The arrival of snowy season births another round of winter landscapes.

One more cat tonight. “Peeking”. Fur practice. Micron pen.

Cat gestures. Ink and grey pencil. Quickies.

We have lost a great artist and a personal inspiration of mine, the incomparable Drew Struzan. The light in his illustrations was exquisite and his movie posters are iconic.

#halloweenart Uneasy ground. (Micron pen and black/grey pencils)

#Halloweenart That’s not a kettle whistle, that’s a teapot banshee! (Micron pen & black pencil)

#Halloweenart Micron pen drawing of an ancient skull with a crown of withered flowers. 👻💀🎃

The great thing about the Rocky Mountains is so many views to scribble.

I always liked autumn walks in the woods. This drawing is inspired by those walks, as practice for textures and rocks.

More drawing practice…wearing out more Micron pens just for fun.

Storm gathering over the badlands. Ink drawing. #natureart #landscapeart

Another burnt illustration from this weekend. Fourth attempt at #pyrography #birdart

Guess who is dabbling in pyrography!

Gave the peacock drawing a layer of colour. #birdart #natureart

Just had to scribble an elephant for #WorldElephantDay #sciart #animalart

Mount Assiniboine drawing in ink on canvas. Happy Saturday all! Have fun = make art!

Illustration of a sulfur-crested cockatoo based on July’s Bird Whisperer reference image. Looking forward to seeing all your cockatoos!

Another rainy day. Another excuse to draw. “Riding the whirlwind.” Micron pen.

Drawing practice… glacial ice, broken chunks and crevasses, Micron pen and blue watercolour. #natureart #sciart #inkart

TFW you walk in on a troll unexpectedly in the sauna… #saunaculture #finland #inkdrawing #tonttu

I had to sketch this one because she reminds me of my aunt. Quick but affectionate…

Just keep on swimming?

Castle Mountain in Banff National Park, scribbled in pen and watercolour washes. #mountainart #nature

Wise guy, drawn with pigment pen. Hope you’re having good weekends. 😉

It’s too hot to do anything strenuous, so it’s fur practice time. Fineline pigment pen. #nature #animalart

Recent drawing practice, just for fun.

It’s Cowboy Cosplay Days again. Yahoo. I don’t care much for rodeo events, but I do cheer on for the bulls.

a little bit late for thursday #PortraitChallenge but here is my version of *boy eating a watermelon* by joaquín sorolla –– #schwarzmalerin #kleinekunstklasse

Been busy…every minute spent drawing feels like a minute stolen from some responsibility. Sorry, not sorry. This quickie of the road to Moraine Lake had to happen. (Watercolour added version first and pen drawing. Messy but fun.) #banff #mountainart

Pan, in the fullness of time.

If you’ve driven the Icefields Parkway, chances are you stopped at the viewpoint and snapped this view. Everybody seems to have this photo. This is a very scribbly drawing of the same. #mountainart #icefieldsparkway

Karen Carp. Offishal mascot of those who do nothing but complain. Any similarity to any fish or person living or dead is merely a coincidence. 😆

Spring days: Mount Kidd, if I remember right, in the Kananaskis area. Drawn with pigment pen and watercolour. #mountainart

I’ve never seen a Kingfisher except in photos, but they are so striking. I’m wondering if they are top-heavy, their heads seem so big compared to their bodies. (Bird practice, pigment pen and watercolour)

Another piece of scrap cardboard art. Not ever going to be displayed anywhere (but here), drawing such things give me soothing and enjoyable diversion.

Been a meh day, nothing for it but to post a baleful chicken. Goodnight to you all!

@rikedraws.bsky.social Happiest Birthday Wishes to you, Dear Rike!

May the Fourth be with you. Happy Star Wars Day!

Something a little different…bovine royalty in pigment pen. Can’t decide on a name: Cowmilla? Moodicca? Her Hamburgerness? Moolania? I dunno.

Always room for another sketch of Athabasca Falls… time to leave behind the winter scenes and lean into warmer season drawings. #icefieldsparkway #jnp #bnp

Hope everyone’s having a great weekend! It’s rather grey here, but that inspired this drawing of a derelict house.

More scrap cardboard art, this time a close up of a cat that closely resembles my first cat, a rescue from a bowling alley parking lot.

If you see this, post something monochromatic. #art #bskyart #indigogörlsclub #kleineKunstklasse

View from Mount Norquay, Banff. Drawn in pigment pen and watercolour. #mountainart #inkart

A little late, but here’s my version - quickly drawn with black pencil and pastel on scrap cardboard. .

Insomnia art again… spring apple blossoms drawn with marker, gel pen and acrylic paint on scrap cardboard.

A snowy weekend, so it’s mountain drawing time. This is Moraine Lake in Banff National Park. Ink and watercolour. #mountainart #inkart

Insomnia art, drawn with marker and gel pen on scrap cardboard. #insomniaart #abandonship

This is Mount Thor on Baffin Island - I would love to see it in person one day! #mountainart #inkart #picturetourism
