Ink washes and linework (I drew with a metal nib dip pen). This piece went through a few versions where I paused thinking, "I like it. I don't want to mess it up". Then I got into the headspace of, "what do I have to lose?" I'm glad I kept trying different things. #ink #inkart #featherart

What a misguided and terrible ruling from the EU. They just handed people’s rights, privacy and copyrighted works away for free to a US behemoth. This also affects any company whose work is copyright dependent. I thought the EU was better than this. Shame on them. finance.yahoo.com/news/meta-wi...

New art! Mushroom Queen. Inspired by the model's hat, I drew the figure from life during a class I teach, and then invented the mushrooms. I painted it with watercolor, some gouache, and then inked the lines. I love the sound of a metal dip pen on paper. #FantasyArt #Mushrooms #OriginalArt

Spider Queen, digital painting (not AI). A fun experiment with lighting. My photographer pal and I showed lighting and photographing reference last February at our Photo Reference workshop. We're offering it again this February. theatelier.org/study/worksh... #spiders #ArtWorkshop #DigitalArt

File under: things I look up when working on a project. Today it was the shapes of pupils and what benefit they have. For a personal project. Nifty. Today is a good day. I learned something new :) www.britannica.com/video/eyes-a... pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Anybody else do this? When I need more information for how light and shadow might look on an object in the specific lighting situation of an image I'm working on, my quick solution is to sculpt it in a basic way using my kneaded eraser. Other uses? Stress toy, texture tool for graphite drawings...
