Had to take a hiatus from drawing due to shoulder injury but back at now.
Drew these guys last night with pastels and colored pencils. 🪲🐞

Crocheted a ferret following a pattern from ComplicatedKnots on YouTube and my cat promptly claimed it as her new companion.

Combining creatures to make new dragons. This is some weird red-eyed tree frog/ salamander dragon hybrid.

Playing around with a more loose sketch using pens and watercolor brushes.

Derpy little lizard dragon 💚

Some quick sketches I did last night with watercolor brushes. Adding to the baby dragons I have been drawing.

All of these scaly looking flowers I have been drawing made me think of dragon eggs.

Sooo of course I had to draw a cute baby dragon sitting in a flower 😍

Spent the last few weeks painting armored animals… putting that knowledge to good use by now painting the ginger flowers we have in Costa Rica that remind me of scales/armor.

Trying to paint florals again.

Thanks! 🦀

Not sure why I keep drawing these little armored critters lately.
Well, they are a lot of fun!
Added an armadillo. First time drawing one. Will probably draw many more!

Pangolin drawn with acrylic markers, watercolor brush pens, and colored pencils.

Didn’t draw the last 2 days due to pain in my shoulder and neck. Last night I was finally feeling better and quickly drew this guy.

I think it’s my best pangolin yet. 🧡

Day 13 of #worldwatercolormonth I did a mixed media cartoonish version of the Vampire crab. Second photo is the reference.

All my tiny paintings for week 2 of #worldwatercolormonth. Some I love, some I don’t. But they’ve all given me something more to work on.

Day 11 of #worldwatercolormonth. Sometimes I just enjoy painting cute/silly things. Kids have been watching KPop Demon Hunters and I had the soda pop song in my head. 😝

Some quick flower practice.

Heating things up for day 10 of #worldwatercolormonth with 3 peppers painted with different mediums. Which is your favorite? Gouache, watercolor, or pastels?

I think I prefer the gouache (6/100)

One of these days I will stop painting frogs… but today is not that day. 🐸

Day 9 of #WorldWatercolorMonth. Added 2 more tiny paintings to the growing collection. Flowers are done in gouache. The turtle is watercolor and gouache.

2 tiny paintings for day 8 of #worldwatercolormonth. One in watercolors and the other in gouache.

Did a quick value study with my pastels. My values were definitely off in the top paintings. Now I know what to work on tomorrow 🫡

#worldwatercolormonth #traditionalart #art #kidlitart

Sometimes you like the your landscape paintings and sometimes you don’t.

These are a DON’T 😅
Kept trying to “fix” it and adding more. Should have left it alone. Oh well. Will try again tomorrow!

Thanks! The water was the only part I was really happy with. Up close I can see all the things I need to improve with the foliage.
