Sumi Eagle

Sumi Eagle done with four different tones of grey markers, two colors of yellow and a ink brush with black ink.  All done in a Japanese Sumi style.

Nuthatch Sumi

This is a Nuthatch done with Ink brush and markers.  Nuthatch's are a bark crawling bird going up and down the tree looking for insects.

Squawking Bird

Tonight's activity is a continuation of the ink brush work.  I used a combination of grey markers, two blues, pink, yellow and orange, with a little brown on the branches.  All are blended to get the shapes.

Bluebird and Chrysanthemum

More experiments with markers and ink brush.  I like the bird but I need to work on the flower.  I need to change its size and offset it from the same level of the bird.  So bird good, flower needs work.

Bluebird of Happiness

I returned to working with marker and a brush pen to do this Bluebird perched in a blossoming tree.

Rough In - Kerri Scuba

I roughed i this today as part of my Father's Day fun.  It is a little rougher than I would like especially in the face but I will work this some more to get it the way it needs to be of my Daughter Kerri.  This is from a few years ago after her first scuba dive.  This was done in oil paint.

Quick sketches - Body shapes

Worked some pencil sketches on shapes to break down the human body into tubes, cones and ovals.
