Mythological Creature Sketchbook Series

Back in June, I made a post about a series that I had started in my sketchbook (click here to see). This is the rest of the series that I have worked on since that post. Once a week from May to the end of July, I choose a mythological creature and drew it. This series has been enjoyable to do, because of all of the research I did to learn about the creatures. I also experimented with doing hand drawn type during this series.

Each drawing was done in watercolor, and pen and ink.  All of the drawings in this post were done between June and July.

Fly Away

Acrylic on Illustration Board

December 2013

This illustration is loosely based off of the greek myth of "The Fall of Icarus".  I changed it to be a self-portrait of me, flying away in the city.
