Been a long time since I did a pencil sketch. Forgot how good it feels to build up values with shading. ✏️ 🐻 _ #bear #pencil #ferns #watercolour #botany #shirt #nature #beardrawing #hawaii #Hawaiianshirt #drawing #illustration #childrensillustration #illustratorsoninstagram #animals https://www.instagram.com/p/B-MyCEkHIG0/?igshid=1e4lq527hhtlo

Morning fern watercolour practice. I’m a big fan of this ancient species of plants - partly because you see them in about every dinosaur illustration. 🦖 _ #nature #jungle #forest #ferns #plants #watercolor #illustrations #doodle #illustratoroninstagram #artistoninstagram #whimsical https://www.instagram.com/p/B9_k8HZn2eH/?igshid=1ms5znaw8yrlo

A medley of watercolour mushrooms. I tried some hot pressed paper for these shrooms. _ #mushrooms #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolour #nature #artistsoninstagram #folklore #whimsical https://www.instagram.com/p/B98uGBqnLT7/?igshid=55mlpohft7ch

My bear ended up looking more like a tapir but none the less, a good watercolour training exercise. _ #bear #blackbear #nature #illustration #artistsoninstagram #watercolour #folklore #sunday https://www.instagram.com/p/B859AZfnp40/?igshid=p14kq9g7btdd

Here’s a comic about the tragedy of birding. Loving my brush pen. A meditative experience using it on smooth paper. _ #twitcher #brushpen #penandink #comic #nature #birds #birding #illustration #blackandwhite #outdoors #doodle https://www.instagram.com/p/B7aq0NjHX_-/?igshid=1n3lp1c8lmy6t

2nd doodle of 2020. A wee tree hugger. One thing I find tough with watercolour is that if you do a layer or two too much, the colours can go muddy quickly. Unforgiving medium. _ _ #watercolor #watercolorpainting #penandink #penandinkdrawing #brushpen #watercolourpainting https://www.instagram.com/p/B7N5MMfn9ly/?igshid=l8nx26vkiwwv
