WORK IN PROGRESS // I’m writing the kitsune and kappa stories today for my Mythic Mail Japan illustrated novel.

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

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

What is your favorite stone/gem? Rock junkies unite! Azurite brought to you by a fun collab art challenge with @dulce_somnium_art . I love azurite not only because of its deep color, but because it is ground up and used as a painting pigment. Plus, the hunk of azurite from my rock collection is so sparkly and raw. 💜Follow @ursa.ink for more! (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPTfCciMDk8/?utm_medium=tumblr

#MarchMeetTheMaker 💜 STYLE 🌙 I’ve never been much of a landscape artist or a very skilled cartoonist. I would say my love of drawing people and animals lands somewhere on the semi-realistic scale. I noticed that I don’t like to go that extra step into realistic or photorealistic art. I enjoy everyone else’s creativity with comic and cartoon art, but I tend to be hyper critical of my own efforts in that realm. 🌙 I can see the style difference in my art from others, but I can’t verbally pin point exactly what it is. I like to go for maybe more unnatural, saturated colors. I like bold sitting next to dark. And like so many artists, I LIVE FOR those bits of highlight and glow at the end of a piece. 🌙 This is a piece I am most proud of. It isn’t terribly popular in my shop, but that’s okay. The Archer has a perfect skin palette in my eyes. A little orange, a few hidden blue tones. 🌙 It is also important to me to use poses and develop characters that aren’t perfect “Instagram Girls”. I’ve always been the weird kid, so drawing imperfect people is a base desire for me. . #ursaink #marchmeetthemaker2021 #meetthemaker #meetthemakermarch #meettheartist #meettheartist2021 #femaleartist #womanownedbusiness #womanartist #weirdart #weirdoart #weirdosunite (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL7iVGYMnGt/?igshid=1t4ritzbdo3i8

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
