Oryx, And Happy New Year!

Here's an oryx I drew from a screencap I took while watching the livestream at the watering hole on the Namibia Cam:

Its a lot of fun to watch.

 

Do I have any new year's resolutions?

No.

I resolved everything I was gonna resolve earlier in the year, so I'm gonna just keep tryna do everything I've been tryin to do.

The good news is I've been doing more artwork lately so that probably means more artwork in the year to come.

So for 2024 may God bless you, good luck, and remember to vote for Trump!
 

Merry Christmas!

 

I'd like to wish everyone a Merry, jolly or otherwise enjoyable Christmas.  And also here's another drawing done with those Kuretake brush markers.  Its a just a bit of crumbling wall drawn from my imagination but its good to experiment with different materials and styles and this was sorta fun.

Giant Bees - Or Tiny Rabbits?

I finished another watercolor.  It feels good to finish things like this. :)

More Yak-posting

I like drawing yaks. I've been using Kuretake brush markers for the color ones like in the bottom picture.  The top one is just drawn in with a Micron pen and I'm planning to color it.  I haven't decided if I want to color it with the markers or use watercolor.  The good thing is I always print my designs out before coloring them so I can always do it again if I don't like it.

Yakitty-Yak!

 

Here's a couple of yaks I've drawn recently.  I like drawing things with lots of fur.

Here's the reference images:

There isn't really a vast supply of free stock images of yaks on the internet but it sure beats trying to find photos of wooly mammoths.  There's a fair amount of paintings and renderings and skeletons out there but they are somewhat hampered by the fact that they aren't around anymore.

Squiggle With Bird And Snake

 

Another design.  I did the math and every design I finish takes me another 1/32nd or 3.125% of the way to having enough designs for the next coloring book.  So I'm already at 6.25%, yay!

Piggy Pig

 

I'm not boaring you am I?
