Pencil art

This was a stylized drawing inspired by a rehabbed snowy owl who was finally ready to be released.

Digital art work

Digital drawing of a red tail hawk and the signature trail feathers.

This was painted shortly after the peregrine painting. The peregrine was given to a raffle, and the winner of that painting purchased this one when it was finished.

Messing around with very mixed media. Pen, pencil, color pencil, colored sharpies, brush pen and acrylic pen. Just threw everything within arms reach at it lol.

I know that this has a LOT of problems! I've quickly discovered that before I draw any more houses, I need to figure out perspektive... 1-point-perspektive? Elevation drawing? A mixture of both? I've looked at some tutorials and I've already started on a new drawing, but I think it will take some practise.

I wax specific areas (paint with wax) and light from the back...in the end it will be in a glass frame to hang in a window....tben the waxed areas will glow!!!

Squirrel flights are very impressive. The acrobatic displays of predator and prey are something to behold.

This is day 66 in the 100 Day Projekt. My theme: learn something new every. At the moment, I'm trying to improve my watercolor skills and especially line and wash.

I don't know how to explain properly this one. I wanted to display the universe and the characters at the same time (well, again) . Actually if you look closer you will notice the bench is in the movement, but the space is really big that it looks like a room and.. well anyways all im saying I got that sense of atmosphere not exactly in the way I originally wanted. I used highly contrasted orange for the feel of pollution and high temperature in the air. Well I don't know there's a lot I can share about this piece, but I would love to hear some of your opinions. Thanks!

Have been following the tutorials from draw with Shiba on YouTube. They're not as great as his. But I do like the way they came out.

I got some comments from the last uploads and it gave me motivation to upload more. For some of you who are interested in my work you can visit my instagram page, im more active there. ( I really really hate promoting myself like this, but I struggle to build a community of artists, so im trying every way possible) But anyways. I forced myself to draw this one when I had a really bad artblock. So I think i came up with the most mainstream scene possible. I wanted here to create more comfortable, kinda welcoming atmosphere, but I didn't do that properly In my opinion. I ended up with something completely else. In my head I had a scene where the two characters (the girl with the poncho and blonde guy (I can't come up with their names yet)) after a not the best trip, were welcomed by their old friend in her house, for some break and calm hour.
