My second monthly drawings in the Hobonichi Weeks, this time for September! It's so much fun to try to fill the little blocks every single day. #hobonichi #hobonichiweeks #dailydrawing

Monthly planner spread filled with small comic-style daily doodles summarizing events from August. Work, printing, new vinyl and record fair visits, market days, gym and game/movie nights, all drawn in black ink with neon-green highlights.

Same notebook with daily doodles from before, but zoomed in on the left page.

Felt like drawing Leon. While I love Leon with his dirty blond hair from the later games, OG RE2 Leon with his deep brown hair will always be my favourite ❤️ 🫶 #leonkennedy #rebhfun #rebhfanart

I got a set of Gouache and paper from a client last year but never got the chance to try it out. Florals are always my go-to subject to draw when experimenting with new materials! Made with Royal Talens Gouache, Bruynzeel Color Pencils and Caran d'Ache Neocolor II Pastel Crayons on Cotton paper.

I've been watching a lot of gardening content on YouTube (Just Alex's content in particular) and I'm itching to transform my balcony into a mini garden this year. Does anyone have any recommendations for great YouTube channels about that topic? 🌱🪴 #gardening #gardenillustration #art

I don't promote my shop very often but I promised myself to put my work out here, even though it's scary sometimes! If you're like me and need a reminder to eat your greens, these stickers will do the trick! #shopupdate #smallbusiness #stickersheet #cuteart

Made this quick 10 minute drawing for today! Unfortunately my arm is starting to hurt from all the work I'm doing, so I might need to take a break for a while. Filling a whole page with black crayons feels so cathartic, though! #neopastels #botanicalsketch #traditionalart #dailydrawing

Even though it's almost the end of the year, I can still hear the birds chirping every morning when I wake up. Makes me feel like it's spring! It's unfortunate we don't have this beautifully coloured laughing dove where I live. #laughingdove #naturedrawing #creativesofinstagram #whimsicalart
