About

Creating weird art, illustrations, and indie books—

 

 

Why, Hello There…

My name is Sarah Cuthill, and I am the lone paintbrush behind Ursa Ink. I am a freelance artist based in the historic Gold Rush county of Calaveras in Northern California.

I spend most of my time painting, pursuing personal projects I’m passionate about, and teaching art in grade schools. As a mercurial creature, I like to do lots of different things so you may see everything from books in progress and snail mail adventures— to digital art prints and stickers.

What I’m Doing…

I am making the art that I’m crazy about: fantasy, urban fantasy, a dash of horror, and sometimes just weird stuff. My current big project is to build up my portfolio with examples of book cover art.

My art is made possible entirely by the continuing support of my amazing patrons! Thank you all for joining me on this journey.

I am sketching out some creatures for my Mythic Mail book and I really liked this one. It is the Japanese bakeneko shapeshifter cat with a napkin on her head. Join my Patre🖤n for all the behind the scenes stuff!

Do you ever feel like you have 50 hamsters trying Do you ever feel like you have  50 hamsters trying to run on the same wheel in your mind? (Do other languages have that same saying?) I am currently working on 4 big projects and it’s hard to ration out equal time to each AND feed the algorithms. I see my fellow artists nodding their heads. 😉

Two things I am constantly reminding myself of is Two things I am constantly reminding myself of is that sketchbooks don’t need to be perfect, and that not every drawing needs to become a finished piece. I happen to like this pose so I may do something with it, but it’s nice to give yourself the leniency to simply create with no expectations.

Marker portraits are my new favorite brain break. Marker portraits are my new favorite brain break. 5-10 minutes to sketch and then about 20 to experiment with colors.

Where my Muse at?!?! I have my basic pose sketches Where my Muse at?!?! I have my basic pose sketches set for my next Zodiac Muse... who’s it gunna be? I have a few people interested but unsure. Remember that you will be a “muse”. So it won’t look exactly like you, and more than that, you’re gorgeous the way you are. Let go of those insecurities. 💜😘💜

Ursa is traveling to a whole new country for Mythi Ursa is traveling to a whole new country for Mythic Mail next month. I’m loving my steady accumulation of illustrations of weird creatures since starting this project in October. And now I’m working on a Mythic Mail book! So that’s a fun thing my Patrons are cheering me on for behind the scenes. We’re thinking 40 pages ish of mythical letters and postcards. 🖤✨🖤

I actually don’t have as many as I feel I *need*... but I wanted to give my Ohuhu flesh tone set on its own. I think they need some more purple-brown tones for darker skin and some better mid tones. But overall a nice set.
