Sketch for a painting in the works.

A finely detailed black ink drawing depicts a tall, narrow dragon standing upright beside a small human figure. The dragon’s body is elongated to an exaggerated degree, with a remarkably long neck rising vertically before angling into a large, expressive head. Two curved horns extend backward from its skull, and small bat-like wings rest folded along its upper back. Short spines run down the length of its neck and spine, tapering toward a curled tail that coils lightly near the ground. The dragon’s face is rendered with careful crosshatching, giving texture to its scales and a slightly wrinkled, contemplative expression. One visible eye peers sideways with mild skepticism or bemusement. Its mouth is partially open, revealing uneven teeth and a prominent lower jaw. The long neck creates a striking vertical line that dominates the composition. Beside the dragon stands a small human figure in a jacket and trousers, hands tucked into pockets, leaning back slightly as if studying the creature’s immense height. The scale difference emphasizes the dragon’s improbable proportions. The background is left blank, allowing the fine pen work and crosshatched shading to define depth and form. The overall mood is whimsical and character-driven, blending mythic presence with understated humor.

A sepia-toned concept sketch depicts a towering orc warrior rendered in rough, expressive pencil lines against a lightly textured parchment background. The figure dominates the frame from the waist up, broad-shouldered and powerfully built, with heavily defined musculature across the chest, arms, and abdomen. His skin is shaded in muted olive tones, with crosshatching and layered strokes emphasizing volume and weight. His face is stern and battle-worn, featuring a heavy brow ridge, pointed ears, and prominent tusks curving upward from the lower jaw. A ring pierces his nose, and thick cords or braids frame his head, falling over his shoulders. Around his neck hangs a rugged necklace strung with large, tooth-like pendants that rest against his chest. One massive hand grips a skull at waist level, its hollow eye sockets and cracked surface sketched in quick, jagged strokes. The other arm hangs slightly forward, wrapped in rough bracers or leather bindings. His lower torso is partially covered by layered hide or fur garments, loosely indicated with sweeping, gestural lines that trail into unfinished strokes. The background remains minimal, filled with faint construction marks, smudges, and scattered notes that suggest an artist’s working draft. The composition feels raw and immediate, capturing the imposing presence of the character while preserving the spontaneity of the sketch process.

Rough a ketch of a male merfolk character hold a trident in his left hand, body is shown in a 3/4 pose while the head is in profile and has an aggressive expression , over a roughly drawn red rectangle

Today’s sketchbook fugitive. Ballpoint pen and Sharpie Creative Marker.

Can’t decide if I want to work more with fantasy subjects or abstraction. At least with abstracts I’m not drawing the same things over and over again!

A hand-drawn, sketch-like illustration depicts a small, impish figure standing in dry grass against a textured, off-white paper background. The character has exaggerated, pointed ears and sharp, mischievous eyes set beneath dark, unruly hair that sticks out in jagged tufts. A tall, conical hat sits slightly askew on the head, adding to the figure’s off-balance, playful menace. The face is narrow and expressive, with a crooked smile that suggests clever intent rather than innocence. The figure wears layered, loose-fitting clothing in muted earth tones: a long, worn coat draped over a simple tunic, tied with a sash that falls unevenly down the front. In one hand, the character holds a small lantern or glass vessel filled with blue liquid, suspended by a thin handle. The vessel catches the eye immediately, its cool color contrasting with the warm browns and tans of the surroundings. In the other hand, the figure grips a short staff or tool, roughly sketched and slightly crooked, reinforcing the handmade, storybook quality of the scene. The ground beneath the character is suggested with loose lines and splashes of ink, implying rocks and dry grass rather than fully defining them. Behind and slightly to the side, a faint secondary figure or shadowed form appears, sketched lightly and partially erased, as if existing between imagination and memory. The overall atmosphere feels like a page torn from a forgotten folktale, intimate, restless, and quietly charged with intent.

Ballpoint sketch of an female elf rider on a two legged fantasy dinosaur, the dinosaur has a feather crest and large eye on the top of its head, and a long neck. It has a saddle for its rider, who shades her eyes as she looks in the distance. The background is two tones, light blue for the sky and yellow for the ground, the rest of the image is uncoloured.

Coffee time sketch. My wife reads her social media feed and I doodle.

If I were serious about this, I should probably make character silhouettes, creature concepts, etc, but I’m just here to sip coffee and keep myself amused.

Image of a pen and ink sketch of a male and female satyr-like characters, the male is holding a human skull.

Everyone I know thinks I’m crazy for getting up early to work on this stuff, but then they work miserable jobs so they can earn enough to spend thousands on fancy homes, cars and vacations. I’m amused with a few pens and some paper.

Who’s crazy, again?

One of these days I’ll break out of sketchbook mode, but when you’re cramming drawing sessions in whenever time allows, this can be challenging, and at least with a sketchbook I easily keep my drawings together.

Continuing with a theme I started on Friday.

Image of a sketchbook page with five sketches of fantasy monsters rendered in ink and marker.

Late night sketching kept me out of trouble for a couple of hours, indulging my inner six-year old.

I might not sleep so well after some of these crawled onto my page… lol
