As much as I love to draw I was forced to take a short break because my back hurts. So, while I’m trying to be kind to my aching back I thought I’d share three recent drawings with you, all dedicated to cats.

Here is one of my latest work-progress-projects: making colorful textures using lino-cut technique. I made random cuts and scratches on a piece of lino using a sharp knife to get messy texture and them made many different prints using various ink colors. The size of watercolor paper prints were made on is 25×35 cm.

I plan on using those textures as backgrounds for drawings.

How was your weekend? Mine was pretty uneventful and laid-back (which I loved) and spent mostly making things, eating good food and listening to obscure 90′s punk rock bands! Yay!
Here is a little showcase of:
 

 *stuff I made over the weekend*

Sometimes there is nothing more relaxing than drawing a big pattern! I felt like I needed to get rd of some stress this weekend so I doodled this big piece (it’s 30×40 cm) and it was very therapeutic.

*messy cards*

cards

In art, I love seeing accurately drawn, clean (and usually uninterrupted  ) lines and I’m always striving to better the quality of lines in my  work and to draw them with confidence. But sometimes, I also feel like  taking a break from accuracy and control and just want create messy  stuff : ) So, a couple of days ago I took a bottle of ink and dipped a  grill stick into it and started drawing and making messy lines on cards.  Later I colored them with crayons and ended up with fourteen messy  cards, different than my usual style.

I also made some gift tags using mini prints of my illustrations and ended up turning one of them into a key chain.

I wish it would rain soda… but instead it’s raining, well, rain.
And, as you’ve probably guessed by my latest posts this is yet another page from my sketchbook.
I wish you all wonderful weekend!

This is another one of the paintings I did in collaboration with Arlen this Winter so I thought it would be a good time to finally post a picture of it. It’s acrylics and ink on wood panel. You can see the first one here.

From my sketchbook, done with color pencils and ink.

Last week I had an interesting dream dreamt early in the morning just before I woke up so I remembered it well. In my dream I saw an illustration of a round cartoon bear skiing. As soon as I woke up I grabbed a piece of paper and sketched the bear I saw in my dream. Later that day I drew my first “bubblegum” bear. You can see it on top photo on the left.
