Artwork: Woman in pastel
I was doing this piece of a woman in pastel. And well, I have like 8 pastel colours at the moment. So if you want different colours that takes a whole lot of blending and blending. Also I wasn't sure in the beginning where I wanted to take it. As I had more than one… Continue reading Artwork: Woman in pastel

Artwork: Ink and Charcoal
I am digging working with ink as a medium lately. But I also like experimenting with charcoal... I just have never been really taught how to do much with it. I should take some tutorials on YouTube or something. But I mean, I haven't actually been taught anything about anything. So nothing new there. Sort… Continue reading Artwork: Ink and Charcoal
Artwork: Black & White portrait in ink

Artwork: faceless
I have a thing for faceless images. Something to do with masks and the unseen. And the Look of the Other that sees but never actually Sees. Likely because I'm chronically ill with invisible disabilities. I am very used to judgement but also just not being seen at the very same time. But it is… Continue reading Artwork: faceless
Artwork: Migraine charcoal drawing

Artwork: Figure pose in two mediums
I've been doing some work on my figures with different practice on poses. As well as exploring other things to develop my skills. This has been a great hobby during the pandemic for sure.

Artwork: Practicing figure poses
So it is the end of the year. A year of my new hobby in drawing. It has been an interesting progression I think. I spent a lot of time of figure work because I enjoy it but not the entire time. For Christmas I did get some art supplies and some art books. And… Continue reading Artwork: Practicing figure poses

It has been a brutal migraine season with these rather lovely winter days but dramatic shifts in barometric pressure. And so it has inspired some migraine art from me today.
