Rat Mage in an Alleyway

 

A Rat Mage is a magician with mystical powers related to rats. Shrimple as that!

I intend to color and shade this later, maybe add a but more detail. I'll post those here when I do.

Snake + Woman

Mechanical pencil on sketchpad. Lots of erasing. Why doesn't real life come with an undo button?

Also, this is the third time I've done a sketch with a lady at rest with an animal in the image. I wonder if this is a new theme.

Ballpoint on Paper

Turns out I can still do physical art, too, on occasion! These were done on the quick at work during my lunchbreaks, using the paper and pen that was available to use. This was something I used to do towards the latter end of when I was still drawing occasionally years ago.

The interesting challenge of ballpoint is that there's no erasing mistakes; any lines you screw up, you need to either accept the jank of it and keep going, or, optimally, find a way to incorporate the mistake into the piece, adapting your work as you go. It also forces you to accept the layout you started with, or start over from scratch. Likewise, your typical cheap ballpoint pen (Papermate in this case) is a somewhat sub-optimal drawing implement compared to a pencil or ink brush, so it forces you to really learn how to control the tool properly for proper line thickness and shading.
