What’s Your Favorite Color? Mine Is Either Green Or Red Or Purple... I Can Never Decide. This Turquoise-y

I painted this family portrait a month ago. Let’s be honest— we only care about close ups of the doggos 👉👉 Baldur the Mastiff and Valkyrie the German Shepherd. 💜 Oh, and their parents. .

This week I am teaching grade school students to make flip books. Always a fun project! We’re starting with the bouncing ball... animation 101. Quite a few of the older students knew what onion skins were from using animation apps on their phones, but had never used the same technique using paper. ✨🤜🤛✨ #artteachersofinstagram #artteacher #artteacherlife #bouncingballanimation #flipbook #flipbooks (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLFSVH8sGkU/?igshid=mg9yoq0pskmp

You guys, let’s start hanging out next week! 💜 Every Monday and Wednesday we can chill to some lofi (👈 see how hip I sound?!) and make some mini comics, zines, marker sketches, and digital illustrations together. Let’s make art! Or you can just hangout while I do all the work... I’m cool with that. Keep me company. 💜 Live Art Streams on YouTube and Twitch as well as “watch later” options. I hope you will join me for some art and chill. 😘 🥳 BONUS BIRTHDAY STREAM JULY 3! 🎂 . #artchannel #livestreams #liveart #artstream #twitchstream #youtubelive #youtubestream #youtubeartist #youtubeart #markerdrawing #markerart #digitalart #digitalartwork #digitalarts #sketching #sketchbookart #draweverydamnday #chillvibe #liveart https://www.instagram.com/p/CQZ1pHtMybP/?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

#MarchMeetTheMaker ✨ FROM THE ARCHIVES 💜 Looking back through my archives I see a few digital paintings that I want to redraw. Not because they are bad, but because the learning curve for digital art is kind of steep. 💜 This particular piece would be muh better in color like this. Right now it is actually black and white. I would also add a few more feature lines around the nose. But otherwise, I still like this one very much. 💜 #ursaink @joannehawker #meetthemaker2021 #meettheartist #meettheartist2021 #fromthearchives #fromthearchive #sarahcuthillartist #marchmeetthemakerarchive #marchmakerchallenge (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMfVlx5M_j2/?igshid=1pih4zqzc1cld
