Just a bag with a bunch of folds that were super fun to draw. #stilllife #pensketch #Bic4color #BicCristal #pastelpencil #strathmoretonedtan #ballpointpensketch #sketch #dessin #drawingfolds

Something different from my usual face-only portrait. I love some extreme foreshortening, so the reference photo I drew this from automatically attracted me to it! (Side note: That checkerboard pattern on the Vans nearly did me in! 😂)

Played around a while with wrinkles on this #Earthsworld guy. #portrait #procreate #ipadpro #applepencil #sketch #dessin #digitalart #digitalpainting #digitalsketch #drawingwrinkles #dupapencilbrush #gouachebrush

One of my favs from “Beyond the Gates,” the great Clifton Davis who plays patriarch, Vernon Dupree. I’ve watched this show from day 1 and it’s only getting better and better! (And I’ve loved Clifton from his “Amen” days!)

A rough-looking pair of hands. #drawinghands #howIdrawhands #procreate #ipadpro #applepencil #sketch #dessin #digitalart #digitalpainting #digitalsketch #dupapencilbrush #gouachebrush

I recently watched season 11 of Portrait Artist of the Year and took a couple of screenshots of Andy Serkis and his wife Lorraine Ashbourne as they posed during the finale. Thought I’d give a double-portrait a try!

Back to Earthsworld and my tried & true fav brushes, the gouache brush and the dupa pencil brush. #portrait #procreate #ipadpro #applepencil #sketch #dessin #digitalart #digitalpainting #digitalsketch #drawingglasses #drawingfacialhair #earthsworld

Trying out the new Swansea pencil brush with a quick sketch of a cute little Pug I found on the Interwebz. #animalportrait #drawingdogs #procreate #ipadpro #applepencil #sketch #dessin #digitalart #digitalsketch #pug #dogsofinstagram #swanseapencilbrush

The gorgeous Donna Mills here has been the most difficult to draw out of all the Knots people I’ve done so far. Soon, I’ll do a separate post of all 3 of the “We’re Knot Done Yet” ladies together!

It was fun trying something a little different by bringing out the tortillion for this pencil sketch. #portrait #graphite #tortillion #graphiteart #graphitedrawing #bristolvellum #drawingwithpencil #pencildrawing #pencilart #pencilportrait #pencilsketch #sketch #dessin #earthsworld

Still playing with the new Procreate brushes. This one was done mainly with the Cumulus gouache brush. #portrait #procreate #ipadpro #applepencil #sketch #dessin #digitalart #digitalpainting #digitalsketch #earthsworld #cumulusbrush

Did a fun zendoodle while binging 10 episodes of soaps this weekend! Inspired by @trinelisevollen 🖤 This was so much fun—I will definitely be doing a series of these! #zentangle #zentangleart #drawing #zendoodle #zentanglepatterns #doodleart #sketch #dessin #fineliner

I got back into watching Portrait Artist of the Year now that it’s available on Prime—so I felt the need to do some unfinished self-portrait studies. I do love a fish-eye lens!

Another Knots Landing fav, Michele Lee (aka, Karen Fairgate Mackenzie). #portrait #procreate #ipadpro #applepencil #sketch #dessin #digitalart #digitalsketch #lilydalebrush #scopusbrush #scriptbrush #knotslanding #knotslandingrewatch #MicheleLee #KarenFairgateMackenzie #wereknotdoneyet

This cool Earthsworld guy gave me a chance to test out some of the new brushes included in the Procreate update that was released this week.

Back to Knots Landing with probably my favorite male character, Greg Sumner, played by William Devane. Greg is one of those wonderfully complex characters that I love—neither entirely good nor completely bad, but rather a mix of both.

Took a departure from Knots Landing and travelled back over to Earthsworld for this one. #portrait #procreate #ipadpro #applepencil #sketch #dessin #digitalart #digitalpainting #digitalsketch #eldersketchermanbrush #gouachebrush #earthsworld

I decided to challenge myself by trying to capture #PresidentObama in colored pencil, which is not my usual medium of choice. While not completely thrilled with the outcome, I’m proud I pushed through & kept adding layers of color instead of giving up in the super-ugly stage. #coloredpencildrawing

When I saw the ad of the Ineos Grenadier that I drew this from, I knew I had to give it a try. Even though this is far from realistic (especially the vehicle), I had the best time scribbling away at it. Just when I thought I was done, I’d do more. But I finally decided to call it finished!

Back to the cul-de-sac of Knots Landing. Here we have “Sweet Pea” herself, Valene Ewing—otherwise known as “poor Val.” I think she was more like “resilient Val” because of all she went through & came out stronger on the other side!

Another Knots Landing rendering. I’ve reached s9 in my rewatch which is when the character of Frank Williams arrived on the cul-de-sac. (I always liked his round glasses.) During his time on Knots, actor Larry Riley was diagnosed with HIV and wound up passing from AIDS-related kidney failure.

Continuing my Knots Landing portraits, this is “somewhat” Ted Shackelford. Gary could be infuriating as can be (as so many of them were!), but he was also one of my favorite characters. His goofy laugh always made me smile! Used the 6B pencil brush & chalk brush for this one.

Practicing drawing animals with my friend’s sweet doggo who recently crossed the rainbow bridge. #animalportrait #drawinganimals #procreate #ipadpro #applepencil #sketch #dessin #digitalart #digitalpainting #digitalsketch #acrylicbrush #6Bpencilbrush #rainbowbridge #dogsofinstagram

I’ve been scribbling on this old tractor for a few days. This was so much fun, I might just do an analog version of a similar type of tractor! #drawingtractors #procreate #ipadpro #applepencil #sketch #dessin #digitalart #digitalpainting #digitalsketch #derwentpencilbrush

Since I’m all the way into my Knots Landing re-watch, I thought I’d draw some of my favorite characters/actors in no particular order. Here’s Doug Sheehan who played Ben Gibson—sadly Doug passed away last year at age 75.

Animal rendering practice. I spotted the photo of this cutie in an Iams (I think) ad. #animalportrait #drawinganimals #procreate #ipadpro #applepencil #sketch #dessin #digitalart #digitalpainting #digitalsketch #dogsofinstagram #beagle #acrylicbrush #procreatepencilbrush

I feel like I need to make a t-shirt of this because this is my mood on a daily basis these days! Also, it’s been a while since I’ve tackled teeth! #portrait #drawingfaces #pensketch #bic4color #biccristal #pastelpencil #strathmoretonedtan #ballpointpensketch #sketch #dessin #jyportraitchallenge

Some juicy looking fruit. Drawn from a reference photo I grabbed from #WorkshopWeek. #stilllife #drawingfruit #procreate #ipadpro #applepencil #sketch #dessin #digitalart #digitalpainting #digitalsketch #workshopweek #essentialpencilbrush

This Earthsworld person reminded me of a strange cross between my mom and Lillimae Clements from Knots Landing! 🤣 I had fun making some of my own hair texture brushes in Procreate, but wound up drawing a lot of it in with the standard brush pen.

It’s been a good while since I’ve done a pencil sketch. Couldn’t resist the awesome photo of such a beautiful person, amazing angle & expression, and, of course, glasses! #portrait #graphite #pastelpencil #strathmoretonedgray #pencildrawing #sketch #dessin #drawingglasses #jyportraitchallenge

I started slowly with the face of this kitty cat, but then decided to go fast and loose with the body. 😁 #animalportrait #drawingcats #procreate #ipadpro #applepencil #sketch #dessin #digitalart #digitalsketch #adobestock #catsofinstagram #pandapencilbrush

Gave up on this one before I got to the hair. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #portrait #drawingfaces #pensketch #bic4color #pastelpencil #strathmoretonedtan #ballpointpensketch #sketch #dessin #drawingglasses #earthsworld

Just a quick-ish sketchy one while binging on my soaps this weekend. (Anyone watch Y&R and/or Beyond the Gates?) #portrait #procreate #ipadpro #applepencil #sketch #dessin #digitalart #digitalsketch #pandapencibrush #earthsworld

I have a small veggie garden growing right now, but no tomatoes (not a fan of them), however, that doesn’t mean I can’t draw them! #stilllife #drawingveggies #procreate #ipadpro #applepencil #sketch #dessin #digitalart #digitalpainting #digitalsketch #6Bpencilbrush #scriptbrush #acrylicbrush

Loved this @Earthsworld hooman’s face, but, not gonna lie, her hair made me want to draw her! #portrait #procreate #ipadpro #applepencil #sketch #dessin #digitalart #digitalpainting #digitalsketch #purplehairdontcare #6Bpencilbrush #gouachebrush #scriptbrush #earthsworld

Sweet little Sandy who has sadly gone over the 🌈 Bridge. I didn’t know her personally, but she was a Chiweenie like my baby who gave her family the same unconditional love that mine gives to me.

It seems my new favorite thing is drawing flowers with a fineliner! Also decided to try out my watercolor pencils which gave me some much-needed control, supplemented by water-based markers. #drawingflowers #pensketch #fineliner #prismacolorpremier #watercolorpencils #waterbasedmarkers #sketch

Not sure this one is “finished,” but it’s done. #portrait #procreate #ipadpro #applepencil #sketch #dessin #digitalart #digitalpainting #digitalsketch #6Bpencilbrush #Salamancabrush #gouachebrush #drawingglasses #drawingbeards #earthsworld

I call this one “The Billionaire.” 🫤 #animalportrait #drawinganimals #procreate #ipadpro #applepencil #sketch #dessin #digitalart #digitalpainting #digitalsketch #turkeyvulture #eatherich

This guy got much too large for the paper, but at least I kept him off the edges. I’ve missed scratching away w/pen though, & these Bic & Papermate oranges were super satisfying. #portrait #drawingfaces #Bic #Papermate #StrathmoreTonedTan #ballpointpensketch #sketch #dessin #drawingfacialhair

Hands with veins, wrinkles, lines, spots, and scars are so beautiful to me. They have a ton of personality which makes them fun (but not EASY) to draw! #howIdrawhands #drawinghands #procreate #ipadpro #applepencil #sketch #dessin #digitalpainting #digitalsketch #6Bpencilbrush #gouachebrush

Sometimes when my dog’s vet posts photos of their other clients, I can’t help but draw them! This little sweetheart is a mini Dachshund puppy. #animalportrait #procreate #ipadpro #applepencil #sketch #dessin #digitalart #digitalsketch #dachshund #6Bpencilbrush

I finished this the other day, but I kept forgetting to post it! I like to think this is a hip Santa Claus at the state fair! #portrait #procreate #ipadpro #sketch #dessin #digitalpainting #digitalsketch #6Bpencilbrush #salamancabrush #gouachebrush #drawingbeards #drawingglasses #earthsworld

Kamala Harris: The American people deserve leaders who make their lives better, and make our country stronger. But sadly, we have seen quite the opposite over these past few months.

In between creating protest posters (😎) I’ve been scribbling on these three. I grabbed the reference pic from a random social media post. #drawingcars #howIdrawcars #procreate #ipadpro #sketch #dessin #digitalart #digitalpainting #digitalsketch #salamancabrush #6Bpencilbrush #scriptbrush

This @Earthsworld guy was more challenging than I thought he’d be, but I pushed through! #portrait #procreate #ipadpro #applepencil #sketch #dessin #digitalpainting #digitalsketch #gouachebrush #6Bpencilbrush #earthsworld
