  1. It's the 16th of Drawtober, and today's prompt is 'candle'

    What with the fire danger warnings starting to crank up we don't want to be lighting any fires around here, so as it's #Kambarang (you might call it a second spring, or Sprummer) in the #NoongarSeasons calendar the Candlestick Banksias are giving us a show with their bright lemony yellow flower spikes.

    Also known as Biara by some Nyoongar people.

  2. Rotring Art Pen with black ink and a waterbrush wash, and Diamine Star Bright Glacier with the Teranishi dip glass nib.

    Spiders are in full swing here, half grown Orb Weavers are spinning their webs everywhere as insects ramp up as does the heat, so I had good hopes of finding something interesting in the garden. This little scene caught my eye. We had rain overnight, and while the spider was no doubt sheltering somewhere, the web was mostly intact and had caught a few rain drops, which at first glance seemed to just be hanging in the air.

    I was struck by the brightness of the web and dew in the sunlight, and the relative dullness of the foliage and fence against it, so used it as a good reason to break out one of the Diamine Star Bright inks. It sure does shine.

  4. Australian Ravens are found all over the country. They are (usually) completely black, except after a year old, when their eyes turn white. Only once, in over 50 years, have I seen one with a single white feather. This isn't that one. They're quite a large bird, apparently, compared to their American cousins, when Elizabeth Moon came over some years ago and we took her birdwatching she was gobsmacked with how big the ravens were and quite distracted by them when we were trying to show her more, to us locals, unusual birds.

    They're smart, of course, and handsome birds. They're of particular importance to Nyoongar people, being one of the moieties - Waardong the Raven, and Manatj the Corella - Waardong must marry Manatj, and Manatj must marry Waardong since the Nyittiny - the cold times, the time before anything existed.

    There's a lot of them in the suburbs, and you will often see them investigating builders' leftovers in building sites.

    And hear them. Arrrrrr aaarrrrrrrrrr aaar AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRR!

    Anyway, drawn using a very pretty Diamine ink, Upon A Star, and the funky glass nib from Teranishi.

  5. Inktober Day 12 = "Toss". Add a dollop of fun into your day! #inktober #inktober2026 #penandink

  6. A clip-on paper roll holder I made to use for the live drawing club I've been attending. The paper is just the super cheap masking paper you can buy at any hardware store for house painting. That's about perfect for the fast gesture poses that no one's going to hang up anyway.

    The drawing is just a quick doodle that started as a scribble with my parallel pens.
