Disney cats are my favorite cats

From my sketchbook, ink and paint on paper.

you robbed your drawing style from someone else - that stuff you're doing isn't original or unique its just a subconscious appropriation, an amalgamation of stuff you looked at that someone else did already and your imagination is just regurgitating what you saw somewhere before.

plagiaristic mark making in progress someone call the originality police - this person just drew a butterfly using similar visual building blocks to someone who is or has been alive in human history.

is uniqueness an illusion the ego creates? - why does"personal style" seem less important to eastern cultures? - see anime what about children's drawings, naive art, cave painting and the great collective and recognizable art styles of ancient civilizations?

It was recently put to me that I draw in the style of someone else - that my work is a kind of copy - this was most probably an attempt to shake my confidence and make me feel sad about my creations..LOL what fun!

It has however sparked numerous conversations on twitter and in the real world and I would like to extend my deepest heartfelt thanks to those of you who continue to support my art.

I'm not against copying, I think mark making will inevitably become an individual expression even if the drawer is consciously trying to replicate a pre existing method/formula.

a while back I discovered someone had blatantly ripped off a poster I'd done to such a degree it was just funny - I wasn't mad or upset I was just amazed. I'm not a big copyright enforcer activist or anything and I realize it's all a big kind of boiling pot.

If you like my work and the things I like we may end up drawing something in a similar fashion and thats ok - if you want to draw one of my characters please feel free to do so - it would be nice of you to credit me but not essential to my ego.

all are welcome here :-)

Street art in Florence, Italy.

A small urge to draw a Taiora sketch. Sadly I don't feel comfortable with TaichixSora any longer so he feels a bit uncomfy too. ^^;;; I still need to practice bodies and stuff, but some random stuff I've been working on. ^__^;

drawing with pencil makes me feel weird.

I hardly ever draw architecture or landscapes so these aren't exciting, but it was good to challenge myself

Zombie love :P

drawings from the saturady drawing sessions we used to have in our old studio...

she told me she wanted some cat ears, so she got some cat ears

These five drawings were made at a lovely educational dinner event I attended this week, hosted by Ute Korallus and cooked by Inés Lauber. For the guests who attended:

- these drawings belong to you as much as me- we made them together! All my event drawings are licensed Creative Commons Attribution NonCommercial NoDerivativeWorks.

That means you can print a copy and frame it, put it on a greeting card for your family, use it as a profile pic, email it to anyone you want. Any personal use is fine! You just can't use them for something you'd make money off, like mass-produced t-shirts.

All you need to do is make sure that it's credited as "By Suzanne Forbes, artist." If you want to own the original drawing, it's 50 to 100 euros depending on the amount of work involved in the particular drawing.

My working look: bun, fluffy bunny pajama and paws hanging on the chair while I measure and figure pattern sizes.

*Picture doesn't belong to me!*

Well, it's an eye obviously. First drawing I've done in a while. I'm rather impressed with myself.

Recently "da Vinci boom" around my friends, why not, join the party!!

But...well, the result isn't so nice, end up with something rather different..hahaha

Never mind, put texture on it (Big thank you always to SkeletalMess : flic.kr/p/8xY5iE), and faked it more "likely"...

Eh... indeed, he was left handed...
