QRP with your starry art!

Artfight attack on Sollis00, of his character Vesper. I actually designed this guy, so it was a lot of fun to get to draw him again! #artfight #art #drawing #deer #space

For once, a tutorial that's more art than feline related... This is a topic I'm struggling with myself, so what better way to learn it than to try to teach others? At least, I'm hoping some of you get some use out of it ♥️ #art #tutorial #drawing #arttips

A cheetah tutorial. Not more, not less. #cheetah #tutorial #guide #caturday

Part I, about stripes:

Part II of the tiger tutorial. I'll plop the section about stripes in the comments, so you don't need to hunt around for it. If the image is too small and you can't read the text properly, opening it as a new tab tends to work. #tiger #tutorial #guide

First we take Europe (and Asia, and South America), then we take the rest of the galaxy 💫 An American mink - infamous here for being an invasive species, but I'm still fond of them. "Space Invader", colored pencils (and some silver & gold pen) on black paper. #SciArt #mink #art #drawing #space

Behold, the blynx! Occasionally also known as lynxcat, is a rare but naturally occurring hybrid between a (male) bobcat (Lynx rufus) and a (female) Canada lynx (L. canadensis), appearing where the two species' ranges overlap. (More info below) #SciArt #lynx #cat #drawing #art #coloredpencil

Not sure how active I can be considering I'm travelling quite a bit, but Artfight was good fun last year, and so here we go again. I'll do my best to avenge any attacks!

Here's to all who can stare down the void, knowing you have defeated it before and will defeat it again. "You Cannot Touch Me, For I am My Own Light", colored pencils on black paper, a bit smaller than A4, roughly 2 hours. #art #drawing #coloredpencils

Visited a wildlife park today, and this is the result. (Or, at least, one of the results - they had some very nice foxes too.) More pics, for your enjoyment:

You thought it was a moose calf, but it was me, l e g s

It's #WorldOtterDay? Well, have some otters! Colored pencils, A3, 60 hours. #SciArt #traditionalart #art #drawing #coloredpencil #otter

A horned grebe pair from last year. I knew they were in the area, and was trying to catch a glimpse... only for a pair to appear meters away from me, doing a full courtship display. The drawing wasn't as successful, but I learned some new things, like how this paper isn't great... #SciArt #birdart

The cliffs are still there, the sea is still there, the Falkland Islands wolf not so much. Only in art. And that's why art matters. (Or, you know, at least one of the reasons.) #SciArt #art #traditionalart #drawing #FalklandIslandsWolf #coloredpencils

✨ Quote repost your art that has stars! ✨

If you're interested in drawing feathers, you can find my most recent tutorial here: www.deviantart.com/team/journal... Made some references for it as well, just to show how feathers vary between birds and between different areas of the same bird. All feathers are from my personal collection:

One more for #InternationalLeopardDay - this piece is definitely on the older side now, but still my favorite scratchboard piece... Which probably means I need to do more of those. #SciArt #leopard #scratchboard #traditionalart #art #blackandwhite

It's #InternationalLeopardDay, and an excuse to post one of my favorite leopard drawings. They have some really impressive whiskers! "Yawn of Danger", colored pencils on black paper, 2023. #SciArt #leopard #art #traditionalart #realism #coloredpencil

Finally, the full #PolarLights piece! Have a red-throated diver (or loon, depending on which side of the Atlantic you're on) couple🪶 Please check out the full zine! All proceeds go to Antarctic conservation: polarlightszine.itch.io/polar-lights-4 #SciArt #birdart #traditionalart #loon #nature

Reposting the snow leopard tutorial too now that larger images are allowed. If the text is too small to easily read, right-clicking and opening the image in a new tab seems to solve it for me. #tutorial #snowleopard #cat #art #SciArt

Time for a repost, now that Bluesky finally supports images of this size. The stripes make the tiger, but how do you make the stripes? #tiger #art #tutorial #SciArt #guide

Ever heard of a blue bobcat? Most people know about black leopards or white tigers, but few know just how many different feline color morphs exist. Therefore, behold the full list - or at least what I believe to be the full list as of today 🐾 #SciArt #guide #tutorial #felines #cats

Happy #Earthday! Just an assortment of animals showing the beauty that exists around us. The first step towards taking action is knowing what is at stake, and what better way to show that than through art? #SciArt #traditionalart #drawing #coloredpencil #wildlifeart

Hey artists, if you see this, post a dog

Unsure if I ever shared this one. An older piece by now, but still one of my favorites. Colored pencils, A3. #SciArt #traditionalart #art #deer #coloredpencil

I've been lucky enough to join this project (my first zine contribution!), and I can promise you that it - and the other zines before it - are very much worth those $2. Especially when it goes to a good cause! Bonus sneak peek of my red-throated divers:

I am become Clouded Leopard, Eater of Stars. Aim for the stars, and you might just end up eating them. "Supernova", colored pencils on black paper, 21cmx21cm, 8 hours. Reference by DucoNdona on DeviantArt. #art #caturday #fantasyart #space #cloudedleopard #drawing

Almost done!
