Day 23 of #birbfest2026 with the Nuthatch. I ended up drawing 3 of them, he's a cute little birb. #art #sketchbook #illustration #birds #wildlife #sciart

Day 22 of #birbfest2026 with the Galah Cockatoo. I feel like my birds are getting progressively worse, but I'm also not sure what direction I want to go with them like whether I do more detail for the feathers or go for less detail #birds #art #sciart #sketchbook #illustration #wildlife

Day 21 of #birbfest2026 with the Ornate fruit dove. The Pelican was yesterday's birb. #birds #sciart #wildlife #art #illustration #sketchbook

Day 19 of #birbfest2026 with a Red-legged seriema. I did this one 3 times as I really wasn't liking the result, and then got distracted by drawing a snake after reading that these birds don't really like snakes. #birds #wildlife #sciart #illustration #sketchbook #art

Wasn't going to do anything Halloween this year, but was watching Trick 'r Treat and changed my mind. Happy Halloween! Rubens oil on canvas #art #artist #oil #traditionalart #fanart #illustration #painting #blueskyart #Halloween

Back at it with a progress pic of another pet portrait, but a doggo this time, Frankie. Paul Rubens oil on canvas #art #artist #oil #illustration #traditionalart #portrait #dog

Finished the Labyrinth fanart. Not too sure what I'll do next or what sketchbook I'll want to be in, we shall see... #art #illustration #artist #sketchbook #traditionalart #coloredpencil #Labyrinth Prismacolor Verithin and Nano Dia lead in a Paperblanks A4 journal

In progress-some more fanart, this time from Labyrinth, the two door riddle. Just playing with the new leads and colored pencils I've acquired recently. #art #fanart #artist #illustration #Labyrinth Paperblanks Morris Windrush A4 journal-Nano Dia color leads-Prismacolor Verithin colored pencils

I have been SLACKING when it comes to my art lately. I did start back up on my daily sketching last night with some Yoda fanart, may do more fanart tonight, haven't decided yet #art #illustration #fanart #starwars #sketchbook #yoda Nano Dia lead and Verithin pencils in a Paperblanks A4 journal

Got a mini art supply haul in with a few different leads to try out. Here is a tryout page. Will do something more in depth later. Paperblanks Lang's Fairy Book A4 journal with Pilot Color Eno and Nano Dia color leads #art #artist #traditionalart #pencil #illustration #sketchbook #drawing

The angel is one of the many statues on Ponte Sant'Angelo in Rome, Italy. I'm really enjoying these studies and just sketching again. Blue and pink Kuru Toga mechanical pencils in a Paperblanks Lang's Fairy Book journal #art #illustration #artist #sketchbook #traditional #traditionalart #pencil

Did a couple more studies of statues and will more than likely be doing a couple more tonight. Something about this journal makes me want to draw in it. Prismacolor Col-Erase colored pencils in a Paperblanks Lang's Fairy Journal #art #artist #sketchbook #statuary #traditionalart #coloredpencils

Visited Mackinaw Island this weekend and found a journal that I turned into a sketchbook. This is the first page, some studies of David. Uni Kuru Toga blue pencil in a Paperblanks Lang's Fairy Book journal. #art #artist #sketchbook #illustration #traditionalart #pencil

Finished up the latest drawing. Time for some insects next. #art #artwork #illustration #sketchbook #traditionalart #coloredpencils Prismacolor premiere colored pencils with a white Posca pen in a Stillman and Birn Zeta sketchbook

Still in progress with this. I'm torn with what to do on the bottom half, have a couple of ideas, and seeing which one sticks. I'm doing more bugs next, that's for sure... #art #artwork #illustration #gardeningfeed #sketchbook Prismacolor premiere colored pencils in Stillman and Birn sketchbook

Currently in progress in my Gardens sketchbook. Coloring this is gonna be fun. #art #sketchbook #garden #artwork #illustration #artist Kuru Toga pink pencil in a Stillman and Birn Zeta sketchbook

Took me a few days, but finished the Adam and Eve scene. If this is where my starting line is for scenes in my style, I am good with it. I do have some work to do on faces, hands, and feet, though, but I am definitely looking forward to doing more. #art #artwork #artist #illustration #sketchbook

I've been working on this for a couple days now and in the underdrawing phase. Definitely need to work on faces, hands, and feet. Inspiration came from Adam and Eve statues by Bandinelli circa 1550. I'm very nervous about adding color to this one. #art #artwork #sketchbook #artist #traditionalart

Some quick sketches I did to cover up pages with bleed thru from using alcohol markers. Prismacolor premiere pencils with Crayola Supertip markers in a Stillman and Birn Zeta sketchbook #art #illustration #goat #snake #wildlife #sketch #sketchbook

A friend snapped some pics of a frog yesterday, so I figured I would get some colored pencil practice in and attempt some frog doodles. Prismacolor premiere colored pencils and a white Posca pen #art #sciart #amphibians #frogs #treefrog #illustration

Darkened up the one goat I posted earlier, and then did a thing. Now, I want to become a pro at pop-up sketchbooks. #art #illustration

I decided it's time to figure out how to draw fur/hair, so I figured I would do a movie reference with some goats. If anybody sees this and has tips for fur, feel free to leave me a comment!! Uni Kuru Toga mechanical pencil on Bristol paper. #art #illustration #drawings #sciart

Did a last quick drawing of a couple of beetles for #InverteFest Ohuhu alcohol markers with Prismacolor premiere colored pencils in a Stillman and Birn Zeta sketchbook #art #invertebrate #bug #bugsky #sciart

Decided to switch gears from what I've been posting. When I'm not sure what to draw, I will draw a bunch of pokemon-they are usually simple, cute shapes, so good for practice. Prismacolor premiere and Faber-Castell polychromos colored pencils on Bristol paper #art #pokemon #artwork #illustration

Was going to post this yesterday for #InverteFest, but I decided to do a spread, so it took me an extra day. Ohuhu markers with Faber-Castell polychromos in a Stillman and Birn Zeta sketchbook #art #insect #bug #bugsky #invertebrates

A couple more bug doodles for #InverteFest! Will be starting on another post for tomorrow here shortly. All I know is that bugs get weirder the more you look at them. Ohuhu alcohol markers with Faber-Castell polychromos in a Stillman and Birn Zeta sketchbook. #art #sciart #bugs #bugsky #insect
