Warbler with imagined coloring aka I felt like using markers

Marker drawing of a warbler in side view. The bird is facing the left of the screen standing on the ground. It’s colored in a variety of grays and probably doesn’t correspond to an actual species

Made a thing. It took three months and I only had to remake two parts. Based on a design from Chris Schwarz/ Lost Art Press #stickchair #bullshitchair #lostartpress
Front view of a Windsor chair painted yellow on a city sidewalk. Side view of the same chair from eye level. You can see the back angle better as well as the jaunty front leg

Still struggling with inspiration and motivation, and working my way through a list of d&d monsters the kiddo requested in the meantime. This wyvern is 7th of the twelve he asked for
Unfinished pencil portrait of a wyvern from the front. It has a broad face and narrow eyes. I still don’t understand the difference between a wyvern and a dragon

Me discovering Butlerian Jihad is a Dune thing and not a Judith Butler thing:
A curvy old fairy dancing with her eyes closed. She is up on her toes on one leg with her other knee raised. She has white hair peeking out from a blue bandana with white polka dots. She is holding a star tipped wand in front of a red and orange striped shirt. Her outer wings are red and fade to orange and yellow closer to her body. I haven’t drawn a background yet

Quick sketches while waiting for an event to start. Trying to draw something anime like without references

Green heron gallery, non-songbirds are still a struggle

#art #drawing #bird #birds #sketch #sketchbook #greenheron
Pencil drawing of a green heron from behind. The bird is walking and looking to its right. Pencil drawing of a green heron from below. It’s perched on something invisible I guess?
