Inspiration for my daily #inkyDays drawings mostly come from science, nature, and mathematics. But sometimes it comes from current events, and my need to process them.

So, today, I've made my first attempt to draw penguins in a way that works with my techniques. I'm a little surprised at how cute they turned out, when I was angry while drawing them.

Hand drawn generative/procedural art in ink on an open page of my sketchbook. The abstract pattern looks a bit like penguins on a curvy line.

Waves perspective.

"Rest area" is the superpower of painters and comic book artists.

Moebius' style for example was all about pushing the rest area to the extreme. This lets the viewer's eye finish the picture, instead of tediously rendering details and having something that looks too busy.

Pen and ink drawing of water crests getting flatter as they get closer to the horizon, and waves appearing smoother up close and with a enlarged pattern.

The Wee Owl Art

Barn owls have some extraordinary adaptations to help them hunt at night, such as incredibly sensitive hearing and the ability to spot movement in very low light.

Teacups. Tiny monsters. Enjoying a peaceful moment to themselves. Humans aren't the only ones who enjoy a spot of tea now and again. Little monsters have been know to slip quietly into kitchens when no one is around and sneak a sip of two of freshly brewed sweetness. This sleepy creature drank a bit too much sweet jasmine tea and found it hard to stay awake. Shhhhhh...

Set against a rosy colored wallpaper with pale blooms, a dainty china teacup decorated with swirling buds, sits quietly on a table top. Inside, a strange being reposes, with heavily lidded eyes. Atop its head are pink branches with teal colored leaves. It appears to be deeply pondering the universe as it slips into a blissful sleep. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

Paper Faces - The Human Psyche: PARANOIA
FACES. We all have them. They fascinate me. Expressions in particular - from subtle to extreme.
OLD PAPER. These too share qualities of human expression. From long ago handwritten notes, aged newspapers and maps to worn paper stained with time. In this series of prints, I combine them to create whimsical "stories" about the nature of being human.

Entranced
I love to read and every once in a while, I find a book that I cannot put down, no matter what is happening around me. For those of you who have ever been lucky enough to encounter this transcendent state of being, this drawing is for you! :-) Imagine curled up in your favorite comfy chair, with a hot cup of tea and plate of delicious cookies nearby. All of your "friends" surround you and you have found that peaceful space, entranced with the story before you.

On a muted dark green watercolor wash, a detailed pencil/graphite drawing of a young girl staring avidly at an open book. She is seated in a chair and surrounded by all kinds of creatures, including a turtle, rabbit, owl, alligator, snake, fish and bird. Next to her on a small table, a cup of steaming tea and a plate of cookies.

The Mysterious Monster March
Front cover of a children's picture book that I am working on.
---------------
As another day ends and darkness falls,
worries begin to grow. The monsters realize they
are now far away from their homes and entering
a world that no one has ever been before.

Anxious whispers and tearful sobs burst out.
"Beware! Beware! one monster pleads.
There is danger ahead!" But no one has stopped
for sleep this night. The leaders keep them
marching, marching, towards a distant light.
-----------------
To read some of the pages from the story, please visit: https://gretchenkdeahl.com/gallery/?mgc_58=72/mysterious-monster-march I'd love to hear your comments or feedback! :-)

Still deep within a dense twilight forest, several monsters gather together. Their facial expressions show fear and worry. One large monster dramatically shares his anxiety with a little blue monster, while another has its arm around its back. One graceful monster glances behind itself in alarm, while another buries its face in its hands, teeth chattering in terror.
