Robin Christmas cards

Scrawlrbox October 2019

I like the look of this box, but the prompt 'Dressed to the nines' is giving me problems as always.

Scrawlrbox September

Excited by this box, as its watercolours but different?! never seen or heard of these before but its a novel idea, good for traveling. Also excited about the winsor and newton fineliner pen, I've been wanting to try these out since they first mentioned them. 

Scrawlrbox August

I do love me a rainbow selection, and I'm super happy that we got the chameleon fineliners! the prompt is Rainbow Renaissance so god knows what I'll do for that, maybe I will do a skull again or maybe keep practising my dragons.

Another dragon

A little blue and silver dragon, this time with dice in its treasure hoard. Unsure what to do with the background, should I paint it gold, or stick with the galaxy background like the red one? hmmmm

Also somehow the paper got scratched before I started painting but I wasnt about to let that put me off. 

A little dragon art

I've been wanting to get back to drawing and painting dragons for while now, and I have a few projects in the pipeline that require some dragon art. So here are a few practice pieces.

And here is a more recent artwork that I really love even though I can spot about 3 things wrong with it. Really pleased with how the coins came out, as last time I painted coins it did not go well. 

ScrawlBox June and July

Heres what I did with Junes Scrawlrbox, not following the prompt but painting something that I've been meaning to for a while, a Blue fronted Amazon. Really loved this tiny pallette but I did miss my range of colours from my regular Winsor and Newton paints. 

This is Julys box, its water mixable oils and the prompt is Abstract floral, so I think this one might sit in the to do pile for a while lol. Its not that I dont like it, its just that oils are messy and there's only one canvas with this so I feel I need some practice first.

Glow in the dark Keychains

In a few weeks I will be going camping, and as I have been playing with resin and glow in the dark pigment I thought about making some keychains that can attach to the zips so I can find them in the dark with out the aid of a torch.

In daylight

Charging with a UV light

and glowing. I've had these in my room at night and they give off quite a nice glow all through the night without having to be recharged. The pigment I used is Stuart Semples LIT.

Dice update

So here is a wip of my own dice that I have been working on. Still got a long way to go before they are perfect, but I am learning a lot along the way.

June's ScrawlrBox

Love this box, although I have already got the Polychromos colouring pencils, but I don't own the Daler Rowney Aquafine watercolours. It's a cute travel set that I've been carrying around in my bag since it arrived but have yet to use them lol. The prompt is Summer flourish and I am really stuck on it. 

Luminous Dice

Some dice I didn't make:

TDSO Luminous Ruby

TDSO Luminous Ro Chrome

and TDSO Luminous Shade

Experiments with resin

I have been playing and experimenting with resin these last few weeks, I've gotten various moulds and a few colours/dyes. Most of the above image is 24hour curing resin but I've recently got some UV resin which is making this 10x faster. Luckily I still have my UV box from a previous project so I dont have to rely on the sun here in the UK lol.

I bought some dice moulds from House of Molds and they took a while to get here but now I am able to attempt to make my own dice, yay!

Current set of experiments.

And my favourite one so far.

Sword coast map

Something I've been working on for my campaign in Dungeons and Dragons. I used at least 3 different maps to put all the places I wanted on the map, now the party just has to get out the Underdark first lmao. 

Also that's prototype number 3 of my own dice bags that I am planning on adding to the shop and my Treasure dragons in the future. 

A few more Dice

TDSO Aurora Rainbow Glitter dice

TDSO Eldritch aura

TDSO Storm cloud amethyst

TDSO Duel Phoenix flames

Roll 4 initiative Emeral dragon shimmer

Roll 4 Initiative Sea Dragon shimmer

Dice Dice baby

Sorrynotsorry for that title

Some new additions to the family:

These are Chessex Luminary Sky glow in the dark and here they are under a UV light:

And glowing in the dark:

TDSO Eldritch Iridescent Violet storm, on a black background and a white one:

And these are super kool Wizardstone wizard dice! from Polyhero dice.

March Scrawlrbox and April

So this is what I have done so far for March's Scrawlrbox 'Enchantress' 

I've inked it since this scan and printed it out on some Mixed Media paper and I have been painting it with watercolours which I know isn't what came in the box but for what I plan I think only watercolours will work.

And this is Aprils Box, the prompt is 'Words of Wisdom' and the print was a very nice typography print, So again I am going to struggle with this one as I absolutely do not do any form of typography and any attempts of Calligraphy have always failed.

So Skulls? lol....

March Scrawlrbox

Yay March's Scrawlrbox arrived last week and I like the look of these supplies, I have already been using the pencil to sketch and write stuff. I don't know how I feel about having a whole range of colours to use, I think I like being restricted to a certain colour pallete. Anyway the prompt is Enchantress so its a person and we all know I cant draw people so I don't know what I will end up drawing.

February Scrawlrbox

I really like the supplies in this box, they seem a bit random but the pens are all felt tips so they work well with being blended. The prompt was Plumage and with the colours in the box I went with a Macaw. Looking on social media it looks like the spectrum noir aquatint pen has different colours, I got moonlight which is yellow so my box essentially had 3 yellow pens. 

Really pleased with how the macaw came out even if the green that I had mixed on the masking tap leaked on to the paper :(

Another year of ScrawlrBoxes

Wow, I feel like that came around fast, I never even worked on my project for last years 1 year of Scrawlrbox. Anyway From Feb 2018 to Jan 2019 here is the last 12 months of boxes:

ScrawlrBox January

So January's Scrawlrbox arrived a little later then usual and you'll notice that I have two of the same pens. There should be a Micron 01 pen and a Sakura pigma brush pen but both pens look the same so I understand how I ended up with a double. Anyway I messaged Scrawlrbox and the missing pen has been shipped out to me. I do like the look of this box, its nice to have markers again and a different brand, unsure on the colours and I've seen on Instagram that there is another set of colours that some people have received: dusty pink, burnt sienna and cinnamon. The prompt is 'growing up' and I have an idea for the prompt but also an idea based on the colours too. 

Sealing Wax

Do you know what 17 kinds of fun? Playing with sealing wax, this is something I've wanted to do for a long time but it doesnt have many modern day applications accept for wedding invites. But I am working on some things for a Dungeons and Dragons campaign and I can finally get to use them!

So yeah I've been having fun and now decided that all my Christmas cards this year will be sealed by my initial lol.
