Its Been A While Since I Used My Dip Pen, Im Always Afraid Ill Forget How To Use It! Im Happy With How

It’s been a while since I used my dip pen, I’m always afraid I’ll forget how to use it! I’m happy with how this turned out though. This is the Shaggy Ink-Cap, an edible mushroom native the UK (pick the baby ones if you want to eat them though). They sometimes dye your food black, and you can make ink out of them if you want to. We used to have a patch of these in our driveway but there were never enough to eat, which is a shame because they’re delicious.

I have a new postcard set available in my shop! I’ve been drawing Tabitha for the last day of Inktober every year for the last 5 years, and finally have enough for a set, so I got them printed! I think they look really cute together. The postcards are glossy on the front and matte on the back, so you can use them as little prints or as actual postcards. I hope you all think Tabitha is cute as well!

Inktober 2018 : Day 5 - cartridge pen

Lena’s prophetic trances are involuntary, and come on without warning. Her friends have seen it before, but it doesn’t stop being frightening.

Inktober 2018 : Day 6 - Pentel Pocket Brush Sorry these are all so late! I promise I am drawing them on the day, I’m just really busy and don’t have access to my scanner every day. Last year I was inspired by Heikala’s amazing inking videos to get better with my brush pen, I think I’m making progress! It’s getting blustery where Louise lives, now that Autumn is here.

In years when he grows catkins under his ear frills, Sweetpea can sometimes end up with acorns there too! They get pretty uncomfortable at full size, but he’s too proud of them to care. He’ll spend the whole of Autumn showing them off to anyone who will look and admiring them in puddles, then plant them out with great care.

I think I’ve mentioned before that I’m fairly often guilty of designing characters with important colour schemes and then always drawing them in black and white, so here are some colour pictures of the Vrega. There are a lot of minor differences between them and the humans, but the only obvious one is that they’re greyish-purple in colour. (I suppose if you stood a load of humans and vrega together it would also be obvious that the vrega are bigger, but Violet is the only human on the ship.) Violet is too tall in that first one, let’s pretend she’s standing on tip-toe.
