Thanks! I need to do a "cleaner" version. I really struggle with trying to "stylize" my drawings - I naturally want to render everything realistically 💀✒️

Playing around with drawing in an old wood-cut style. It is really difficult for me to simplify my illustrations - I really have to fight the urge to add tiny details! Drawn with a Kaweco Sport fountain pen w/ a 1.1 mm nib. #PenAndInk #Sketch #FountainPen

Inking is always relaxing for me. I tend to pencil rather loosely, so this is the stage where the drawing "comes alive" Using Rotring Art fountain pens on Bristol. I use a lightbox to trace over my sketch - that way I don't have to worry about erasing. #PenAndInk #Drawing #FountainPen #SciArt

He's doing fine on his own ruining everything he's done since "Big Fish"

Sea Pigs sketches. Scotoplanes are a type of sea cucumber that use a ring of feeding tentacles to sift through sediment for decaying organic matter on the sea floor and have tube-like feet for locomotion. Drawn with Rotring Art pens with Platinum Carbon and Sepia ink. #SciArt #Sketch #FountainPen

Here's a drawing of a young woman with her pufferfish from about two years ago. I love the puffer, but wasn't too happy with how the linework in her dress turned out. Drawn with Platinum Carbon and Sepia inks in Rotring Art pens.

I will gladly watch that!

For me, it has some good parts and some eyeroll parts. Speaking of which, the eye alien took me out of it. There was no anatomical way for the pupils to move around like that. 😝

Isn't it neat how nature will repeat forms?
