An experiment I was trying this month, in alcohol marker and coloured pencil, from imagination. I love copper beech trees, hence the foliage colour choice. #Illustration #TraditionalArt #ColouredPencil #Markers #Trees #Art #MastoArt #CreativeToots

Updated my website with a few recent bits and bobs: https://helenmclart.neocities.org/ Pondering whether to split the traditional and digital work into separate galleries in future, but it will do as is for now. #ArtistOnMasto #FediArtist #Portfolio

Alcohol markers and micron fine liner on 200 gsm marker paper, from imagination, inspired by a photo I saw. I liked doing this one, even if videoing it was challenging (mainly due to lack of experience and kit). Limiting my colour palette is more necessary for the medium, but also a fun exercise when you make it all the "wrong" colours, lol.

RE: https://mastodon.art/@helenmclaughlinart/116477441770100509 I finished this the other day, but I feel like I probably boosted at the wrong times and not many got to see it. Apologies for the re-post, I just wanted to try again. #Art #MastoArt #DigitalArt #DigitalPainting #FediArt #Landscape

After another Bandcamp Friday filled with good music and happy feels, my husband has decided to start singing our cat&#39;s name to the tune of the original series Star Trek theme. Send help.

#SaturdayMinecraft Still picking away at the city, but no big, impressive projects to show recently. I started on some taller blocks which had so many stairs, I decided they needed lifts. Then I made the lifts their own towers with precarious walkways linking to several buildings, &#39;cos why not? The aim with this city was always to build really tall eventually and have elevated roads, so I guess I&#39;m experimenting with that finally. Bonus update pic of the overall map. #Minecraft

#MondayWritersBlock So in between picking away at novel no. 3, I have got a bit distracted with a new website project (screenshot below). This will of course involve breaking the first two novels up into manageable parts, and honestly, re-reading them is actually turning out to be fun and encouraging. (While holding myself back from editing them to death, heh.)
