This is a graphite pencil drawing of a hunting hawk somewhat loosely based on a photo. The reference photo is from: Birds of Prey by Paul D. Frost (Paragon Books Ltd 2006) and credited to Martin B Withers/FLPA. I found the book in the Goodwill a couple of month ago and was much inspired by the beautiful photographs.

Highly successful elephant and rat cross breeding.

All Done! I’m pretty happy with how it turned out, but a few of the proportions are way off... but oh well. And I absolutely suck at manes(hair) soooo ya. Also I was curious, I’m thinking about getting some prints made of my artwork to sell, do any of you think you or someone you know would be interested in prints? Just curious, thanks! Hope you all are healthy and well! Photo by: Photography by Kelly and Kelly

The beautiful Zeta. A Springerpoo! Drawn with 0.03 and 0.05 fineliners.

This is my latest project as of March 15th. It was a request from my cousin. It is based off his original photograph. As you can see, i’m just putting the base shade on it. I’ll have to add the details of the fur after the shading is dark enough

The Whooping Crane is an endangered species due to human activity. It is the tallest bird in North America.

This elderly octopus is insane with the feeling of love.

Birds perch on their octopus friend’s limbs.

This is what i’m trying to draw but I rushed it and the horse is way out of proportion so i’m restarting it. But here is what it’s mostly going to look like. It’s a big 18 x 24in drawing,

I find backgrounds in paintings challenging so I deliberately tried to make a more complex background with this one. I sometimes have difficulty deciding when to finish and in this case maybe I overworked the background a bit too much. Still, I feel I learned a lot from the process.

This cool frog monster is a master inventor. Here he is riding through town on his homemade motorcycle.

I am not sure which kind of monkey this guy is...he seems to be in the Golden Monkey species. This is another "digital" monkey.

Strange creatures of their respective planets meet on a new fruitful planet to create a peaceful community.

I am trying to work on a more loose style. Again, this was made in Corel Painter.

Sea Turtle...and Peppa Pig. This drawing was a gift for a friend of mine who loves Peppa. When I gave it to her, she saw Peppa after looking for only about three seconds. I couldn't believe it.

Made with Corel Painter. I'm trying out a more loose, imaginative style.

Quick sketch with ink and watercolors, A5 size.

Finally finished this big drawing

I am continuing to try to paint without outlining in pen first - just starting with a pencil sketch. I used this awesome photo as reference: https://www.pexels.com/photo/chimpanzee-sitting-on-gray-stone-in-closeup-photography-during-daytime-33787/

My next monkey watercolor -well, mostly - there is a touch of acrylic paint on the eyes. I do not know why they are called red-handed - since they seem to have yellow hands.
