did work a little on my little witch series while doing the “TheyDrawtober Challenge.” The food challenge took up more time than expected, and I wound up doing that challenge on Procreate and as you can see from last month’s posts. In the meantime, monsters, witches and other beasties were sidelined. I have beenContinue reading “Little Witch (on the side)”
Happy Halloween
Happy Halloween everyone! Thank you for following along with me for this month’s THEYDRAWTOBER Challenge. I am grateful to you, my followers! Here’s a piece of virtual Halloween cake!
Figs
I actually had to go to Publix to buy figs for reference. Not that I am complaining. Figs are good for you, like dates. I wish I had a fig tree. I love when you get a cheese platter at a cafe and they have figs on the platter. Hmmmm…I think I’ll go grab aContinue reading “Figs”

I am know some folks are looking for the Little Witch Series and that is going on in the background. I just haven’t decided how or when I want toContinue reading “S’MOREs and Live Critter Sunday”
Albert
Albert was used to being on his own, living free as a bird with no worries in the world. Then he met Esmerelda.
A rose unlike any other
I still have a bunch of prepped blobs waiting to be turned into something. This blob screamed flower. I kept trying to find a creature but this flower kept saying “me me, draw me!” So I did.
Long beaked Cardinal
Another Imaginary Creature pulled out from the page. I drew the beak long and almost erased it, but left it because it isn’t supposed to be representational anyway. There’s a lot of angles to this guy. He uses them to hide in oak and elm trees. I also included what the page looked like beforeContinue reading “Long beaked Cardinal”
Georgie is about to have a bad day
I have a few “prepped” homemade sketchbooks with patterned backgrounds that I use for characters. Sort of like a staged background. Today I used the background to randomly “find” a character. This guy almost jumped off the page. But then he looks very terrier-ish so that would be normal for a terrier. Georgie is aContinue reading “Georgie is about to have a bad day”
Happy Labor Day
We are less than a month away from Inktober and that means the return of the Little Witch and her Dragon. They are taking a vacation at the shore and are enjoying their Labor Day on the beach. Dragons love the sun on their hides. The laughing gulls are wondering if there are any handoutsContinue reading “Happy Labor Day”
