I drew again in my small sketchbook Canson art book universal (14×21 cm / 4×6 in), using individually or together a black Pentel brushpen, Kuretake fudegokochi black pen, Sakura Pigma Micron 003 black fine liner (very very fine), Kuretake light grey Brush Writer, and a white brush pen which doesn’t work too well anymore.

For the first time since I started doing the challenge every year in 2016, I have missed days because I didn’t like these prompts. In fact it’s the first time in those seven years that I found the list mostly terrible.

Yet I was able to draw three of them in tribute to Moebius, one to Ghibli, one to “Money Heist” (La casa de papel), and one to “Arcane, League of Legends”.

Art: cormorant fishing

Near a blossom-laden old tree is a fishing boat laden with cormorants. There are hills rising from the mist, and a temple sits at the top of a hill, under a big red sun.

I didn’t spend a lot of time on each drawing this year. I wasn’t exactly inspired either, so as a result there are only a handful which I really liked. But as usual, I enjoyed myself doing it!

All done on my small sketchbook Canson art book universal (format 14×21 cm), using a Pentel black brushpen, Kuretake fudegokochi black pen, Kuretake light grey Brush Writer in many cases, and in the cases of the last two, that same pen in Geranium Red.

Here’s a gallery of all of the drawings and the prompt list is at the bottom.

This took me a long time: 5 or 6 hours over two days for a rather small piece, as I drew it on my little Canson artbook (10,2 x 15,2 cm – 4 x 6 in).

Apparently this month is the celebration of Black history, so this is timely.

Very detailed pencil sketch on an open artbook of the face of Angela Davis, ornate flowers and lettering. The mechanical pencil and eraser pen are on the cutting mat.

I enjoyed doing the pencil sketch. I found it very pretty.

Black ink.

Red lettering in acrylic paint: POWER on the left side, TO THE on the top, and PEOPLE on the right side. The red acrylic paint marker is on the cutting mat next to the artbook.

Red acrylic paint and black ink.

Work in progress to paint red the ornaments at each corner. The pens are next to the open artbook.

I used a thicker black pen with an angled nib. I also had to make small corrections which I did with a red ink felt tip pen, and a think white acrylic paint marker.

Finished!

Trying out how it would look like if it were framed.
