The line work is finished! This is Andelisa (the main character) and Judah from my upcoming novel #DreamHackers. • I haven’t been able to write as much as I’d like due to my health. Looking at words on a computer screen gives me a migraine. Doing drawings like this keeps the story growing in my mind, though. When I do sit down to write I’m able to type much faster. I don’t waste time wondering what to write, I just have to describe the elaborate world I’ve already constructed. • • • #writer #writersofinstagram #writing #writerscommunity #writingtechniques #fantasywriter #scifiwriter #fictionwriter #art #artist #instaartist #instaart #illustrator #illustration #illustratoroninstagram #fantastyart #scifi #scifiart #penandink #linework #inkfeature #swsfeature #blxcksheepco @blackworknow https://www.instagram.com/p/BqZvuzZn2dh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16w0m16huz9wu

#WIP: Almost done with this scene from my book #DreamHackers. I tend to avoid drawing backgrounds but I’ve been enjoying drawing this interior. I feel like I’ve been living inside my own story... • • • #writer #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #writerslife #micronart #penandink #penandinkdrawing #linework #illustrator #illustration #drawing #sketchbook #animalart #scientificillustration #scifi #scifiart #scifiwriter #fantasywriter #swsfeature #inkfeature #blxcksheepco #fish #marinelife https://www.instagram.com/p/BqYv47qnBtB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14518gn8y2rog

#WIP: Illustrating a scene from my novel #DreamHackers. The characters go to an abandoned house turned biology lab. So, I’m blending the aesthetic of the sort of kitchen you’d see in an old Brooklyn brownstone with that of an aquarium. I’m getting plenty of inspiration from @rfedortsov_official_account for my sea creatures. 🐟🐠🧪 • • • #writer #writersofinstagram #fantasywriter #writerslife #art #artist #illustrator #illustration #books #instaart #instaartist #penandink #penandinkdrawing #linework #micronart #blxcksheepco #swsfeature #inkfeature #animalart #fish #fantasyart #creepy #creepycute #sketchbook #novel https://www.instagram.com/p/BqV3vLPHHqT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=k0apctxjkw28

I’ve made a lot of progress on the line work on Charlotte’s portrait today. She’s looking just like I imagined when I was writing about her! It’s always a bit strange to see the drawings come to life even though I’m the one doing it. When I’m drawing I’m sort of in a trance and hyper focused on tiny details. It’s not until I take a break that I see the piece as a whole. It’s a little startling to see this person staring back at me that I’ve only seen before in my imagination for years... #DreamHackers #writer #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #writerslife #fantasywriter #portrait #penandink #inkfeature #micron #micronart #dotwork #linework #illustration #illustrator #illustratorsoninstagram #drawing #sketchbook #instaart #instaartist #art #artist #traditionalart #instaart #creative https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp4iIc2npjz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1eg35i4rij2bh

I haven’t drawn a character from #DreamHackers for a while, so I sketched another today. This is Charlotte, she’s the main character’s mother. Hopefully I’ll get to finish the outline and shading tomorrow. I’ve been having an arthritis flare up that feels like the worst flu of my life. I’m grateful that it eased up enough today that I was able to draw 🖤 #sketch #sketchbook #writer #writerslife #writersofinstagram #fantasywriter #writerscommunity #drawing #illustrator #illustration #illustratorsoninstagram #art #artist #artistsoninstagram #instaart #instaartist #chronicillness #autoimmunedisease #chronicpain #arthritis #psoriaticarthritis #spoonie #spoonielife https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp2TXn3nd47/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1r7updfc3hh6t

#inktober2018 Day 5: HIGH PRIESTESS I didn’t have time to do the shading and background on this piece. When it’s done it’ll be a chapter opener for #DreamHackers. The novel takes place in New York City in the near future. The Konapacha Blossom festival is the Met Gala of the spirituality enlightened. Only the high priestess can predict when the konapacha blossoms will open. On that night she leads the other priestesses in a dance of dedication. @diebbie @inktoberworld2018 @jakeparker #diebbietober #inktober #digitalart #digitalartist #writer #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #fantasywriter #scifiwriter #illustration #illustrator #illustratorsoninstagram #drawing #characterdesign #originalcharacter #instaart #instaartist #art #artist #fantasyart https://www.instagram.com/p/Boj7S83CUEW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1udkedb0xod5h

Alrick, a character from my book #DreamHackers, is a brilliant engineer. One of his inventions has been used to kill and torture dozens of people. Can he prevent thousands more from being killed or has it become more powerful than him? #writer #writersofinstagram #womenwriters #blackwritersofinstagram #blackwriters #art #artist #blackandwhite #blackartist #penandink #penandinkdrawing #sketchbook #illustration #illustrator #portrait #originalcharacter #oc #spoonie #spoonielife #arttherapy https://www.instagram.com/p/BnXA9wfBPPF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3plx68i354x5
