Mondays are essentially my Sunday. How was your weekend?

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

WORK IN PROGRESS 🖤 I am my own best hand model. I have no idea where this one’s going (as with everything I draw), but it will likely be weird. I’m a little frustrated with having hands lately and it’s coming out in my work. I think some dead flowers might be in order… 🖤 #ursaink #DrawingHands #DrawingHandsHard #handmodel #artisanoutlet #WeirdArt #DarkArt #MacabreArt #MacabreArtwork #DarkArtwork #FantasyArtist #FantasyArt #CaliforniaArtist (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNAx5-DMGvt/?igshid=1b52p68yo56ni

#MarchMeetTheMaker 🎨 COLOR 🧡Color is so important!!! It’s not usually my first thought, however. I like to fly by the seat of my pants. Let the mood take me somewhere. But after the sketch stage, I like to lay down the base colors. 💜 For today’s prompt I wanted to show off my regular color palettes. Maybe you can see my love of rich colors. Those deep blues, plums, and dark moss colors give me the warm and tingly feelings. Pastels creep me out. 💙 #ursaink @joannehawker #MarchMeetTheMaker2021 #MeetTheMaker #MeetTheMaker2021 #MeetTheArtist #MeetTheArtist2021 #ColorPalettes #ColorPalette #ColorPaletteInspiration #ColorAesthetic #ArtAccount #ColorPrompt #colorfullife https://www.instagram.com/p/CMnpTbHsyY5/?igshid=e696fh8q0dqq

I put some effort into a traditional watercolor portrait for the first time in at least a decade. It’s not my best work, but I enjoyed the process. I’m going to work on my watercolor skin tone building a bit more and watch some videos. Any YouTube recommendations for watercolor portraits specifically? ✨ #ursaink #watercolorpainting #watercolorportrait #watercolor_painting #portraitart #femaleartist #womanartist #calaverascounty #californiaartist (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMFcafiMbZm/?igshid=5dundagvn9cc
