MERMAY // Jupiter Mermaid 🐙 Scroll for closeups👉 Do you like mermaids with different ocean animal features like octopus tentacles or seahorse tails? Personally, I like the variety.

MERMAY // Mars Mermaid I’m making the conscious decision to include a painted version of the real planet as a background, use the planetary symbol as the trident staff, and use the associated planetary colors for the mermaid. I’m having so much fun making these! 💜 . #celestialsirens2021 hosted by: @josephbayfield @shlokadraws @donaverbo.art @leoniergg @lova.draws @dampfnudel_illust @nlo_illustration @naman_doodles https://www.instagram.com/p/COniokbMezk/?igshid=qwhe0agtauyd

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

MERMAY // Mercury Mermaid ✨I’m using the “Celestial Sirens” planetary prompt list, but I’m old school, so I will be including all NINE planets. Pluto still counts— even if as a dwarf planet. I’m also working a little ahead of the scheduled dates because I have other fun stuff to share. 🧜🏻‍♀️ #ursaink #mermay2021 #celestialsirens2021 #mermaychallenge #mermaiddrawing #mermaidcartoon #mermaidart #mermayart #mercury #planetmermaid #mercuryart . @josephbayfield @donaverbo.art @lova.draws @nlo_illustration @shlokadraws @leoniergg @dampfnudel_illust @naman_doodles (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/COYCqqHsRms/?igshid=1ka80g8u34ggv

Does your battery ever run low? My personal energy level is directly tied to social media. The less I look at my phone, the better I feel. But I will say, I do enjoy scrolling through now that I only follow other art accounts. 🌙✨🖤 #ursaink #femaleillustrator #socialmediaaddiction #socialmediaaddict #femaleartistsofinstagram #batterylow #beggingforlikes #cantputmyphonedown #zombieapocalypse (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/COTU64KsaPI/?igshid=1m0n3tsznagyy

It’s officially official. At 34, I am returning to college to earn my Associate of Arts in Illustration. This is a huge step for me and I’m a little nervous, but I’m also determined to open new opportunities for myself and this is how I’m going to do it. 💜💜💜 #aauillustration #ursaink #academyofart #academyofartuniversity #femaleillustrator #womenillustrators #goingbacktocollege #IFeelOld https://www.instagram.com/p/COOZb52sBgP/?igshid=1ka5oruwbe1ec

My neighbors moved, not recently, and I was the beneficiary of many pads of paper. I will definitely be using these up with some classes I’m enrolled in for this year.

I printed out an entire set of these postcards of my art drawing challenges, including Inktober, from last year. They are printed on really nice, satin, postcard cardstock and the colors turned out perfectly vibrant. It’s amazing to have the entire set of 31 to browse through. Let me know if I should print a set for you!

This is the abandoned Japanese theme park used by the spirits in Spirited Away. My daughter wants me to paint the big tree from Totoro next. These are great paintings to cleanse the palette during breaks on other projects. You know, can’t be an artist without 50 “works in progress “... 😂 . #ursaink #spiritedaway #spiritedawayart #spiritedawayredraw #spiritedawayfanart #ghibliredraw #ghiblifanart #ghibliaesthetic (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNz46FlAt5V/?igshid=u6dxwdp6u757

I just finished updating my shop with these scene study paintings. I am so happy with how they turned out and I really appreciate all the love they have gotten this week. . If you wander over to my shop, you will be able to see the third Ghibli scene study that I have not posted yet on social media. ✨🖤✨ #UrsaInk #KikisDeliveryService #Greenhouse #GardenGreenhouse #WatercolorPainting #GouachePainting #GhibliScene #ghibli #artstudy #spiritedaway #shopupdate #sketchbookpage #sketchbooktour #10kartist (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNsxoIBMulC/?igshid=96n8xuh8jw9s

Be sure to check out my Instagram reel for the (brief) process of painting this. 💜 I think I’ll scan these and turn them into prints today. . #ursaink #ghibliart #kikisdeliveryservice #10kartist #sketchbookpage #sketchbookpainting #artoftheday #gardenart #californiaartist (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNpyR7_sVmx/?igshid=1u80tjspri92f

Loose paint sketch for my next Ghibli scenery study. I really love this particular scene from Kiki’s Delivery Service, but my version will not have Kiki hanging in the window. 💜💜💜 #ursaink #scenerystudy #artstudy #kikisdeliveryservice #ghibliart #watercolorpainting #goauchepainting #artistsoninstagram #artpractice https://www.instagram.com/p/CNnW48_MRLG/?igshid=1ory823fwhdn9

It was really nice to use actual paint for a change and not work digitally. Plus, The weather has been so nice this week that I just found a shady spot in the yard and took my time, enjoying painting. I think I will do more of these Ghibli scene studies. 💜 #ursaink #landscapeart #artstudy #scenestudy #californiaartist #watercolorpainting #gouachepainting #sunshine #10kartist #artistcommunity (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNlAsk3MdT1/?igshid=11fcepvyjsw35

Is it spring yet where you live? I don’t mean by the calendar, but actual wildflowers and sunshine spring. . See how fancy I’m getting? I had to pose my sketchbook in my backyard like all the big art accounts. 😂😉 This is Komorebi watercolor and Arteza gouche in my 8x8” watercolor sketchbook. ✨ #ursaink #japanesewatercolor #watercolorandgouache #gouchepainting #ghiblistudy #kikisdeliveryservice #forestart #10kartist #artistcommunity #californiaartist (at Calaveras County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNiFagtMK0T/?igshid=1al3ktrpec8bo

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

I can’t live without my water bottle. I’m one of those people that carries it everywhere because otherwise I would forget to drink ANY water during the day. So of course I have to decorate my massive water bottle with my pretty stickers. 😍 . #ursaink #stickerclub #stickershop #trollstickers #kitsunesticker #alienstickers #alienmovie #xenomorph https://www.instagram.com/p/CNdTICRsTb1/?igshid=xn5b0sjydpxm
