Warm up sketch. Kind of reminiscent of a Gibson girl? What do you think?

Working on pulling out some of the sun spots this morning before going to work. Stay tuned this week for in depth posts about each of the “characters”.

My drawing from last week’s ArtReach camp in Houston. The goal was to finish it over the course of the 4 day camp (didn’t quite happen). I’m calling it “The Wild Hunt”. Stay tuned for more progress photos and the picture of the final as I try and complete it in this coming week. #ArtReach #illustration #wildhunt #watercolor #painting #sarasilkwood #sarasilkwoodillustration #drawing #forest #elk #children

Ink and watercolor mushrooms.

Ok, not great, but but I kinda like the potential. I overworked the face and other pieces are underworked, I think, but it’s practice.
Based in a story idea I came up with a while ago.

What did artist do before the invention of copiers?

Still in progress. Portraying the lighting right is going to be key in this one.

Day 4 - Magic

Girl with a tattoo. Had an epiphany with the inking earlier an had to make sure it wasn’t a fluke.

Day 3 - Monk

Day 3’s word is “monk”. This time I’m going to draw with a brush only - I’m leaning toward doing it on grey paper this time, too.

There. Let’s call day 2 done.

Day 2 - Blind
“Hang on, we’re almost there,”

I’m not sure what to do with the background… I think I’m forcing it…oi.

Day 2 - “Blind”

Today’s prompt was “blind”. Did I finish? Nope. But here’s a glimpse of where it’s going.
Fear is a weird thing. And I will deal with it, figure it out and move forward, darn it!

We’re calling this a learning experience. Number 1 is “done”.

So many conflicting emotions about this first piece. It’s already missing the simplicity and ease that I admire so much in other artists ink work… Ah well, 29 more to go - I know I’ll discover more about the medium and progress over the next few weeks. Oi.

It’s starting.

Practice run.

This is as far as I got on yesterday’s piece before a migraine derailed everything. But we press onward! Now, should I just call today the start or try and do today’s prompt as well?
