Polka Dot Flower

A little illustration I worked on for fun.

I looked back to my old work and there was a style I liked but I didn't get a chance to experiment as much. Let's see where this goes.

Camping

First camping of the season. Spent my long weekend chilling at Balsam Lake.

Enjoyed my time, waking up early in the morning to fish, see deers walking by, and little snail crawling across the road. I see more wild animals being less afraid of people so I was able to catch closer shot of a chipmunk that didn't scare.
The cute thing I saw was a chipmunk grabbed Ringolo that I dropped and tried putting it in its mouth but it was too salty(that's my guess because it was super salty for me) that he just tossed it and ran away.

Weather was great, food was great, it was good weekend.

Gift Wrap Decoration

An idea I've been doing with wrapping gifts for friends is decorate the gift wrap with sharpie markers. I love collecting plain brown/white papers that I can decorate something with it.

I started this idea with drawing polka dots and stripes as design element using different colors of sharpie markers. Then I thought about drawing characters on the gift wrap.

It's sad to say but this was perfect excuse for me to draw more often using natural medium. I can't even remember the last time using pencil to sketch.

So as a start off, I drew my favorite character from One Piece for 2 year old's birthday.

Outside

It's nice that warm spring is finally here.
Went out carp fishing but I think the water was still cold for them to swing by the shore

Walked around the shore and found nice looking pebbles. There has been lot of adorable ideas of painting rocks so I took some home.

Fishing wasn't so great but found something to take home.
