#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

The children of the Alpine hinterland have someone you should know... Have a creepy holiday season with Krampus in “Krampus Night”! ✨👹🌙✨ (Link in bio)
This week I am teaching grade school students to make flip books. Always a fun project! We’re starting with the bouncing ball... animation 101. Quite a few of the older students knew what onion skins were from using animation apps on their phones, but had never used the same technique using paper. ✨🤜🤛✨ #artteachersofinstagram #artteacher #artteacherlife #bouncingballanimation #flipbook #flipbooks (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLFSVH8sGkU/?igshid=mg9yoq0pskmp
What’s in your mug? I had some of my first hot tea of the season this morning. I’m not a big coffee drinker, but I can be convinced to drink a mocha or some spiked hot cocoa with marshmallows.
WORK IN PROGRESS // I’m writing the kitsune and kappa stories today for my Mythic Mail Japan illustrated novel.

✨Ukiyo-e inspired excerpt from my Mythic Mail Japan book coming in September! ✨ Follow @ursa.ink for more. 💜 . I have always adored and admired the simplicity of Ukiyo-e style art. In reality, it is very difficult to create... for me it is anyway. Not coincidentally, Camellia is the name of my daughter so I kind of snuck her into my book. 😉 Are you familiar with Ukiyo-e Japanese art?

Are you a marker fanatic too? I actually don’t have as many as I feel I *need*... but I wanted to give my Ohuhu flesh tone set on its own. I think they need some more purple-brown tones for darker skin and some better mid tones. But overall a nice set. ✨🖤✨ #ursaink #sketchbookart #sketchoftheday2021 #ohuhumarkers @ohuhuart #skintones #skintonestudy #skintonemarkers #markersketch (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKHSusssG3j/?igshid=66m6vysx7ma3
Loose paint sketch for my next Ghibli scenery study. I really love this particular scene from Kiki’s Delivery Service, but my version will not have Kiki hanging in the window. 💜💜💜 #ursaink #scenerystudy #artstudy #kikisdeliveryservice #ghibliart #watercolorpainting #goauchepainting #artistsoninstagram #artpractice https://www.instagram.com/p/CNnW48_MRLG/?igshid=1ory823fwhdn9
