Caitlin Thompson, marker drawing, circa 2011

I had an Idea for a zine once that revolved around drawing of my lady friends who had glasses, with and without their glasses. Sort of about how when we cool at people’s faces with glasses, the glasses sort of dominate our vision and it’s hard to focus on their faces. I only drew this one picture and sorta lost interest.

But when I was scanning it, I thought of a really neat way to do this zine that makes sense. I could draw portraits of people with their glasses, while not wearing glasses myself…. and then draw them with out their glasses while wearing mine… and I would think this would capture that sorta glassed vagueness i talked about earlier. Maybe?

Well, hell!! I’ve been so enamored with the FPR Ultra Flex nib that I didn’t even pay attention to the FPR regular flex nib. @fountain_pen_revolution Yellow Demo Indus Fountain pen with an “regular” (anything but) flex nib. DeAtramentis Document Ink in Brown.

Been doing a bit of this recently, though in much less exciting outfits

Here’s a series of appetizers I recently finished for an upcoming gallery show of postcard-sized pieces called “Send Me Across the Sea” at the Book and Job Gallery February 25-26! Here we have Shrimp, Pigs in a Blanket, Chips, and Devilled Eggs

I’ve been doing little warm up drawings to try and get back into drawing every day!! Here are two werewolf-y fall drawings haha. If ur not carving jackolanterns with ur yoga pants on and ur titties out, are u even participating in festivities????

Inktober day 30 - The Inquisitor

Athanas Lavellan

Local Dalish hunter falls out of the Fade with a glowy hand and is distressed about it 24/7: The game.

So, that’s it. My first Inktober is over. It wasn’t easy at times and I often had to catch up on several days (first semester at uni got busy), but I’ve definitely learned a lot from it. I used to be afraid of inking actually, but now I find it really fun! All in all, this was a great experience. And I’d like to thank you for all the likes and support! <3

Inktober day 30 - Hawke

Deryn Hawke

Dragon Age 2 and with it, the Champion of Kirkwall. She’s got a bunch of reasons to look so tired. Aaand my gray markers are running out.

Inktober day 29 - Hero of Ferelden

Silas Mahariel

Last three prompts! Since they are about the player characters, I decided to make a tiny portrait for each of them and include their main ‘adversaries’ for each game. And a bunch of symbolism or whatever. First up is Silas Mahariel, my Grey Warden.

Inktober day 28 - Lyrium forges and wells of Arlathan

Untouched lyrium veins

Some environmental stuff after a while (plus lyrium is really nice to draw).

Inktober day 27 - Ritewine/Grey Whiskey/Conscription Ale

Grey Warden Bethany

This was Bethany’s fate in my first playthrough of Dragon Age 2. Also Grey Wardens supposedly “combine half-full bottles of alcohol to save space while travelling”. The results must be interesting. And probably good when one wants to forget (the bitter, blighty, breach-y) reality.

Inktober day 26 - Glass of Serault

The treasured craft

Another prompt focusing on The Last Court. Tried to add watercolour this time since it’s supposed to be stained glass.

another quick copic doodle
honestly these are pretty addicting to use

It’s time for Art vs Artist 2021 already?! Here are some of my favorite art that I made this year.

I’ve been working on adding some flourishes to my letters. This isn’t much yet, but it’s where I’m comfortable for now. (Sorry for the bad lighting.)
