For #ArtAdventCalendar day 16, here’s a face I sketched last weekend. I really love drawing faces, they’re so interesting. Not overly happy with this one but meh, it was fun. Drawn with #Polychromos #pencil 191 Pompeian Red in a mixed media sketchbook. #drawing #face #art #sketch

A monochromatic, rusty red pencil drawing of a girl’s face, scrunched up, caught in a big laugh. She has a mass of wild curls framing her face, her eyes squeezed shut in mirth, and her teeth all visible behind her wide grin.

For #ArtAdventCalendar today, here’s a gouache painting I did in Feb ‘22, one of my faves. #painting #art #gouache

A gouache painting in a sketchbook. The landscape orientated painting is an abstract progression of loose, textured, vertical coloured stripes blended into each other, moving from left through deep red, scarlet, orange, golden yellow, light brown, a thin band of dark brown, dark to lighter green, lemon yellow, golden yellow again then finishing with another thin band of orange on the right edge.

Little froggy I drew a couple of weeks ago 🐸 A wee Northern Dwarf Tree Frog Litoria bicolour 💚 How good is art for stopping doom scrolling? Progress pics in comments. More info in alt text. #drawing #polychromos #copic #pencil #art #artshare 🐡 🐍

Multimedia drawing of a Northern Dwarf Tree Frog Litoria bicolour, from a photo by David Clode in Northern Queensland, Australia.

The frog is mostly green, sitting vertically on a stalk. The drawing was made with Polychromos coloured pencils, over Copics.

My first time using Copics as a base layer under the pencil, and as you’ll see in the progress pics, the Copic layer was kinda messy, but saved me a bunch of time!

Photo of an abstract art piece by Kazland titled “Bad Garden Party Stare”. It is predominantly red, black & white, plus a touch of yellow & pink, in a black wooden box frame, also made by the artist.

Day 15 of #JanuArty is 'animal' so here's some tiny deer standing at the edge of a wood. It's about 3 inches wide. #micron #artwork #handdrawn #inkdrawing #ink #art

A highly detailed pen drawing with ferns in the foreground, a field of flowers, then in the background there are trees and some deer grazing. It's in a folk art type style. At the bottom of the image is a micron pen to indicate scale.

Gina Rinehart is a greedy, ruthless, dangerous environment killer. I already knew that. What I didn’t know was that she’s doing it in other countries too, and getting away with it because of her sheer wealth. Eye-opening read.

I didn’t make anything today so for #artadventcalendar I’m sharing some little matchbooks I made last year at this time for a project called “HUQ! I seek no favor” that was/is a venue for artists responding to the abortion ban. #burnitdown #dontgetmestarted #abortionishealthcare #stepoffamyrightsman

An open matchbox on a white background with a cartoon picture of an angry young woman holding a flaming torch and a stick of dynamite. Text says “Fight Back”, “Strike!” “Vote” and “burn it down”. This image is in the style of vintage Eastern European matchbook art. Images of women were created using Midjourney and then adapted and edited by me in Photoshop.

Images of women were created using Midjourney and then adapted and edited by me in Photoshop.
