I’m using watercolour, ink and pencil to take things out of my current sketchbook and bring them to life a little. This is a recent favourite of mine ☺️💚 #sketchbook #knight #fantasyart #watercolour #ink

‘Genesis’ @artwork500 💚 I’m really confused by this piece 😅 Its made of acrylic, ink, collage and lots of muttering to myself. 😂 artwork500.co.uk/product-cate... #painting #timelapse #originalart #artforsale #freelanceart

Quick before and after comparison of a recent sketchbook piece that I threw just a little bit of watercolour at 🖤 #watercolour #sketchbook #fantasy #firbolg #elf

What if I drew Pokémon? I decided to have a go at a bit of Pokémon fan-art in my sketchbook today and it somehow evolved into this watercolour and ink piece. The Pokémon appearing in this is Tyrantrum and an original trainer called Esme. #pokemon #pokemonart #fanart #pokemoncommunity #fanart

I have absolutely no idea what the hell is going on anymore #collage #abstractart #workinprogress #creativity #ahhhhh

A 10 minute sketch from last week that I think could go somewhere given enough time and thought. #elf #sketchbook #sketchdaily #fantasyart #ink

One of my favourite double-page spreads in my sketchbook since starting my timed sketch practice almost a week ago. It’s very stark, very simple and very satisfying. 🖤 #animalsketch #sketchbook #practicemakesprogress #ink #foxsketch

Here are two of the sketches from yesterday when the theme was ‘warriors’. The image on the left was 3 minutes with just pencil. The image on the right was 10 minutes with just fine liners. #sketchbook #sketching #sketchdaily #warriors #selfimprovement

Progress is happening and it is glorious! #workinprogress #paintingprogress #freelanceart #canvaspaintings #psychedelicart www.facebook.com/share/r/1CyN...

Sketching out a new painting that I’m tentatively referring to as ‘Daisy.’ I’m feeling that fluorescent pink and heavy black acrylics paint are going to feature very prominently in the final version 🤔 #sketch #methodology #workinprogress #ink #drawing

‘Important Cargo’ A new, self directed, handmade illustration inspired by cats, gothic visuals, supervillains and…well, cats. #cats #gothic #gothicart #darkart #illustration

More sketchbook stuff! #sketchbook #sketching #sketch #ink #pencil

Into the sketchbook! Trying to make this a frequent thing as I really enjoy looking back over things I did in a haze of pencil and ink and trying to make sense of them - or at least view them in a different headspace to the one that created them. #ink #pencil #sketch #sketchbook #artistsketchbook

Another illustration that never saw the light of day, mainly because I created it as a portfolio piece and it got lost in a slew of work for other projects that took precedence at the time. #lostart #illustration #darkart #handmadeart #horrorartist

Messing around with negative space in the sketchbook again. This was actually based on a character in one of my favourite Japanese horror films - I won’t say which one because then there’s a chance you might find out what a bad likeness this is 😅 #sketchbook #negativespace #drawing #japan

A random piece last year that never saw the light of day for one reason or another. #illustration #grunge #darkart #freelanceillustrator #ink

I’ve been looking through old sketchbooks recently, which is something I don’t do too often due to the mutterings of ‘what was I thinking?’ it tends to inspire. However; this double page spread is pretty cool 🖤 #sketchbook #artist #selfreflect #dragon #ink

Here’s a picture of yours truly with a new painting called ‘Tentacular’ which goes a decent way towards bridging the gap between my dark illustration work and my bright, acrylic and ink canvas painting Currently available through @artwork500 #artforsale #painting #tentacles #dark #freelancer

Had half an hour to fill with something meaningful - so I drew this guy. Nothing fancy going on, just two types of pencil and a very cheap (but very pretty) sketchbook. #punk #japan #pencilsketch #sketchbook #drawing

I’ve had the idea of negative space on my mind recently and the idea that the absence of something can suggest something else entirely. This is a piece from my sketchbook that explores that theme. #sketchbooks #manga #darkart #japan #negativespace

Another day, another random piece in the sketchbook (sketchbooks don’t have to make any sort of sense) #sketchbook #pencildrawing #darkart #art #illustrator

Quick morning addition to the new sketchbook ✍️ #sketchbook #pencilsketches #forestwalk #artist #quicksketch

Didn’t know you needed to see Carrion House artwork in the style of MTG tokens did you? Well, you’re welcome. You can thank the guys at Portals Games & Comics 😌 #mtg #tabletopgames #fantasyart #comics #illustration

Found this in a wardrobe full of my paintings earlier. I remember, quite vividly, hating it when I made it but now I think it’s kinda cool. That’s all this post is about 😅🖤 #skeleton #dark #art #horror #portrait

I definitely didn’t start a new sketchbook alongside my existing one purely because it was a different size and had a pretty cover…🤫🤫🤫 #sketchbook #sketchart #sketchdaily #sketchaday #sketcheveryday #pencil #pencilsketches #pencilartwork #pencilportrait #artist #artiststudio

‘Ana To Me’ is a new piece I created while trying to combine my collage work, my geometric work and my darker colours and messier painting techniques. Original piece: @artwork500 #dark #paint #painting #portrait #abstract #artforsale #artcollector #artist #ukart #indieart #freelancelife

The evenings get darker this time of year and, apparently, so do my illustrations 🖤 #dark #art #illustration #illustrator #horror #strange #ink #ghosts #portraits #messy #paint #freelnceartist

I haven’t done a ‘just collage’ piece in a while - but I found this little canvas hiding behind some frames and had to have a go.
