I’ve been trying to practice layering with ink pencils, and also mixing media more often.

Black Horse
When I’m stressed, I draw horses. Course…I also just draw horses. So, it’s not really a reliable indicator.
Rosh
In the Badlands Job, Zare meets a kiroen, a unicorn, named Rosh. Long story short: she now owes Rosh a favor.
archer
I found a picture of a mounted archer and decided to practice with the intense ink sticks–big unwieldy things–forcing myself to rely on bigger, sweeping strokes of vivid color. After I accidentally dumped out my–carefully arranged and color coded–case and having to painstakingly find each stick’s proper home, I got to work.
It was good practice for me. Didn’t come out too awful, either.

Rosh
Unicorns–or kiroen as they are called in Zare’s world–haven’t made an appearance in the River Rebellion. But this is how I imagine Rosh, the kiroen Zare meets in the Badlands Job.

doldrums
Late Spring/early Summer is apparently a rough time on my writing! IÂ apologize for the interrupted posting. It’s when all the travel wraps up that I tumble flat on my creative face and find that coloring books are about all I can manage. That and practicing my penmanship.
I promise I’m working on the story, too.
I even drew a little from scratch this week.
Watercolors
I always liked what God had to say about horses–holding them up as an object lesson for Job about how awesome and powerful God is.
