A sketchy painting of a peregrine falcon on its back, legs in the air. The painting is accompanied by cute sketches of the bird sitting and starting to get blown over by wind.

Two paintings from tonight! The chat demanded i add a little guy to each of them.
Painting of a forest creek. A capybara sits at its coast contemplating life. A very rocky shoreline with water at the top of the picture trickling down. A white shorebird flies above the boulders.

A lovely portrait I did for Oblivions on patreon. This was worked on for two hours over three sessions.
You can see the sessions/the progression in the reply!

New character that's just me :"D He's just a guy! The hardest part was picking what birds to color him as tbh, i love them all

#art #fursona
A reference sheet for a character. Text reads, "Just a Guy. He's just shaped like this. He can be any IRL bird color." There are many doodle-style drawings of the same character in different colors of bird.

American Crow with a Shortleaf Pine.

Third installment in my native bird and plant series. This one was a bit difficult and I'm still not totally satisfied, but being done is better than sitting in the drafts forever!

Black-crowned night heron (Nycticorax nycticorax) a bird with a black shiny crown, white eye ring, red eyes and black iris. White cheek, throat and wings with shades of greys. Black bill with a highlight of white at the tip of the upper mandible. Leaves in the foreground with black stripes like patterns with white highlights. Blurr background with black fading patterns. Made few grey toned papers few months back. The process making my own grey toned paper was interesting and a good learning experience. One can make cool greys or warm greys, depending on one's own preference. I get to watch these birds in the middle of the city and at one of the common visited parks in Bangalore. Cubbon Park is centrally located and one of the most visited park how these birds have adapted to urbanization is amazing. Title: Night Heron Study!

The Fiery-billed Aracari painting. Because the patio feeder was very close to the apt these guys rarely made an appearance but when they did it was definitely a good day.

You too can be an expert on how to kind of know what a sika deer (Cervus nippon) is!

I forgot to include a slide about female sika so let's just pretend it was intentional. #art #deer
Text reads, "Deertush's silly guide to identifying animals: sika deer (cervus nippon)" Two pictures of deer are below the text. And arrow points at the deer with text saying, "Puppies disguised as deer" Text reads, "These are both sika deer! Good luck." Two pictures of very different looking deer are next to each other beneath the text. One deer is slim and light brown. The other is fluffy with dark fur. Text reads, " Colors can vary regardless of fur length. yay..." Four drawings of sika deer stand next to each other. Each deer is a different color with different fur length. Text reads, " Fluffy stags can be brown too. Dark sikas can have spots. Brown sikas won't always have spots." Text reads, "Sika deer can be found in east asia! This is their native habitat." A map of east asia is highlighted in green. Three other maps (The USA, Australia, and Europe) are also highlighted with text reading, "and here.. and here.... and here..."

Mottled wood owl (Strix ocellata) perched on "Y" shaped tree branch with lots of leave and foliage. Bird is depicted in black and white with charcoal on paper. Another charcoal study work for the Owls of India book project! Mottled wood owl(Strix ocellata)! Mottled wood owl(Strix ocellata) from Bangalore, Karnataka, India There was a sighting of them in a Botanical garden inside Bangalore, I missed that chance dearly, because of personal reasons in 2016/2018. Search for this owl took me to the jungles of Western and Central India however, they eluded me for many years. Most photographers, who were not interested in birds, saw them during their break time from watching the striped cat or the stripe-less cat. (Namely Panthera tigris and Panthera leo persica) After searching for few years to get a proper glimpse of them, few months back. I got to spend ample time with this owl on the outskirts of Bangalore. What more, got to watch two juveniles and an adult during the day. Words can’t express my excitement, glad to have seen them in Bangalore. Hoping the young ones made it to their first year safely! Had stopped working with charcoal for years, picked them up for one of my recent online workshop. What was a study for a painting developed into a therapy of sorts. Enjoyed working on the foliage, which took me more time than the bird itself. Working with charcoal after many years, it was challenging in the beginning however in couple of days I got test its pros and cons. Working from free hand sketches rather than tracing from photographs was also an exceptional learning experience. Title: Mottled wood owl study!
