Ooh! Piirsin just ihmeellisen kirahvin ennen kuin näin tän!

Avoin luonnoskirja, jossa kuvitustyylinen piirros kirahvista (pää ja kaula), jolla on pyöreät, pinkkisankaiset ja violettilinssiset aurinkolasit ja kaulassa pinkki, violettipilkkuinen huivi, jonka päät lentelevät tuulessa. Taustaksi on läiskitty vihreää ja keltaista vesiväriä.

S-Pankin nimissä tulee näköjään jotain kalastelusähköposteja. Lähetysosoite on .nl-päätteinen, selvästi tätä huijausta varten luotu.

Onni toimi tämän päiväisen luonnokseni mallina.

Valokuva avoimesta luonnoskirjasta, jossa sekatekniikalla maalattu ja piirretty musta kissa katsoo vihreänkeltaisilla silmillä intensiivisesti ylöspäin kohti katsojaa. Kissan häntä on J-kirjaimen muotoinen.

Thank you @tonij.bsky.social for my new table easel! ❤️

Photo of a white table filled with art and art supplies. In the middle there’s a wooden table easel with a wip painting of pink and yellow and red colours on a smallish square canvas on it and a messy palette on the bottom. Behind the easel there’s a bear painting as well as other paintings which are only partially visible.

Yesterday I almost forgot to draw in my daily sketchbook. While journaling before bed I did this quick watercolour and brush pen doodle. #art #sketchbook #drawing #artist

A photo of an open sketchbook, with two simplified foxes sitting back to back drawn with red watercolour and some black ink detailing, on a wooden desk. The fox on the left is looking somewhere behind you and the other sniffs the air with eyes closed.

Went to the movies. Won a bit of popcorn. 😳 Might be eating popcorn for breakfast, lunch, dinner…

Photo of a huge sack of popcorn on a red movie theatre seat. The sack takes the whole seat.

New video coming today! Chat and whimsical faces. #art #supportartists

A screenshot from a video with an open sketchbook and a hand on it apparently painting with a waterbrush. There are unfinished whimsical faces on the sketchbook spread. The sketchbook is on a wooden table and on the right top corner there’s a partial watercolour pan visible.

New video on my #YouTube channel in about 5 and half hours. #supportartists #art

A screenshot from a video with an open sketchbook on a wooden table and a hand on it holding a pink marker drawing something. There’s an underlying sketch made with neon pink colour pencil, some kind of almost abstract looking lines, like an alien tree or plant or something (it’s coral). Partially visible there’s a watercolour pan above the sketchbook.
