#MarchMeetTheMaker 🌙 On Your Desk 🐆”On your desk” is today’s prompt from @joannehawker . Since I use a tilted drawing desk, it makes it a little complicated to show you what I have on my desk. So this is what sits directly behind me. When I do my art classes with grade school students this is the background that they see. When I twirl around in my chair because I’m not entirely a grown-up, I get to look at my fun, golden leopard print wall. 🐆 I keep all of my markers, sketchbooks, unfinished paintings (we all have an abundance of those), My printer, button maker, and packaging supplies all around me on my shelves. And I also have my troll (masked up 😂🤦‍♀️) sitting beside me. 🐆 Today’s Prompt also inspired me to make a mini video of what my typical day looks like. And you’ll get a little peek of all of my animals in my morning routine. 🖤 #ursaink #MarchMeetTheMaker2021 #MeetTheArtist #MeetTheArtist2021 #FemaleArtist #MeetTheMaker #artistsoninstagram #StudioSpace #animalprintlover #studiotour #artdesk (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMApxfUMZB2/?igshid=n6ewikgfr6vr

I was playing with color palettes and environments a while back and I still love these colors together. I want to work on world building with my scenes and landscapes because it’s something I struggle with. In fact, I was looking through my work since last summer and I noticed a huge self improvement during and after Inktober last year. So I want to come up with or find a list of environmental prompts to help me improve this area as well. I signed up for @cheneviv Class101 too (starts next week) and I’m excited to learn something new. 🖤 #ursaink #femaleartist #colorpalette #colorpalletes #sarahcuthillartist (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMXqajRs6a5/?igshid=19lxvxan39d7

🍵 Kumamoto Teahouse 🍡 This teahouse is a fictional place of course, but this is one of my favorite faux polaroids of Japan in my upcoming illustrated novel. When I was a teenager, we had exchange students that stayed with us from time to time. One girl was Kumamoto, Japan. She taught me how to write in traditional calligraphy. I was not very good. But my fondest memory of her is of the postcards of the Kumamoto area that she brought as a gift. Memories of her have made it into my book. . #traveljapan #indiebooks #indieauthor #indieauthorsofinstagram #supportindieauthors #kumamoto #kumamotocity #artistsoninstagram #painting🎨 #artistic #artoftheday🎨 #artpage #illustrationartist #digitalillustrations #digitalpaintings #digitalartwork #digitalarts #digitalarttutorial #digitalartist #californiaart #procreateartist #ipadart #californiaartist (at Kumamoto熊本) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRuFa-YMOU4/?utm_medium=tumblr
