OMUKADE Man-eating Centipede 🐛 I’m Feeling Bittersweet As I Get Close To Finishing My Mythic Mail
OMUKADE Man-eating Centipede 🐛 I’m feeling bittersweet as I get close to finishing my Mythic Mail Japan illustrated novel. It’s been a great adventure in pushing my illustrations and my storytelling. I hope you will love it as much as I do when it’s released late this summer. 💜🥰 . I want to give a big virtual hug to my Patrons who have supported me and have been enjoying all the behind the scenes process (and tears) for this book. I love you all: 💜 Trevor C. 💜 Bryan J. 💜 Chuck P. 💜Dani D. 💜Becca F. 💜 Alexis L. 💜 Amanda H.

Testing out some color ideas in preparation for Mythtober 2021 ✨ My newest plan is to make each mythic creature square (individual prompt days) into a cumulative poster print. So the little square backgrounds will link up and make a huge gradient background. Hope that makes sense. I can’t wait for Mythtober art challenge to begin! Just a few more days… 💜👻💜👺💜 . Follow along for some or all of my Mythtober 2021 prompts! Get weird with drawings, paintings, poems, etc and use the tags below so I can feature you in my Stories! 👇 @ursa.ink #mythtober2021 #mythtober . . #octoberprompts #artpromptlist #inktober2021 #drawtober #drawtoberprompts #mythoberpromptlist #dtiys #dtiyschallenge #drawthisinyourstyle #mythology #mythicalcreatures #mythical #mythicalcreature #mythicalbeast #weirdart #witchtober #inktoberprompts (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUQY3wlvfIP/?utm_medium=tumblr

🍵 Kumamoto Teahouse 🍡 This teahouse is a fictional place of course, but this is one of my favorite faux polaroids of Japan in my upcoming illustrated novel. When I was a teenager, we had exchange students that stayed with us from time to time. One girl was Kumamoto, Japan. She taught me how to write in traditional calligraphy. I was not very good. But my fondest memory of her is of the postcards of the Kumamoto area that she brought as a gift. Memories of her have made it into my book. . #traveljapan #indiebooks #indieauthor #indieauthorsofinstagram #supportindieauthors #kumamoto #kumamotocity #artistsoninstagram #painting🎨 #artistic #artoftheday🎨 #artpage #illustrationartist #digitalillustrations #digitalpaintings #digitalartwork #digitalarts #digitalarttutorial #digitalartist #californiaart #procreateartist #ipadart #californiaartist (at Kumamoto熊本) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRuFa-YMOU4/?utm_medium=tumblr

WORK IN PROGRESS// Last spot illustration in my new book, Mythic Mail Japan!!! 🎉 Like my great grandmother, also an artist, I have a great fascination with Ukiyo-e style art. I really admire traditional Japanese paintings. It appears simplistic, but in actuality, this style is very difficult to replicate—especially since my personal style is semi realistic. But I love it all the same and I’m excited to feature a few Ukiyo-e inspired illustrations in my book. . #mythicmail #ukiyoe #ukiyoeart #japanesestyle #daruma #darumadoll #artistsoninstagram #painting🎨 #artistic #artworkpromotion #artoftheday🎨 #artpage #illustrationartist #digitalillustrations #digitalpaintings #digitalartwork #digitalarts #digitalarttutorial #digitalartist #californiaart #procreateartist #ipadart #californiaartist (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQWf9IHMLVY/?utm_medium=tumblr

#MarchMeetTheMaker ✨SMALL DETAIL 🐻 For me, the small details in each piece are everything. I love the very end when I can add little highlights here and there, showing where the light is hitting objects around it. 🐻 I take my time on those subtle details that, very likely, I am the only one that notices. Like the tire tread being a dusty, textured grey like it has just rolled over gravel. 🐻 Without these small details a piece would never feel finished. . #ursaink @joannehawker #MarchMeetTheMaker2021 #MeetTheMaker #MeetTheMaker2021 #MeetTheArtist #MeTheArtist2021 #SmallDetails #ArtAccount #femaleartist #artjournal #digitalartwork (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMP5JZNsw6r/?igshid=wt5kho6mont5
