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

🍵 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

Two things I am constantly reminding myself of is that sketchbooks don’t need to be perfect, and that not every drawing needs to become a finished piece. I happen to like this pose so I may do something with it, but it’s nice to give yourself the leniency to simply create with no expectations. 💞✨💞 #ursaink #sketchbookart @ohuhuart #ohuhumarkers #sketchbookpage #sketchysketch #markersketch #sketcheveryday #sketchbooktour #brainbreaks #artbreak (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKU8fYDMZ84/?igshid=2y2c1n9xyobj

MERMAY // Earth Scroll for close ups 👉✨ Earth’s mermaid in “Celestial Sirens” has a seahorse body because seahorses feel more earthly than octopus or long fins. What do you think? . Follow @ursa.ink for more mermaid-y goodness. ✅ https://www.instagram.com/p/COij9EtscQU/?igshid=up6fqsvac6wm

#MarchMeetTheMaker 😂 NEWEST MAKE 🤦‍♀️ My daughter made some bizzare comment last night about her 2021 Halloween costume idea: a monkey mask with a top hat and beard. 🤦‍♀️ And thus, APEraham Lincoln was invented. It was too funny to pass up a drawing opportunity like this. I had a half hour before calling it quits for the night so it was ON! . #ursaink @joannehawker #marchmeetthemaker2021 #meettheartist #meetthemaker #meettheartist2021 #newestmake #newestcreation #aperahamlincoln #abrahamlincoln #kidsareweird (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMC52DVsiV5/?igshid=6jkd8o1vf9pi
