Posting some more sketches I've been working on while I finish the sable antelope artwork. I was following the wonderful art of Sarah Dean. I hope I can pick up some of her skill! #art #traditionalart #sketches #drawing #horse #equine #horseart #blueskyart

Some sketches of a sable antelope from photos. Getting ready for a new piece. They really are beautiful animals! #art #sketches #sciart #wildlife #nature #traditionalart #antelope #Africa ##blueskyart

One of my favorite fantasy pieces I did, so I just have to post her again! I'm very pleased with how the shimmery parts turned out, especially while using pastels. The original is up for sale on Ebay. Link in the comments. #art #traditionalart #fantasy #fantasyart #pastels #mermaid #ocean #sea

I did this one a few years back as a gift. It was the first time I had success mixing marker and charcoal. I still love the energy of the piece! #art #sciart #traditionalart #wildlife #nature #wolves #charcoalart #blueskyart #canine

Practice I was working on from photos. I was trying to get a natural look in the poses and the clothing. Definitely has my style though.☺️ #art #traditionalart #sketches #drawing #blueskyart

I'm so happy with this piece! ! I love how the snow and the leopard's tail turned out. Snow leopards are such majestic creatures, so I had to draw one! The original is up for sale on Ebay! A link is in the comments. #art #traditionalart #sciart #wildlife #snowleopard #charcoalart #nature #cat

Did this one on the fly. I've always enjoyed Fred Astaire's dancing and one of my favorites is, Say it with firecrackers. Been thinking about it alot today so I did this quick sketch. #art #traditionalart #sketch #pencil #dancing #forthofjuly #fredastaire #firecrackers

This one I did off of a lovely Peruvian paso I knew a long time ago. Her name was Lily. I was surprised by how textured the paper was,but she still turned out beautiful! The original is now up for sale on Ebay! Link in the comments. #art #traditionalart #horseart #equineart #horse #charcoalart

This is a charming little cat I sometimes see during my walk. I call her Lassie. She has such a cute face and lovely markings! #cat #catsofbluesky #caturday #photo #cute

This piece was inspired by the lighting and soft color look. It was larger than the size I usually work, so it had some unique challenges for me, but the end results were fantastic! The original artwork is up for sale on Ebay! #art #traditionalart #pastelart #fantasy #fantasyart #japanese

Practicing working with gouache. I followed a couple of great tutorials by Ruth Wilshaw for these two. They were amazingly fun to work on! #art #traditionalart #landscape #gouache #forest #sea

Herons are such majestic birds and with their amazing feathers, it doesn't take much to draw them in a dramatic way! This piece fell together rather smoothly for me and I still learned a lot in the process. The original is up for sale on Ebay! #art #sciart #traditionalart #birdart #wildlife #heron

I was hoping to post my art piece today but the last several days have been surprisingly busy 😅. Anyway here is a fantastic photo my sister took of our nearby lake! I was amazed! #photo #landscape #lake #blueskyphotography #clouds

Working on a new charcoal piece and thought I'd practice on my herons. They are such beautiful birds! #art #traditionalart #sketches #wildlife #sciart #bird #birdart #heron

My cat Whiteboots, rolling in the sun and looking especially fuzzy.🥰 #cats #caterday #catsofbluesky #tuxedo #cute

This one was quite enjoyable to work on! The lighting, blurred background,and doing the Grevy's zebra, which I'm less familiar with drawing, were all unque challenges for me. The original is up for sale on Ebay! #art #traditionalart #sciart #wildlife #zebra #equine #africananimal #charcoalart

The finished #arknights piece I made as a gift! It was done in pastels on sanded paper. An neat piece to work on and it certainly challenged me with the lighting. #art #traditionalart #animeart #pastelart #matialart

I haven't played #arknights, but I did these sketches to practice for a gift I was making for someone. The design of the characters was really neat and a pleasure to draw! #art #traditionalart #sketches #anime #chongyue #tianpei #furryart #gachagames

This one was interesting to work on. I wondered how well pastel pencils would show up on toned paper and here is the finished result! The original artwork is up for sale on Ebay! #art #traditionalart #fantasyart #fantasy #elf #woman #charcoalart

African wild dogs are so beautiful! I thought drawing them in charcoal would look stunning and here they are! It was an interesting challenge with their mottled coats and long legs. This beautiful piece is up for sale on Ebay! #art #traditionalart #sciart #wildlife #africananimal #dogs #nature

Starting to try out gouache painting. I followed some nice tutorials with nature themes to get a feel for the medium. I can tell it will take awhile before I can really get painting,but so far I'm liking it! #art #traditionalart #natureart #gouache #painting

Definitely one of my favorites! Working on this piece I was feeling energized and inspired. Using gray marker for the base coat then charcoal on top gave the horse a rich silky appearance. The original is up for sale on Ebay! #art #traditionalart #horseart #charcoalart #horse

Another fan art piece. Finished episode 12 of Trigun stampede and was so impressed with the fight scene! The original image was poster art I believe. This was done in colored pencils and pen and ink. #fanart #trigun #traditionalart #coloredpencilart #anime #vash

Elven scholar.I did this piece in pastels and colored pencil. The books took some time to work on but I was really happy with how the lighting turned out! The original piece is up for sale on Ebay. #art #traditionalart #fantasy #elf #pastelart #books #scholar

Yesterday was my grandmother's birthday, so I thought I'd post a pastel piece I had made her a couple of years ago. She loves owls and this one was so cute to work on. 🥰 Ps. The picture is tilted because I couldn't avoid a glare. #art #traditionalart #pastelart #sciart #birdart #owl #wildlife

Just had to do some fan art. I've been enjoying the anime Trigun stampede of late. Not usually my favored genere but, Wow! Very impressed. #art #traditionalart #fanart #trigun #vash #amime #animeart #penandink

I love gazelle. They are so pretty and graceful. I believe this was my first try at using a white pen for the highlights and was thrilled with the results! The original is up for sale on Ebay. #art #traditionalart #africananimal #wildlife #sciart #charcoal #gazelle

Here is an otter I recently posted. They have such amazing rudder tails.

Done in pastels and colored pencil, this piece took me three attempts at the drawing to get it the way I wished and longer than nessisary to psyche myself up to do the sky. Worth it in the end! The original is up for sale on Ebay. #art #traditionalart #fantasyart #fantasy #wings #avianman #sky

This was a special sighting! While walking near our lake we got to see these lovely Canadian goslings! They were so cute! #birdphotography #geese #birdoftheday #socute
