Some birds from an Avian August challenge that I decided to start tackling on another app.

A Green-tailed Sunbird for an art challenge. Colored pencil and a little bit of alcohol marker for the background in my Stillman and Birn sketchbook.

The first few pages from my first watercolor sketchbook. I have been wanting to get into watercolor for years and have been working with it now for a few weeks. I am currently on a break from drawing (my brain won't let me focus on it at the moment). They have a bird challenge coming up here soon for August on Bluesky, so I will be getting back into my sketchbooks soon enough.

My latest jellyfish study. I'm really happy to have gotten over my trepidation with watercolor because I am enjoying my time with it.

Advice is always appreciated especially being newly introduced to watercolor. Wasn't looking to learn anything specific while doing this one, just general practice with layering and transparency. A friend does now want her own jellyfish painting, so it's a win there.

Some late night sketchbook practice. Practicing shading with watercolor as well as work on proportion. I''m satisfied with it. If this is where I'm starting with watercolor I am more than happy. I think the worst thing so far is I'm not giving some layers time to dry and I'm definitely playing it safe with color mixing.

Just finished and I'm torn on this one. Something is off, it's either the initial drawing or my watercolor work...or both

Was practicing with watercolor and painted a timid little guy

About 5 days into using watercolor, this is my intro page to my first watercolor sketchbook! Thought he was cute enough to share.
