A place to show my work


I created this piece this year and I’m thrilled with how the ghost turned out! The colors of the house are among my finest work, and I absolutely love the facial expressions I captured here. Overall, I can confidently say this is one of my favorite haunted house drawings I’ve ever made!

Over the weekend, a great friend of mine and I decided to go to a paint night event. We were guided through the process of creating this incredible masterpiece step by step. The whole experience was a total joy, filled with laughter and spontaneous creativity. The instructor was not only extremely knowledgeable but also super nice, making everyone feel comfortable and inspired to express themselves. She really encouraged us to tap into our own creativity, which meant that no two art pieces looked alike — it was fantastic seeing everyone’s unique styles emerge. I absolutely love how my ghost turned out; it has this fun, quirky vibe that makes me smile every time I look at it. Plus, I noticed that I’ve definitely improved in creating trees, which was a nice surprise.

Candy corn is one of my favorite candies, especially during Halloween when its bright colors bring joy and nostalgia. The yellow, orange, and white remind me of childhood memories of trick-or-treating. I wanted to draw a cute piece to add to my collection, capturing its playful charm as it stands out with a delightful simplicity that always makes me smile.

I thought this one would be perfect to share today since it is the emotion I am feeling at this time. I love how the fire on his head came out. Back when I was coloring this, I was trying to go for a blended look with the flames, aiming to capture the fluidity and movement within them. I think that it came out really well, as the colors not only bring the flames to life but also mirror the tumultuous feelings inside me, creating a deeper connection to the artwork.

In October 2020, I went on a Halloween draw marathon, where this little diddy came in. I discovered this amazing experience on the YouTube channel Draw So Cute, and I fell in love with its charming tutorials and whimsical characters. The creator’s clear instructions made it easy to follow along, and I was completely absorbed in the process. After carefully following her directions, this is how mine turned out, and I couldn’t have been more thrilled with the final product. I love this one from start to finish; every detail adds to the overall joy it brings me.

Yoshi is my all-time favorite character, so I had to draw him. When I started, I thought it would be difficult, but it looked really good, much better than I initially anticipated. I spent considerable time perfecting the details, capturing Yoshi’s playful spirit and vibrant colors. The only negative I would have to say about this experience is that I need to work on drawing hands and feet more effectively, as they often pose a challenge in my artwork. However, I do have to say that this is the best I have ever drawn hands and feet, and I’m proud of my progress in that area. So, it is a win-win; not only did I enjoy the creative process, but I also improved my skills along the way.

What is your favorite hobby or pastime?
I feel like I have already answered this one, but I will go ahead and answer it again. My all-time favorite hobby is to create art. It can be by drawing, collage, painting, or artistic expression. I find joy and fulfillment in bringing my imagination to life through art. Whether it’s a detailed sketch, a vibrant painting, or a mixed media creation, creating art allows me to explore my creativity and express myself in unique and meaningful ways.

It has been a while since I posted my art and/or drawings, and I am going to try to do more of them going forward. I drew this haunted house in 2021. I really enjoyed working on the intricate details of the house, like the crooked windows and the spooky ghost. Capturing the eerie atmosphere of a haunted house was a fun challenge.

Many colours wait
Ready for use, on a plate
There is no debate
Wanting to be a showpiece
So, take your time and inspire…

Each one takes up its own space
With different expressions upon their face

A snarky smirk or frown for a while
A look of anger or crooked smile
–
Why are they here what do they want
Can’t they find another to haunt
–
I’d ask them all but they don’t say
Why they never go away
–
I should hire a medium to take a look
Or tell me why they continue to spook
–
But the spiritual world is a closed book
And as a mortal I’m afraid to look
–
So I found my answer in the end
Rather than fight them, embrace them friends
–
As my logical conclusion is here
The ghosts all start to disappear
–
First smirky, fearful, then happy and mad
Next nervous, thoughtful, then silly and sad
–
Each ghostly apparition leaves
Taking along their gown and sleeves
–
As they’re gone I realize the key
Each of the ghosts was an aspect of me
–
Emotions can be scary but never fear
There’s a hundred feelings for everyone here.
–
So next time when adversity has you thrown
Think of those chalky friends and you won’t be alone.

Happiness, sadness, and others are found
Surrounding people of every race

Which we choose or rather chooses us
We often have very little choice
Confronting our feelings is a must
When talking in our inner voice
–
We might as well roll with it all
There’s no need to lose control
Feelings, inside of us rise and fall
Learn to ride the ebb and flow
–
So how do we deal with all these thoughts
How do we gain an upper hand
Dealing with the past, you’ve wrought
Helps you draw boundaries in the sand
–
Then one day, you create a space
Between what you see and what you feel
Putting self-control in place
Preventing overreaction, a bad way to deal
–
So as the realities challenge with strife
Remember, you are in control
Of your reality and your life
Don’t let your feelings take a toll…

I haven’t posted any of my art in a while, so I decided to post this bad boy. I love how they came out, but I did make a few coloring errors which I will learn from. Despite the coloring errors, I’m proud of the overall outcome and I can’t wait to apply the lessons learned to my future projects.

They might look like slugs
but they are actually pugs
With squishy faces and curly tails,
They play and bark, wagging their trails
-M.A.D.

Bamm Bamm with his strength untold,
From the Flintstones, a heart of gold.
With a club in hand, and a joyful shout,
He’s always ready to help out.
A child of stone, so mighty and tough,
But deep down inside, he’s gentle enough.
With Pebbles, his love is clear to see,
A friendship that’s as strong as can be.
