Loose paint sketch for my next Ghibli scenery study. I really love this particular scene from Kiki’s Delivery Service, but my version will not have Kiki hanging in the window. 💜💜💜 #ursaink #scenerystudy #artstudy #kikisdeliveryservice #ghibliart #watercolorpainting #goauchepainting #artistsoninstagram #artpractice https://www.instagram.com/p/CNnW48_MRLG/?igshid=1ory823fwhdn9
WORK IN PROGRESS// Last spot illustration in my new book, Mythic Mail Japan!!! 🎉 Like my great grandmother, also an artist, I have a great fascination with Ukiyo-e style art. I really admire traditional Japanese paintings. It appears simplistic, but in actuality, this style is very difficult to replicate—especially since my personal style is semi realistic. But I love it all the same and I’m excited to feature a few Ukiyo-e inspired illustrations in my book. . #mythicmail #ukiyoe #ukiyoeart #japanesestyle #daruma #darumadoll #artistsoninstagram #painting🎨 #artistic #artworkpromotion #artoftheday🎨 #artpage #illustrationartist #digitalillustrations #digitalpaintings #digitalartwork #digitalarts #digitalarttutorial #digitalartist #californiaart #procreateartist #ipadart #californiaartist (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQWf9IHMLVY/?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

✨ Tanuki Tuesday!!! 💜 This should be a thing. Real life tanuki, Japanese “raccoon dogs”, are adorable and their mythic counterparts are charmingly mischievous. It’s hard not to love these little characters. . Mythic Mail, Letters From Japan is being released September 1st!!! I’m so excited! 🥳🤩🤩🤩 . #indiebooks #indiebook #mythicmail #mythicalcreatures #yokai #yokaiwatch #yokaiart #japan #traveljapan #japantravel #japanesefolklore #japanesemonster #snailmaillove #indiebookstore #indieauthors #indieauthorsofinstagram #supportindieauthors #mythology #japanesemythology #japaneseculture #mythical #tanuki #tanukijapan #raccoondog (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTP2X0KpPjU/?utm_medium=tumblr
#MarchMeetTheMaker ✨SMALL DETAIL 🐻 For me, the small details in each piece are everything. I love the very end when I can add little highlights here and there, showing where the light is hitting objects around it. 🐻 I take my time on those subtle details that, very likely, I am the only one that notices. Like the tire tread being a dusty, textured grey like it has just rolled over gravel. 🐻 Without these small details a piece would never feel finished. . #ursaink @joannehawker #MarchMeetTheMaker2021 #MeetTheMaker #MeetTheMaker2021 #MeetTheArtist #MeTheArtist2021 #SmallDetails #ArtAccount #femaleartist #artjournal #digitalartwork (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMP5JZNsw6r/?igshid=wt5kho6mont5

Do you ever feel like you have 50 hamsters trying to run on the same wheel in your mind? (Do other languages have that same saying?) I am currently working on 4 big projects and it’s hard to ration out equal time to each AND feed the algorithms. I see my fellow artists nodding their heads. 😉 🐹 🐹 🐹 #ursaink #sketcheveryday #sketchbookartist #sketchingdaily #sketchbookpractice #ohuhu #ohuhubrushmarkers #practiceportrait #markerart #alcoholmarkers #markerdrawings (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKWmYElsdme/?igshid=15ck2v3dkg55b
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. .
