It’s been a while since I last posted as I have been having problems with my eyes. But I managed to paint this little fella - slowly and over many days - in Procreate. I hope you like him.

This is a drawing of a barn owl that was done in Procreate with an Apple Pencil. It has the look and feel of a pastel drawing and is done in a realistic style.

A colorful little design for you today, inspired by a recent trip to the Yorkshire Dales.
A design featuring oyster catchers on a wavy blue/green background.

They are digital brushes that have a very real watercolor feel. I purchased them separately for use with Procreate. I highly recommend them if you’re after a realistic watercolor look.

Right? Got a group of them coming round this afternoon. Good excuse for crumpets.

Today I give you… The Lesser Snostrich

(Field Notes in ALT text)

Painted in Procreate with AquaReal Brushes
Lesser Snostrich (Gastropoda Struthio) Head and body 5 feet; shell 4 feet. Feathered foot, long neck, conch and calcium carbonate shell. Whirl size increases as Snostrich ages. Sounds: a variety of chirps, hisses, growls and honks. Behavior: although mostly solitary animals, snostriches will gather in large groups for high tea at around 4pm daily. If entertaining a group of snostrich in your own home be sure to have plenty of Earl Gray Tea on hand, and a good supply of mini cucumber sandwiches. Crumpets are also a good option.

I’m conflicted too! I keep thinking, this one for sure, then I look at the other and I think, no, this one - haha.
