The daughter of a neighborhood buddy showed me her drawing yesterday. I think she was home with a cold or something so she showed me through the window. The drawing reminded me of a fascination with the images generated by _fraqtive_ one of the Freedom Software applications for Mandelbrot fractal visualizations? One day I'll have to try and read about the math involved with fractals.. But in the meantime I'll send this photo post to the family annd see if they'll try fraqtive... or maybe even Inkscape which I used to bitmap trace a digital camera photo of the girl's paper. It's easy to forget to add a white background to the .png images exported from Inkscape. Yesterday I added a white background with Gimp, but this time I remembered to do it all inside Inkscape. I'm wondering if add backgrounds with Inkscape makes the image a lot bigger (memory-sized) than adding it with GIMP?/

ENTRANCED
I love to read and every once in a while, I find a book that I cannot put down, no matter what is happening around me. For those of you who have ever been lucky enough to encounter this transcendent state of being, this drawing is for you! 😀 Imagine curled up in your favorite comfy chair, with a hot cup of tea and plate of delicious cookies nearby. All of your "friends" surround you and you have found that peaceful space, entranced with the story before you.

This artwork is NOW AVAILABLE in my Redbubble shop:

Using fire as part of a cycle of creation, I have changed the form of these drawings again.

I just realized that not only I celebrate a whole year of Doodle O'Clock in November, but also it's been a year since I have been here on Mastodon!

Thank you so much for having me around here and being the absolute most lovely corner there is online ❤️

It may not look like much. But this is the first drawing I do with markers.😎

You: You haven't spent your Sunday chasing bees round the garden with your camera then drawing on the photos have you?

Me: What?! That sounds like a foolish way to waste an afternoon!

Also me: Yes, yes I have.

A little pencil sketch of my two dogs Sally and Misty sleeping together on the sofa. Pencils and graphite sticks on paper.

I'll do a proper drawing of Misty soon, this was just for practice as I haven't drawn much lately.

Hope you like it!

#Introduction 
Hello!
I’m a person that makes art. Lately in the form of indie comics. I also make videos about music.
Current events are also of interest, but I’ll just boost that stuff rather than make original posts (mostly).
Here is a good example of one of my ongoing comic strips:

And a drawing I made of Deirdre Beaubeirdre from Everything Everywhere All At Once, that I think came out pretty good.

I just moved over from mastodon.world so apologies for posting this again (I promise I'll never double post again, but I posted this right before I moved servers and now its gone).

I'm a watercolor artist but I've been exploring textured ink drawings, so I loved the challenge of this curator prompt. I tried my best to channel my inner-Edward Gorey

The every day struggle - was fun to draw ;)

CW: Eye contact with a pencil and rage 😀

Ça y est ! Je leur ai trouvé un nom : ce sont les Eskja [ɛskiɑ:], des petits êtres discrets de la nature qui nous protègent.

Les cinq lettres de Eskja viennent des initiales de mes proches les plus chers.

I started making GIFs from my art at the beginning of pandemic, and I haven't really stopped: gwennseemel.com/artwork/gifs/

Je reprends les illustrations en rapport avec les 24 saisons du calendrier agricole chinois 😀

A l'automne dernier, j'ai commencé à observer comment je ressentais le temps, mon appréciation des bons moments, ma présence lorsque je dessine où je code. Mais aussi, l'impact des saisons sur nos corps, les plantes que je consomme, les couleurs et l'air qui change.

En ce moment, je dessine des petites planches à partir d'empreintes végétales.

That's why I drew this map. An hommage to Moncef and the place he built to give joy to people in the hard world we live in.

This cartography is inspired by that awesome #Cartanatomy serie by @colpizen ❤

I tried to explore botanical knowledge and cartography with this map. It's an attempt to represent my reading notes about the ecosystems of the soil. This thinking is inspired by the awesome #Cartanatomy serie by @Colpizen ❤
