Aloha kakahiaka! I finished my post early today! This is for Mabʻs Drawlloween Club Day 2 – Vampire. And duh, itʻs VAMPIRA 🖤
It was so quick because I made this drawing in ProCreate. So fast and easy!
Iʻll be switching prompt lists as always this season! In hopes that Iʻll pick up a habit that can last all year
I feel like this image would make a great sticker. Which colorway do you prefer?
I drew Hapu’u Ferns for Inktober day 8. Using Laulima Hawaii’s prompt list.
I only drew the leaves here in this piece, so you can’t really tell what a large fern Hapu’u is. These fern trees can grow up to 30 ft tall! From my memory, they are also very hairy plants. The fronds are covered in what looks like orangutan fur. My Popo had many ferns in her garden. She used the fibrous Hapu’u trunks to plant orchids.
We had a Hapu’u planted near our lanai when we moved into our home. It eventually reached the roof and we got rid of it. Then, little fire ants became a problem here on Oahu and lots of people lost their Hapu’u, including at my parents house. Now I regret losing mine – they are harder to replace and you just don’t see them anymore. Ants drive me crazy though, so maybe it’s better this way.
I drew a Brittle Star for Inktober day 7. The prompt is STARFISH.
I remember seeing Brittle Stars a lot when I was younger. Not just at the aquarium field trips, but also at the tidepools at the beach.
At a Drink and Draw evening with my buddies a few month’s back, I drew another of these guys.
I used my LAMY Safari pen with Noodler’s Bulletproof Black. I also used an ink wash of Kaweco Pearl Black.
Did you see yesterday’s post about my “Deer in the Moonlights” drawing? I forgot to send a newsletter about it so you may have missed it. Check it out here!
