A marker and ink cartoon of a woman on a plane in business class, with shoulder length hair and unfortunate bangs, wearing a stretchy top/light sweater, and leggings, sitting with one leg curled up, her feet in those little sock slippers they give you at the start of the flight, her right arm is raised to get the flight attendant’s attention, her left arm is resting on the armrest, with the window on that side. There are six snails around her; on the right side of the drawing, two snails are sitting on her left arm, staring out of the window at the clouds and sky, making “ooh!” Faces with their mouths puckered. On top of her seat, a snail is moving towards the aisle. On the left, on her lunch tray, there are three snails: one is on her plate, one is in her salad bowl, eating her salad (that’s not a euphemism), both of them looking at her, and the third is in her wineglass, trying to get out, but too drunk to do so. The woman has a speech bubble, saying: “Um… I ordered the chicken?”. 
Colours: mostly simple line drawing, with the seat in blue-greys, and the snails in brown-grey, with shading.

A marker, ink, and paint pen (with digital speech bubbles) cartoon of two brown garden snails with their bodies pushed together, brown shells facing each other in profile, like bookends. They both have their eyestalks extended over their backs (the one on the left looking left, the one on the right looking right, with their shells pointed in the opposite direction), and they look very nervous. 
The snail on the left has their tail curled up, and their pupils are pinpoints; they have their mouth closed, their speech bubble is just “*whimper*”. The snail on the right has large pupils, and is saying “uh-oh!”. 
The Snail Collector is an urban legend in the snail community! On a quiet night, you can hear the growling; a speech bobble from off right says “GRRRRRR!! *snarfle*”!

A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a snail reclining in a martini glass. Their eyes have green irises and black pupils, their eyestalks are pointing in different directions. The snail is lying in an inch of green-tinted clear liquid in the glass, with four pimento-stuffed olives, two underneath the snail, two on a toothpick. 
The snail has their mouth open, and is speaking with a smile. Text is black on white above the glass and background. Imagine the snail speaking in a very silly French accent that gets more American towards the end:
“Chéri, I buy you a drink? Moi, a GARNISH?! NON!! I’m from the French restaurant next door! Yeah, I work there… hey, bartender, I’m getting dry here! Merci!”.
The glass is on an off-white/cream coloured tablecloth, the background is dark purple-grey. Text next to the stem of the martini glass says “POTTED SNAIL”.

A marker, ink, and paint pen cartoon of four sleeping snails, and one snail on the right holding a bell rope clenched between his teeth, a rope that is attached to a large bell hanging over the sleeping snails.
The snail with the rope is Phil. Phil is thinking “REVENGE!!”.
The snails are asleep on cushions, the closest one has a purple sleep mask, and is holding a plush snail curled up in their tail. There is a folded paper sign by their head that says “do not disturb until 11am.”. In the background, the sun is rising.
Top left, a gold outlined sign says “The Mysterious Mystery Of The Very Loud Bell That Woke Everyone Up, heh, heh, heh: a Novel by Phil the Snail”.
Bottom right, an inset drawing of Phil’s eyes glaring says “Phil never forgives.”
Phil thought long and hard about the revenge he would wreak on the snails who had mocked him when he had a blind date, drank too much wine, and got a hangover. Unfortunately, he thought about it so long, all the other snails had completely forgotten about the whole thing.
Phil doesn’t care.
(How is that bell loop hanging up there? Who knows the ways of snails.)

I’m not gatekeeping art. AI is stolen art, turned into slop, and you’re not an artist. Pick up a pen; start creating!

This outline of a potted houseplant picture came in a kit with some watercolor paint, but I went off the rails and used acrylic pens and watercolor pencils too.

#sketchaday2025 I was using these BETEM acrylic markers to prove to myself I am allowed to buy some nicer (I hope) Sharpie Creative markers (they came today but I am at work right now 🤫) but really these economical markers work quite well! I bought a set for some kids to use too.
