Mythic Mail Letters From Japan Book Secrets: 👺Today’s Easter Egg (super Top Secret Hidden Gem) Is

WORK IN PROGRESS 🖤 I am my own best hand model. I have no idea where this one’s going (as with everything I draw), but it will likely be weird. I’m a little frustrated with having hands lately and it’s coming out in my work. I think some dead flowers might be in order… 🖤 #ursaink #DrawingHands #DrawingHandsHard #handmodel #artisanoutlet #WeirdArt #DarkArt #MacabreArt #MacabreArtwork #DarkArtwork #FantasyArtist #FantasyArt #CaliforniaArtist (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNAx5-DMGvt/?igshid=1b52p68yo56ni

I printed out an entire set of these postcards of my art drawing challenges, including Inktober, from last year. They are printed on really nice, satin, postcard cardstock and the colors turned out perfectly vibrant. It’s amazing to have the entire set of 31 to browse through. Let me know if I should print a set for you!

#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

What’s your favorite color? Mine is either green or red or purple... I can never decide. This turquoise-y teal is really pretty too. #ursaink #markersketch #sketchbookdrawing #sketchbookpage #sketchbooktour #ohuhumarkers #ohuhumarkerdrawing #tealaesthetic (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM3Y5WlsLJW/?igshid=17qwefs4zxp1f

What is the weirdest creature or myth you’ve heard of? The kappa is pretty high on my list of most bizarre. They love long walks on the shore, cucumbers, sumo, and raw offal right from the source… to put it nicely. 😂 . #kappa #japanesekappa #mythicmail #japaneseyokai #yokai #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/CSCrVK8J2CK/?utm_medium=tumblr

On top of the other 500 hats I wear, I’m also a certified archery instructor. I enjoy the idea that I’m a good enough shot without all the fancy scopes and compound gear to hunt during the zombie apocalypse. What is your zombie apocalypse survival skill?

#MarchMeetTheMaker 🎨 COLOR 🧡Color is so important!!! It’s not usually my first thought, however. I like to fly by the seat of my pants. Let the mood take me somewhere. But after the sketch stage, I like to lay down the base colors. 💜 For today’s prompt I wanted to show off my regular color palettes. Maybe you can see my love of rich colors. Those deep blues, plums, and dark moss colors give me the warm and tingly feelings. Pastels creep me out. 💙 #ursaink @joannehawker #MarchMeetTheMaker2021 #MeetTheMaker #MeetTheMaker2021 #MeetTheArtist #MeetTheArtist2021 #ColorPalettes #ColorPalette #ColorPaletteInspiration #ColorAesthetic #ArtAccount #ColorPrompt #colorfullife https://www.instagram.com/p/CMnpTbHsyY5/?igshid=e696fh8q0dqq

Mondays are essentially my Sunday. How was your weekend?
(Last night’s palette cleanser before I get back to my sea witch.)

Work in progress, but my coyote mural is coming along. He has his base colors in and now I get to work on fur. We’ll talk fungi in a couple days. (Both are indigenous to Calaveras county where I live.) ✨🍄🐺✨ #workinprogress #workinprocess #workinprogressart #artworkinprogress #coyotes #coyoteart #muralart #muralpaintings #muralpainting #fungiart #mushroomart #californiaartist #paintingoftheday #paintingprocess #paintingsdaily #artistoninstagram #artoftheday #artpage #muralartist #muralsofinstagram (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS4jjHaPpwH/?utm_medium=tumblr
