January 2026 Hobonichi


Here’s my belated round-up of January Hobonichi pages – how are we over 2 months into 2026 already!

A drawing of a person in the ocean up to their shoulders. The drawing has a loose and cartoony style, and the person's expression looks uncomfortable and cold. The drawing is labelled "My first polar bear swim! 2026 here we go!"
On this sketchbook page, ink colours bleed together – shades of blue, purple, and green. On top of the blob, the artist sketched a face with pencil crayons
An ink sketch of two characters from the artist's Dungeons and Dragons champaign. Both characters are in profile and looking at each other. The one on the left is a half-orc man with a short haircut. On the right is a woman with a bob hair cut and small horns.
A blue ball point pen drawing of a hand, with a small flame hovering above the palm
A colourful felt pen sketch of a sunset, with the silhouette of a trees and some low buildings in the foreground.
A loose brush pen drawing of a hooded merganser duck – these ducks are black and white and have a big, distinctive crest on their head, and yellow eyes. "This mornings picturesque hooded merganser sighting. Emailed a pic to Grandpa. "lovely hoodie" he called it" is written above the drawing
A simple pencil drawing of stylized trees. The tree in the foreground is darker, and trees farther back are fainter. The caption reads "It was really foggy for a week straight"
A stylized drawing of a person with her head in her hands. Her hands are over her eyes, and one eye showing beneath spread fingers. The drawing is done in dark blue coloured pencil with a wash of dark purple ink below. The caption reads "So much bad news"
A drawing of two spirals, one blue and one green. They take up the whole page and overlap. They're captioned: Tired! But making myself sit down and draw SOMETHING!!!
