Frog Song
This little guy is probably my favorite thing that I’ve drawn in the past few weeks. Maybe because it’s inspired by weird, antique anthropomorphic animals in advertisements, which I find really charming. Even though it’s
Strawberry Flowers
I started today’s sketchbook page by taping off a sheet, and filling the background area with a gradient made with leftover paint. It was a mix of purple-y reds, a little dull medium green, and
Cheerful Teapot
