Catober 07 "Lamp" & Catober 8 "Make-Up"

I already used candle as a lantern so I thought: back-up plan, shadow puppets!

For "make-up" my excuse is I have been a sailor moon nerd my whole life and I had to XD

Talamanca Hummingbird from the May #BirdWhisperer

I was really excited by the composition of the photo so I chose to focus on those shapes first and foremost.

I really like the light greens of the plants growing on the stump vs the background, it really pleases me

Days 5 & 6 of #Catober

The original plan for day 5 was a cat chewing on a houseplant, but that behavior kept looking real uncanny valley for a cat that acts like a person so I went with plan B.

The kitten doodling makes me so happy :3

After drawing the teeny Hikaru I was SO amped to do some teeny Uzumaki girls. What can I say, I love getting to do cute horrors.

Happy October! Y'all know me, I don't pass up an excuse to draw something everyday in October if I can help it.

I'm working off of Isabee's #Catober prompt list with a muji gel pen and a tiny square sketchbook.

Day 01: Clouds & Day 02: Game

A black and white drawing of a bluejay looking to the right. A pattern is used in place of the normal blue or dark grey tones of the bird. There is also some hatching on the belly.

Day 30/the finale for this year's #Sharktember: a nurse shark against some fall foliage.

The colors in this one really sing in my opinion and I'm so happy with how this one turned out. Thanks for following along with me this year :)

Thank you! This year's sharks have been a strong collection 😎

I was thinking of some stickers and maybe a print of this finale shark? I'm open to suggestions 🦈

Catching up posting my sharks! Days 25-29 of #Sharktember

Apple picker shark, spring cleaning shark, new year sharks, back to school sharks, and a birthday shark! Birthdays aren't associated with a season but mine is in the spring so I'm claiming it for springtime ;)
