A Place to Fly

Haven't been feeling very inspired lately. I almost have to force myself to draw and I end up not being happy with the results. But I'm happy with how this one turned out. I find a sort of comfort in black and white art. #hybridanimal #birdlady #halfwomanhalfbird #blackandwhiteillustration #monochromatic #illustration #illustratoroninstagram #floralillustration #indiaink #contrast #randomart

Triceratops have always been my favourite! 😍 #dinosaurillustration #dinosaurterrarium #dinosaurart #dinosaur #triceratops #triceratopsillustration #terrariums #terrariumart #terrariumillustration #penandink #watercolourwash #watercolourillustration #linework #graphitepencil #floralillustration

Quick doodle in between college applications. 🙈 I really need to get into the habit of trying to draw at least once a day #doodle #doodleart #sketchbookart #newsketchbook #sketchbook #quicksketch #portrait #girl #sideprofile #illustration #illustratorsoninstagram #fish #fishillustration #sealife #colourpencil #shadingpencils #pen

I usually draw sea creatures when I'm stuck creatively. I find it very calming. It started out as an octopus, but I drew nine tentacles by mistake 🙈 #seacreatureillustration #underthesea #animalillustration #octopusillustration #coral #seaweed #coralillustration #seaweedillustration #penandink #linework #detailing #blackandwhiteillustration #hatching #crosshatching #tentacles

First post of 2018! I've been falling way behind on posting stuff, but I'm hoping to change that soon. Airavata was a white elephant from Indian mythology who was said to have four tusks, seven trunks and was the mount of Indra. He's another addition to my mythological animal series. #mythicalcreature #mythicalbeast #mythicalanimal #indianmythology #mythologicalillustration #animalillustration #whiteelephant #elephantillustration #floralillustration #illustration #illustratorsoninstagram #graphitepencil #cretacolormonolith #cretacolor #indiaink #poscamarkers

Day 6: Gill Man from the Black Lagoon Another creature I wasn't familiar with until this challenge. Loved working with charcoal pencils again.

Day 5: Marowak as the grim reaper Forgot to post this yesterday. Again, it was another drawlloween challenge but I sort of changed it a little.

Day 4: Mothman Did this for mab graves drawlloween. Was super fun since I wasn't really familiar with this particular creature before.

Inktober Day 3: Gobbo and Sly from Noddy. Creepy goblins that scared me a lot as a kid

Inktober Day 2: Werewolf This year I'm taking part in mab graves drawlloween so there's going to be some overlap.

Inktober Day 1: Beetlejuice Easily one of my favourite Tim Burton movies from the characters to the soundtrack.

Trying out some new markers. I absolutely love them! Also it's been a while since I posted.

Trying out new charcoal pencils. I’ve forgotten what it’s like to use the medium and how much I loved it in school.

A couple of illustrations I did a few years back. The Disney villainesses when they were just a bit younger. I've always found that the villains make for more interesting characters than the heroes. ~ Ursula & Maleficent

It's been a while since I used my watercolours. Felt good spending a Sunday to exercise the muscle.

Inspired by an animal I saw recently- a cross between a cow and a yak. I started sketching the animal and it suddenly became a demon. Almost an animal spirit haunting the hills where we camped.
