Inktober Day 15 – Outpost

The dragonet is still pissed that he had to wear armor yesterday. He flew off to parts unknown so he wouldn’t have to pose for anything today. The prompt is “outpost” anyway. I had to wing it without him.

Beach sketching

First Day of Summer Sketch

Good morning! It is the first day of summer and to celebrate, I did a quick sketch in my Morning Pages to celebrate the day. I like the beach best in the evenings after everyone else has run off to shower and eat dinner. I can sit and read, or sketch the early evening activitiesContinue reading “First Day of Summer Sketch”
