Work in progress. Sometimes I focus on cute to get through the hard days. Would this still qualify for #SciArt ? Wondered before if I’m using the right hashtags or just annoying folks. It’s nature, so…maybe.🤔

Bluespotted Cornetfish (Fistularia commersoni). Inspired to try stippling ✍🏻 after seeing @sarcasticsharkart.bsky.social ’s recent beautiful work. #SciArt #SundayFishSketch 🦑

First day jitters. Trying to be brave. Hoping to do everything right. And maybe make a friend.

- Here’s to all who might feel anxious on their first day. You’re going to be great! 😊 #SciArt 🦑 #sketchbook

🤩 Wow! Excellent job!

I was so freaking excited I practically yelled “We get to do science!” 😃 She looked confused for a moment and then sighed and said “No. no. L a v a t o r y. The restroom.” Broke my little seven year old heart. 😭

When I was a kid we moved mid-year and I had to start at a new school. Before class began the teacher showed me the desks, pointing out things in the room, etc. And then she said “And in a bit I’ll have one of the other students show you the laboratory.” A laboratory! 😃 1/2

Oh my goodness, how adorable! 🥰

Did you know sharks sometimes breach? Yep. They do. #SciArt 🦑 #shark #sketchbook #SundayFishSketch

Oh gosh! How sad. I remember reading Each Peach, Pear, Plum to various little people. Always delighted and produced giggles. Prayers for his loved ones. May he rest in peace.

Lovely! Thanks for sharing your process. Don’t know if you need any , but I noticed last night while cyber window shopping that Blick Art Supplies currently has a special deal on this paper- buy one, get one free. Click on the “deals” tab on the header. HTH. ✍🏻

That moment when you’re munching your salad and someone says you need to eat more veg. 😉

🤔 Tiger Cat Shark?

WIP. Little pilot. Hope aviation fans were able to watch the EAA Airventure air shows that streamed live on their website. Especially the night show. Planes, fireworks and drones, oh my! They did an excellent job on all the shows. #sketchbook #aviation

Bigfin Reef Squid. Graphite on Bristol Smooth paper. #SciArt #SundayFishSketch 🦑

Idiomysis Shrimp. Teeny tiny critter that reminds me a bit of Gonzo in miniature shrimp form. 😁 Not sure I captured it well, but makes me smile nonetheless. Watercolor pencil, micron pen on Bristol Smooth paper. #SciArt 🦑

Cuteness of mice to distract me from …stuff. #sketchbook #SciArt

Port Jackson Shark. From video reference. They have a very unusual mouth. #sharkweek #SciArt 🦑 #sketchbook

Cosmos and pollinator. Bit of beauty from my wildflower patch. 🌱 #wildflower

👏🏻👏🏻

Good grief! Coho Salmon is getting the better of me tonight. Guess this is a multiple day project not a one nighter. Sharing my messy-middle sketch so I don’t give up. Will keep trying. 💪🏻✍🏻

I hear it’s Shark week. 🦈
So… my little contribution to all the sharky art. #SciArt 🦑 #shark #sketchbook

Sketched from a reference photo.

Oh the struggle of taking a good selfie. I think we’ve all taken up_the_nose pics. 📸 😜😂 #sketchbook #SciArt 🦑 #otter

Tiny sketch to cheer me up. And maybe you too. #SciArt 🦑 #otter #sketchbook

Wonderful cover art by Mr. Henkes. 🙂

Oooh! A teaser! Hmmm? 🤔 Not great white, bull shark or even chunky salmon shark. Kinda reminds me of …a shot fin mako? No offense if wrong. Just now learning all the different varieties. And there are a lot of them! 😮 Looking forward to seeing this project finished and discovering which one it is.
