#marchmeetthemaker 💜 BELIEFS & VALUES ✨ The first thing that comes to mind is my whole reason for starting Ursa Ink: Just be WEIRD! ✨ I can not count the times I have shown someone my sketches or something I was drawing only to receive a long pause followed by, “Hmm. Okay.” or “... that’s... different”. ✨ I have learned to embrace my weirdness. My art isn’t for everyone and that’s alright. I rather create things I am passionate about and make me happy than to always cater to the taste of others. It is difficult to wait for your fans to find you. But I rather have only a handful of fans than comprise on my own sincerity in my work. ✨ All I can do is continue down my weirdo path— making art that puts an awkward smile on my face. 💜 #ursaink @joannehawker #meetthemaker #meetthemaker2021 #marchmeetthemaker2021 #meettheartist2021 #meettheartist (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL9_uARMGMI/?igshid=1t05wfkbopafx
#MarchMeetTheMaker 🐆Today’s Prompt inspired me to make a mini video of what my typical day looks like. You’ll also get a little peek of some of my animals in my morning routine. ✨ @joannehawker #MeetTheArtist2021 #MeetTheArtist #MeetTheMaker #StudioSpace #StudioTour #artistsoninstagram (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMA3BM8gjkg/?igshid=1wbdn4f5uoyen

Monster Cat! Scroll to see more 👉 It took quite a bit of practice to make sumi ink paintings I was happy with. Now I need to find some nice paper to mount them on... On a side note, my daughter and I spent nearly an hour on Google translate trying to figure out what type of hair each of my Chinese ink brushes is made of. 💜 #yokai #yokaiart #sumiink #sumiepainting #inkpainting #monstercat #catofinstagram #japanesebrushpainting #inkbrush #painting #artistic #artworkpromotion #artistoninstagram #artoftheday #artfeature #artpage #100daysofart (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTIFgjylB3w/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’m going to experiment today. I am painting the under layer with my pretty Japanese watercolors and then I’ll try doing a top layer with gouache. I have a new watercolor sketchbook that I want to fill with Ghibli landscape studies and Sailor Moon screenshots... because why not?! 💜 #ursaink #workinprogress #artworkinprogress #watercolorpainting #komorebiwatercolor #japanesewatercolor #gouchepainting #ghiblistudy #ghiblilandscape #ghibliscenery (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNfn_7FsWXf/?igshid=10un0qorsv6ww
Do you practice every day? Even if you don’t draw, do you practice your craft daily? Drawing, sketching, doodling; it’s like air for me. My anxiety goes through the roof if I don’t have busy hands. ✨🖤✨ #ursaink #markersketch #sketchbookdrawing #sketchdaily #markerdrawing #ohuhumarkers @ohuhu_marker_art #calaverasart #femaleartistfriday #artislife🎨 #womenartists #artaccount #draweverydamnday (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLezZ7fs9Sp/?igshid=e3fvsvxfekdd
MERMAY // Earth Scroll for close ups 👉✨ Earth’s mermaid in “Celestial Sirens” has a seahorse body because seahorses feel more earthly than octopus or long fins. What do you think? . Follow @ursa.ink for more mermaid-y goodness. ✅ https://www.instagram.com/p/COij9EtscQU/?igshid=up6fqsvac6wm
