Hope in a Jar

Day 10 Inktober – “Hope”

Who knew that Vitamin Sunshine would become so important? All my life I have been hiding from the harsh rays of the sun and applying sunscreen when on the beach.

Now, I run out every time I see clear blue skies where the sun is shining bright. Thanks to the Vitamin D deficiency that has taught me to embrace light for a healthier life and a positive frame of mind. Hence, this drawing of my sunlight/hope in a jar.

Day 5 – Blade

Day 5 Inktober – “Blade”

When I saw Blade as day five’s Inktober prompt, the first thing that came to my mind was Shardblade. The Stormlight Archive is one of the best fantasy book series and Kaladin is my favorite character! This sketch is the chapter art for Kaladin and I always wanted to attempt drawing this.

In difficult situations I always think of Kaladin as he gives me strength, courage, and hope to overcome my fears.

Sometimes fictional characters become your soul and sole motivation. Thank you Brandon Sanderson for giving me Kaladin. 🖤

Mr. Cat on a Branch

Perched on the branch,

Mr. Cat watched the changing colors of the sky,

With its emerald eyes.

The black and white version of the sketch looks cleaner but the colored version highlights the imperfections, just to make things more believable and achievable.

Umbrella Girl

She stepped out again

when it started to rain.

She held an umbrella in her hand

& wore no slippers on her feet.

She liked to splatter,

the water on the streets

with her bare feet.

So every time it rained

People who saw her exclaimed,

“There goes the Umbrella Girl again!”
