Help it's again

Happy #PortfolioDay!

I'm Christine, I'm an animal fantasy and wildlife illustrator and Environmental Conservation student.

I do a lot of digital art but I'm branching into gouache and loving it ;)

See more of my work and my commission sheet: linktr.ee.com/skidarstudios

I little thought I could ever presume to claim any kind of kinship with Darwin, but here we are. 😁

Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together.

I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

Drawing. Someone off-screen asks: "How can you be a trans woman and a lesbian? Doesn’t that make you straight?" Trans woman with long hair and painted nails, wearing a beanie, a tank top, shirt and hotpants: "None of the women dating this are straight!!"

Waseem asked me to post this picture of his son Tim today, who had his 3rd birthday recently. The majority of this little boy's life has been taken up with fleeing from bombs, enduring life in a tent. But I'm struck by how happy he looks in spite of it all.

Very slowly starting to draw after a week of babying my shoulder. I'm just happy it feels well enough to draw at all but I still can't push it too far. It's the next day and it aches x.x
