Bonus points to anyone who can figure out what this month’s Mythic Mail creature is! I always include a little handmade extra for all of the monthly subscribers of Mythic Mail. I am also trying a different kind of paper, so when you get yours this month, please let me know how it arrives and what you think about the new paper. I am always trying to improve what I send you. . 💜 #mythicmail #monthlysubscription #subscriptionboxes #snailmail #snailmaillove #mythicalcreatures #artistsoninstagram #painting🎨 #artistic #artoftheday🎨 #artpage #illustrationartist #digitalillustrations #digitalpaintings #digitalartwork #digitalarts #digitalarttutorial #digitalartist #californiaart #procreateartist #ipadart #californiaartist (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSNAtomlnvs/?utm_medium=tumblr

Is it spring yet where you live? I don’t mean by the calendar, but actual wildflowers and sunshine spring. . See how fancy I’m getting? I had to pose my sketchbook in my backyard like all the big art accounts. 😂😉 This is Komorebi watercolor and Arteza gouche in my 8x8” watercolor sketchbook. ✨ #ursaink #japanesewatercolor #watercolorandgouache #gouchepainting #ghiblistudy #kikisdeliveryservice #forestart #10kartist #artistcommunity #californiaartist (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNiFagtMK0T/?igshid=1al3ktrpec8bo

#MarchMeetTheMaker 💜 WORK IN PROGRESS 📚I always have 5 million “works in progress”, but my biggest project right now is my Mythic Mail book. Mythic Mail is a monthly snail mail adventure in letter form that i have an incredible amount of fun creating. 📚 I have loved creating it so much so that I wanted to take the adventure to Japan. Japan has such a rich monster culture. There are tons of creatures and tales to explore! It was hard to choose just a handful to explore. 📚 I have almost half of the main illustrations finished. Then I will move onto the writing and spot illustrations. Here I have my main sketches remaining and if you scroll, my book cover mockup. 📚 I am hoping to publish and release my Mythic Mail book sometime in late summer 2021. My Patrons in my Behind the Scenes Club are seeing all the illustration progressions and creature lists. 💜 . #ursaink @joannehawker #marchmeetthemaker #marchmeetthemaker2021 #meettheartist #meetthemaker #workinprogress #workinprogressart #meettheartist2021 #artaccount #indiebook #indiebooks (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMKvud2sXRJ/?igshid=y00cvmdyhqbi

Sailor Neptune in my style for the @the.meggie.johnson #DrawThisInYourStyle . I grew up in the late 80’s/early 90’s and remember watching Sailor Moon on tv mornings before walking to school. Fighting evil by moonlight is still my jam! I even have a Sailor Moon wallet and phone case because they are so cute. Can’t wait to see what other artists come up with for this drawing challenge! ✨🌙✨ #ursaink #meggieredraw #dtiys #meggiedtiys #sailormoon #sailorneptune #sailorneptunefanart #artoninstagram #sailormoonredraw #sailorneptuneredraw #sailorscouts #sailormoonfanart #fantasyart #fantasyartist #sailormoonart #neptune #sailorneptunecosplay #sailorneptuneaesthetic https://www.instagram.com/p/CMaclCdMghc/?igshid=1skauut2kw1wh

Monster Cat! Scroll to see more 👉 It took quite a bit of practice to make sumi ink paintings I was happy with. Now I need to find some nice paper to mount them on... On a side note, my daughter and I spent nearly an hour on Google translate trying to figure out what type of hair each of my Chinese ink brushes is made of. 💜 #yokai #yokaiart #sumiink #sumiepainting #inkpainting #monstercat #catofinstagram #japanesebrushpainting #inkbrush #painting #artistic #artworkpromotion #artistoninstagram #artoftheday #artfeature #artpage #100daysofart (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTIFgjylB3w/?utm_medium=tumblr

💚 Do you like bright colors, dark colors, or earth tones? I love bright colors like this, but I tend to wear dark colors. 💖 #markersketch #markerartist #markerdrawing #copicmarkers #markerpen #ohuhumarkers #womanartist #sketchbookartist #markerdrawing #pensketch #pensketches #markerpainting #sketchbooktour #sketchmarker #markerillustration #illustrationartwork #illustrationsketch #sketchbook #ilovesketchmarker #illustrationdrawing #portrait #markerportrait #drawdaily2021 #draweveryday (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQrKyEHs0CT/?utm_medium=tumblr

It’s officially official. At 34, I am returning to college to earn my Associate of Arts in Illustration. This is a huge step for me and I’m a little nervous, but I’m also determined to open new opportunities for myself and this is how I’m going to do it. 💜💜💜 #aauillustration #ursaink #academyofart #academyofartuniversity #femaleillustrator #womenillustrators #goingbacktocollege #IFeelOld https://www.instagram.com/p/COOZb52sBgP/?igshid=1ka5oruwbe1ec
