2021. Arteza colored pencils and Sakura Pigma Micron pens on Comet Art sketchbook. about 10x17.
Based on a photo by Craig Goettsch, with his kind permission:
This drawing consists of three layers: 0.5 mm graphite, pigma microns, and colored pencils. The second layer was completely useless, detrimental to the result and was quite a loss of my time.

I grew up with this portrait on my bookshelf. Initially I thought it's a portrait of Louis Aragon, since that's what the book next to it had it on its spine. But then I started reading (and re-reading) all his works, first in Russian, and later in English. I miss this old portrait. I need to get back to reading his works too.
A couple of firsts for me:
1) using a grid (it does help!)
2) using smooth bristol with CPs

I may have spoilt this drawing of our previous dog Sam but I like to carry on to the end, in the hope I've created something decent! I started off last week with my watercolour pencils, but for Mother's Day (last Sunday), Matt gave me some fine liner pens and I got a bit carried away here! I started with my Arteza 'real brush' pens which were deeper coloured than I expected! So I had to carry on, and I added some small detail with the new pens Matt gave me!
So this is Sam, who we adopted in this country in 2000. We were told he was around 2 years old. He'd been with a couple who had come home drunk one night. One of them sat on him and he bit them, so was taken to the police station where they asked for him to be put to sleep! It was obvious he wasn't a dangerous dog and sent to the rescue centre. An elderly couple had tried to take him on but found he was too energetic and strong, so we ended up with him! We had him till 2014, but had to have him put to sleep when his back legs wouldn't work and he had daily accidents around the house. He was a lovely gentle dog.

When I bv read Dune in High School, I wanted to be a fremen. They are mysterious masters of the harsh desert planet Arrakis. Fierce survivors, they become the fighting force of Leto Atreides, who in an act of betrayal by House Harkonen is cast into the deadly desert of Dune. Leto becomes their Mua dib...their prophesied leader. He leads them to destroy the spice production...the only notable thing about Arrakis. The spice powers minds and space travel and is critical to the economic and political systems of the universe. Use of the spice turns the white of the eyes blue, a sign of the Fremen. With spice production crippled, the houses gather on Dune for a war. The mysterious Fremen are so insignificant that their fighting prowess is overlooked, and it is reported that squads of women children and old men were destroying and capturing the dreaded Sardaukar soldiers (pictured here). Under Mau dib they overthrow the emporer, changing the power of the universe.
Saw this lover’s lock attached to a bridge in Airlie Gardens, Wilmington, NC and snapped a shot just before the maintenance staff sawed it off! Somehow, I hope my painting has immortalized it for whomever placed it there. 💛 Watercolor and white gouache in Arteza watercolor sketchbook.
I'm sure how I feel about watercolor pens....especially when I'm not really using watercolor paper. Well here's another go at them. For inktober day 2...wisp....a P51 Mustang (perhaps the most beautiful plane ever built) squares off agsinst an Me 109, amidst the wisp(y) cirrus clouds, high over Germany, in the waning days of WWII....I can't quite ever bring myself to kill people in my drawings (unless they're undead, or dragons, halloween drawings etc) so despite the Me 109 pilot faring badly in this encounter, I always leave it ambiguous and hope he landed in an asparagus field... got out of his mangled plane...looked himself over and realizing nothing but bumps and bruises.....sagt "danke Gott"......then kicked his sooty oil soaked plane (a panel falls off) and trudges off into the forested countryside to a nearby villiage.

Challenge name: "Dial" June 2018 monthly challenge.
I worked to the very last minute to finish this one. I think I had the most fun creating this one out of all the other challenges. The materials I used were the arteza real brush pens as a underpainting and then continued working up the piece using a combination of the Arteza and Prismacolor colored pencils. The paper I used is the Strathmore toned gray mixed media.
A few days ago I tried out my Arteza pens and did two pictures: a dog that looks like a lion (rough collie) and a lion!! I wouldn't consider selling them, but I enjoyed the freedom of splashing colour wherever I wanted!
I had the pencil lines done for these doodles on those days but I had been having too much fun cooking and playing with the new alcohol ink lately! So I am back to finish watercoloring today.

I never expected to see a Keel-billed Toucan, more so one flying in California. :) But I got lucky this year: one such exotic bird escaped captivity and for the last several months it's been hanging around some dental offices, a short drive from my house. Surprisingly, it survived through rain, hail and freezing temperatures of this historic winter. Many thanks to Mark who allowed me to use his photo for this drawing.
Done with Arteza coloured pencils on Clairefontaine Gris paper, these have a super colour collection and have a waxy feel to them.

Some great drawing advices from an online class from Domestika, an effort to reduce trash, and the last portion from the last snow over stones from my daily walk.
