There is a strange affection between these two. I have been trying to figure out what it is for some time now. I would rather say, Jon is indeed a Black Wolf, always making it hard for me to draw him. It has happened so many times now and not only did it take me many confusing turns with his inktober but also resulted in a massive headache on my part. Well, I suppose he has not finished his rebellion. He and Pepper are the characters in this story I have been making for a couple of years now. I would love to say we are friends at the very least. Haha!

Black ink strokes, flowers and leaves - I find myself entranced by these all the time and I draw them more often, sometimes more than I wanted to. They've become part of my subconscious and in my deep entrancement during my sketches, my hand would simply and almost automatically draw doodles of flora of different kinds. I believe it came from my fascination for nature. It came almost as if I have seen sunlight, meadows, oceans and felt the wind whipping my hair, warm water trickling by my feet on a stoney riverbed, all before I was born. I believe it is fitting, almost honourably, to be represented by them. I shall share the complete illustration with you in the next post.

I am excited to show you what I have made during the last three weeks, and I hope you shall like it.

Also, I have reached out to a fellow ex-intern to create stamps for my illustrations. It is a wonderful collaboration.

Cheers,

Mariel

What was supposed to be a warm up turned into something else altogether. Ink on paper.

I have just realized that I set the image up for Black and White and lost the gold paint over her floral tattoos. 

Oh well, I find that it also looks good this way. 

Oh and I have been updating my deviantArt account as well.
