My daughter took a pic of a collared owlet in Taiwan and gave me permission to paint him. I love how he turned out!

Ravens, Wolves, and Oaks

I've never used sepia conté crayons before. What do you guys think of the color combo? I might experiment more with sepia and black conté crayons... we shall see.

This is another sketch I did before going to sleep, so I only put things I find comforting in it. I love the lacy branches of bare oak trees in winter.

Media: conté crayons in sepia and black, with Wolff's carbon pencil (my favorite kind of charcoal pencil - "wolff's" is really fitting considering the subject matter.)

My friend took a picture and let me paint it. I love the shadows! I think it is a blue jay? Female perhaps?🤔

I painted my friend during our blizzard. Do they look Wise or high? What do you think?

Waking up everyday from 2016-2020 not knowing what the hell happened while I slept was horrible.

A little kitty and a tit. The background came out ok but was so frustrating. Artists in you tube always say use more water - but that seems to mess it up not improve it. Sigh.
