An ink study of a soldier beetle.

Bug 9 of 10+3 for #drawabox lesson 4. I've enjoyed these. I think now that I've graduated the lesson I might revisit some bugs and plants in different media.

A study in ink of a wasp.

Another day, another bug. 8 of 10+3 for #drawabox lesson 4.

Here's the August square of that two-year-old KAL I'm slowly working at. 🧶 #knitting #knitsky

A clear plastic bag containing partial skeins of yarn in baby pink, lavender, mint, and white.

So, I have a whole bunch of baby blanket yarn left over and no babies on the horizon. I'm thinking virus shawl? (Yes, I have way too many projects in my queue) 🧶 #crochet #crochetsky

Not yet. I've only been knitting for about a year, so every project is teaching me something new. I'll have to look into that method.

A sock, being knit top-down, on knitting needles.

First time #sockknitting update: a couple centimeters to go until I hit the heel. Having issues with laddering between needles. Tips welcome. #knitting 🧶

A skein of pink, purple, and orange ombre yarn. The end is connected to the cuff of a sock on three double-ended needles. Beside it is a lilac-coloured retractable measuring tape and an empty coffee mug. A printed knitting pattern lies underneath.

The Easter Bunny kindly left me this festive-coloured sock yarn, needles, and a pattern. I'm diving in headfirst for my first sock and I haven't made anything more complicated than a cowl before. Wish me luck. 🧶 #knitting #knitsky #sockknitting (brb need more coffee)

Next up is my favorite work from #drawabox lesson 3. #art #sketch #ink

Texture study sausage slices done in felt-tipped pen.

Another #drawabox dissection. Texture has always been a weak point and this was fun. I should start chipping away at the texture challenge. #art #sketch #ink

A texture study done in ink featuring various textures in and around slices of "sausage". Individual textures are labelled within the image.

Next up is the #drawabox dissections exercise. This one was fun, but if I do it again I'll pay more attention to where the two textures meet. #art #sketch #ink

A texture study of snake scales done in ink. Dark on the left to light on the right.

Another #drawabox texture study. Snakeskin this time. #art #sketch #ink

Texture study of a stone cliff done in ink. Darkest on the left and lightest on the right.

An Amigurumi Baby Shark sitting on a grey couch.

Finally finished the plushies for the kiddies for Easter. I feel sorry for Blue Triceratops, so He's probably going to get a quick vest later . #crochet #amigurumi 🧶

Happy Tolkien Reading Day!

A texture study done in black ink, depicting crumpled paper done in a gradient from darkest on the left to lightest on the right.

Next lesson in How to Draw is gestures, so instead here's a texture study for #drawabox #art #sketch #ink

That yarn is gorgeous 😍
