reintroduction

Hi I'm Ligus,

I'm a traditional artist from Berlin.
#SundayFishSketch made me start painting again and I fell in love with fish and marine biology.
I'm also trying to boost other #sciart .
Sometimes there will be some dog and crow posts ;)

Oil painting before I stopped painting again.
Giant "floating" shark behind people who are just walking or cycling.
All those people are from science history (besides the silver ants lol)

Red necked grebe commission
They are sitting on their nest. On their back is one chick, the other is hiding behind them.

Right?! And even in warm waters "chonky" is a better shape for swimming ... less water resistance 🤷🏻

Little Halloween sketch.

Apparently, painting nipples was the biggest horror for the app 🙄

#inktober 🎃🧜‍♀️

A watercolour/ink sketch of a mermaid.
She is sitting on a stone with part of her red fish tail in the water. the background is dark blue. She is smiling at the glowing human skull she is holding in one hand.
She has very wide hips and small breasts (censored with a black bar).

Just makes sense 🤷🏻🧜‍♀️

A little spooky sketch for the season 🎃.

(I never understood skinny mermaids. Should their shape not resemble more a seal or a dugong?)
