Green-tailed Sunbird for July’s #BirdWhisperer I keep using these for watercolor practice (I should just make more between each entry 😅) #birds #art #watercolour
Most likely my favourite task at work lately was designing catchable fish (and bugs, which I will post another time) 😄
I didn't completely forget about #BirdWhisperer ! I messed up on the bottom, alas I still have a lot to learn about watercolor 😃
I'm hopefully crawling out of the drawing rut that affected me these past weeks. Spent the long weekend in the Alps for a watercolor workshop. Plein air and landscapes are both very out of my comfort zone... it's been interesting and fun!
It's the same in Verona (northeast Italy), the whole downtown is paved with countless ammonites, it's so cool! I just learnt looking up a picture it's called red ammonite marble (ammonitico rosso)
Beipiaosaurus + sinosauropteryx (which should be smaller I think) Why does China have the best dinosaurs
My partner just unwrapped this sketchbook he got in a shop in Shanghai where we got some random art supplies and... It has a handle?? Why? And why do I love it?
Therizinosaurus, for the sake of keeping up random drawings on my tablet instead of doomscrolling. I had no idea what colors to use, then I remembered my favourite illustration of them (the one in All Yesterdays) has them black. Very convenient since I was out of time anyway 😅
Some quick (no ref) Yutyrannus. I really wanted to give it fluffy feet like a ptarmigan
I was at dinner with friends who had been talking about actors for an hour, I felt like this 🤣
A firecrest (Regulus ignicapilla) on some rocks. I'm definitely feeling more confident with watercolors lately, I'll probably just end up being overconfident and screw up the next one XD
I actually did several sketches before (quick studies of other people's renderings included, + couple entelodons)
also Andrewsarchus. I need to learn how to make it more pig/hippo-like :| but I sort of like how there's a kind of tacit consent in most images to make it this range of colors
