Just wanted to share this quick doodle I did in my sketchbook of a bear in a suit. 🐻🕴️ It was created using my trusty Lamy fountain pen and I had a ton of fun drawing this little guy. Sometimes it's nice to just let loose and doodle something fun and whimsical. I love drawing animals in human clothing, it always adds a fun twist to the piece. This bear looks like he's ready to tackle whatever the day throws his way, all dressed up and ready to go. Let me know what you think in the comments! Do you enjoy drawing quick sketches like this, or do you prefer spending more time on a piece? 🖋️✨ #quickdoodle #lamy #bearinthesuit #animalart #sketchbook #funart #artistsoninstagram #yyjart #bcartist #canadianartist (at Victoria, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpOPlsaSC7R/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🎨🐻 "Draw me like one of your French girls" Had some fun with this pen and ink drawing inspired by a hilarious photo by @north_island_wild! 📸🤣 This bear seems to have found the perfect pose to channel its inner "Titanic" spirit. 😂🚢🎭 I love exploring the beauty and humor of wildlife through my art, and this piece was no exception. It took me a few hours to capture all the details and textures of the fur, but I'm happy with the final result. 🙌🏼✨ Hope this drawing puts a smile on your face, and if you want to see more of my art, feel free to check out my portfolio. 🖋 Thanks for following and supporting my creative journey! ❤️ #drawmelikeoneofyourfrenchgirls #penandink #artwork #bear #wildlifeart #humor #funnyanimals #creativeprocess #artistsoninstagram #artoftheday #supportartists #followyourpassion #yyjart #vancouverisland #bcartist https://www.instagram.com/p/Cosk-aOSrUG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is "Drift Away", and has been my most popular piece of artwork to date. I'm always curious what story people imagine with this character. So what story do I, as the artist, imagine? Maybe this is the 'nice guy', who waited outside her work to give her flowers, only to see her enveloped in the arms of another man. Did you notice he had flowers?

Tools. I started ink drawing with Micron fineliners (left). However, I didn't like that they were disposable. I moved on to dip pens like the Hunt 107 that is next in line, with Speedball Super Black India Ink, but I have a hard time getting consistent lines. Have also tried a Lamy fountain pen, with Noodlers black ink, but still not satisfied. I've just discovered technical pens, so picked up a Koh-i-noor Rapidograph (far right). Apparently you can load them with Golden high flow acrylic paint, which is a tip from @danapiazza, so going to have to pick some up and try it for my next large piece.
