Currently working on a variant story of Red Riding Hood. Which is a project that I probably should have done years ago. Oh well. Better now than never. I did try to have a go at it earlier this year but the direction that I was going in became bitter to me and made it impossible for me to want to work on it. This time through, I'm rewriting the story and using animals. Red will be a bunny named Penelope. Here's a rough design that I made of her. #illustration #redridinghood #characterdesign #wip #storytelling #roughsketch https://www.instagram.com/p/CEiVm_YjAk3/?igshid=4xcg26pst4z7

Prompt four: #snake Yoda on Dagobah lifting up rocks and a snake. I decided to experiment with some ink wash on this bristol paper. There are some characteristics that I like and appreciate that the paper gave to the ink wash. Mostly in the subtle textures that it brought out. #inktober52 #starwarsfanart #starwars #yoda #degobah #ink #inkillustration #inkwash https://www.instagram.com/p/CDywDdVjUv0/?igshid=12lw5xykg23yt

Prompt three: #brick for #inktober52 I decided to do a lego theme for this one and go with Yoda. #starwars #starwarsfanart #lego #legostarwars #yoda #inkdrawing #ink https://www.instagram.com/p/CDos96ZjDac/?igshid=o8h84q5hl4ny

Here's prompt 2: #Shadow I'm doing all the #inktober52 prompts with a star wars theme. So for this one I considered The Emperor to be the shadow over the Skywalker family. And we have bitter Luke, regretful Anakin, and displeased Ben. #starwarsfanart #starwars #palpatine #darthsidious #emperorpalpatine #lukeskywalker #anakinskywalker #bensolo #darthvader #kyloren #inkdrawing #illustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CDl2q0wDy_E/?igshid=1gzncfqcln381

Had some fun today experimenting with abstract expressionism after finishing some other illustrated acrylic works. I wanted to use up the acrylics that I mixed before they dried in their containers. Which was a nice challenge with a limited color palette. Feel free to share with me what you see or experience. Also if anyone would like to buys these, please email me. / / / #artofinstagram #abstractexpressionism #art #acrylicpainting #paintings #liquitex #goldenpaints https://www.instagram.com/p/CC170gAj8Zp/?igshid=1axvpe4uc0vam
