Another commission! These were my favourite sharks when I was a kid, I just seem to be drawn to the slightly dorkier animals 😂 Drawing ink and acrylic pens on A5 Bristol board 💗

A little seahorse commission with drawing ink 🐟

Here he is finished! 🦌 I’ve deliberately gone heavier on this chap to play about with the limits of using ink in a glazing technique and finished with my acrylic pens in a more playful way.

Little Steve arrived safely in his new home today in time to be wrapped up for Christmas! 💗 His favourite colour is turquoise, he likes pak choi and his little lady owner’s favourite colour is purple. A few little splashes of pink and yellow requested too, the yellow worked into his underpainting and the pink as highlights on the leaves and his coat. Anyone else have some more hamsters for me?! I’m quite falling for them! 💗🐹

🦒! I wanted to go a little heavier on this one and have some fun with the contrast and contours. He looks a little like he’s just watched his nan put some five spice in the lasagne 😂

“Eeeee-owww” as Robin’s been shrieking at this in delight 😂🐱
