A recent photo of my sketchbook, still training with ballpoint pen directly, a cruel training. But I am beginning to get a better ability to imagine perspective grids without tracing them, and I can even begin to plan full-page compositions. It takes a while to build these new skills, but they are worth it.

#sketchbook #training #FediArt #ballpointpen

Photo of a double page from my sketchbook: in the middle a Bic ballpoint thin, on the left page: a top-down view of a female warrior with all the gear and an unusual way of carrying a sword, she turns back to the camera and looks at the horizon, over a suggested forest. On the right side, a goblin in the foreground walks through a crowd of a village with a large creature on a leash that looks like an armored cartoon bear.

Colored pencil sketch playing with color on toned paper! This medium requires a lot of patience and tons of layers of colors. Was a challenge to make the colors pop with the toned grey paper, I was going for a luminous look!

#art #ColoredPencil #sketch #DetoxDoodles #sketchbook

Colored pencil drawing of a redheaded woman looking at the viewer and facing to the left. She has a vibrant red bob and is wearing a dark green collared shirt. The date 9/7/25 is written on the left of the drawing.

Hoje é #Rabisquarta de auto retrato, mas como vocês não tem as credenciais necessárias para ver minha cara mesmo em desenho, ai vai a minha sona que é a coisa mais próxima.

Características como orelhas e rabo de gato possívelment fiéis a realidade(ou não).

Just unveiled a new black sketchbook and have begun an experimental artistic journey. Excited to see where this takes me! 🖤🎨 #AliceInWonderland #sketchbook

The first page, a rabbit depicted in contrasted shadows looking at the camera. Title: Follow the White Rabbit.

Second page: Alice, backview, running after the white rabbit.

Third double page, Alice falling in the rabbit hole (with symbolism of wormholes in wireframe and melted clocks)

Fourth double page, Alice in the hall after she grew too much and started to cry. The glass table with the potion "drink me" and the cake "eat me" (and the key) floats. A tiny door is visible also.

Some of the best drawings I did in the last months. This was presented at the end-of-semester exhibition of my school. It was my first exhibition; a little overwhelming & not everything went as planned, but now it's done and I'm happy :)

#Sketch #SketchBook #MastoArt #Draw #Drawing #Pencil #PencilArt #PencilDrawing #Landscape #LandscapeDrawing #Berlin #StillLife #PeopleDrawing #FigureDrawing #LiveDrawing #UrbanSketching #KleineKunstklasse #DailySketch

A lot of pencil drawings and one fineliner drawing arranged on a board. Still life drawings, drawings of people, landscapes and urban sketching.

The Matchbox Kingdom

#Sketchbook #BallpointPen #traditionalart

A photo detailed ballpoint pen drawing in a sketchbook depicting a sleeping fairy on a matchbox, surrounded by an assembled army of mice. The fairy lies peacefully under a blanket with her wings visible, her discarded clothes on the floor beside the matchbox. A cherry sits nearby, remnants of her dinner. Around her, an intricate mouse civilization has gathered: a shaman mouse observes her intently, soldier mice display varied reactions of fear and uncertainty, a female priest mouse stands with her servants gesturing to others as if announcing a prophecy. Additional details include a soldier mouse with a lizard familiar wearing a belt and carrying gears, and another mouse mounted atop a small passerine bird. The composition is densely detailed with numerous characters and interactions filling the space around the central sleeping figure, all rendered in black ballpoint pen with no preliminary sketch.

Graphite on dot paper. It was, you guessed it, another boring work meeting. An artist friend of mine had mentioned at one point that drawing parallel lines can be very meditative, so I gave it a try. I have mixed feelings about the eye.

@Curator
@visualarts #pencilDrawing #sketch #sketchbook #artist #commissionsOpen

Closeup detail of the art in question. Many straight lines drawn in fine, soft pencil. Alleyways of white dot paper between clusters of parallel lines. The corner of a large eye with more of a swirling shape on the bottom right.

Some loose Ghibli studies with acrylic markers (and a hint of coloured pencil) in my wonderful custom sketchbook by @syystuuli ~ 🌿

Can you guess the movies? 🙃

#traditionalart #AcrylicMarkers #ghibli #sketchbook #fediverse #pixelfed

A photo of a black paper sketchbook placed on a wooden table, surrounded by swatches, acrylic markers, and leaves for decoration. On the left page you can see some foliage and a simple tree, and underneath a meadow in green/brown tones under a bright blue sky with a tree line in between. On the top half of the right page you can see an evening sky, part blue part orange, and a winding path in drab teal tones. The silhouette of a pine tree is visible on the right side. On the bottom half of the right page you can see a nighttime sky and some grass through the black shapes of tree trunks, foliage, and shrubs. Colour swatches are painted next to each scenery.

Here is another sketch you will not like, and I am sorry. I am not sure what drives me to make them. #sketchbook

Decided to make my art focus on useful plants for a while, brushing up on several skills to see if I can pull together something both useful and pretty. Need to brush up on my fonts, but not until I finish sketching the pollinator garden.
#art #sketchbook #nature #foraging

Sketch of a salsify plant, flower, and seed and a sketch of a maple seedling, alongside text that reads, "Been living off the land a little more this week, gathered a table with several samples to sketch while I listen to nature sounds from the Ozarks. Found and positively identified salsify, one of those veggies we loved back in ye olde days of yore. Collected a sample to take home and sketch, then I cut the greenery off and planted the root before the rains begin. I also gathered seed, planted some, and will save the rest. Might try indoors soon. Bolted stalks were easy to spot above the grass, was glad I went when I did, it was next to a field that was recently mowed, their field was probably next. Found a bunch of maple seedlings, washed them with vinegar and gave to the birds, weaving between the bars of the cage. Made me realize I could grow maple and elm indoors for the birds. Seedlings gently pulled up are doing okay in water, also planted samara.

Sketch of an ash branch, noting it's a safe wood for pets, but not as tasty as elm samara. (Elm samara are round, ash is long) Samara means winged seed. Notes that I'm practicing my landscape in a trailer park, doodle of one of our streets with a kid's bike laying down, a focus on sketching trees at various distances.

Best part of this project is going through my old photos for inspiration, and finding it in abundance.

Another sketchbook page with corvids! Tried out the Sailor fude 45 fountain pen, super fun!

#art #corvid #raven #crow #FountainPen #sketchbook #sciart

Sketchbook page with the text Noodler Red Black / Sailor Fude 45 degrees at the top. Below and to the left is the date 5/16/2024. There are three drawings of crow heads, with two taking up most of the page. The two main crow heads are looking to the left and the right, and seem to be connected. There is text and an arrow pointing to the heads, saying whoops, 2 headed crow? The crow on the right has its mouth open. There is one more smaller crow drawing on the bottom right. The left side has text saying, good in between smoothness of nib between Jinhao and 55 degree Sailor.

My latest drawing video is an example of how I draw live, on location. Here I used it for a still life of two apples lit by daylight.

Let me know if you like it by giving the video a 👍🏼 and commenting. TIA.

Bonus commentary in the subtitles.

What I saw VS What I painted

#MastoArt #TraditionalArt #Gouache #SketchBook #Forest #FantasyArt #Mosstodon #Nature

A photo of a tilted, hollow tree in an open, sunlit forest, its mossy base creating deep shadows.

A photo of an open sketchbook, placed on a wooden desk and surrounded by branches, hag stones, moss, and a paint brush. The sketchbook page features a reimagining of the tree from the photo. It is now placed in a gloomy, misty forest, mossy rocks rising behind it. Glowing eyes are visible in the deep shadows inside the tree.

Starting with a doodle that is becoming too complex too quick using a medium you hate 30 minutes before bedtime is definitely a 9000 IQ move #sketchbook

Daily doodle 156. Barely had time to sit down this weekend, but I did get to look at this dead tree for a while.

#dailydoodle #dailydrawing #sketchbook #pencilsketch #MastoArt #lichensubscribe

Sketchbook drawing of a dead tree, possibly a spruce, leaning on another tree. Its branches are dry, broken or some sawed off, its bark covered in frilly lichen, and usnea (beard lichen) hanging from some branches.

After a long 6 month period of being too busy to sketch, I picked up sketching with fountain pens again!

#cat #art #drawing #sketchbook #InkArt #catart #caturday

Sketchbook page with two cats drawn with a Sailor Fude 45 with Colorverse Andromeda ink. The left cat has his paws together and is looking sheepishly to the right. The right cat is very fluffy and grumpy, and looks like he just woke up. At the bottom is handwritten text "Sailor Fude 45 w/ Colorverse Andromeda" and "4/17/25."
