Things are getting sketchy and scribbly while I try to finish this out before the month is over. 😂
Day 19: oil slick
Day 20: split-complementary color palette
Day 21: rainbow eucalyptus

#aprilcolors2025 Day 18: portal or gateway
Thought about doing the game Portal, but I did just recently draw with blue and orange.

Day 17: Icky colors.
This would obviously be subjective to each person, but even though I tried to make really gross colors, this is a pretty cute Titicaca water frog. 🐸
Acrylic paint this time, instead of color pencils.

Day 16: Use two colors only.
I love my little bee checking in on the hive. 🐝

Way behind, but excited to catch up.
April colors day 14: warning coloration. This cutie is a Chromodoris willani nudibranch.
Day 15: scarlet cup fungus (or elf cup)

April Colors, Day 13: green light source
I don't feel bad for being behind, the artist who made the prompts is as well. 💚 #aprilcolors2025

#aprilcolors Day 12: patina
Went on a "snake bite - copper - ankh" research rabbit hole recently, so this felt like a perfect subject.

Day 11: Warm shadows
This is my first self portrait in a long time. 👽

April Colors Day 10:
Colors inspired by your favorite junk food.
I thought about choosing Gushers, but that would just be a rainbow. So, here's my cat as Cooler Ranch, specifically Doritos brand from the 90's.

Day 9: Basket Stinkhorn
Being able to accurately draw things in nature is a skill I'm working on, as a nod back to biologists like Ernst Haeckel. This dang fungus is a pain to draw, but I take it as a challenge, something to improve upon.

Day 7: Fireside lighting
Day 8: Toco Toucan (I chose a leucistic one)

Had a lot of fun with these.
Day 5: Bird of Paradise
Day 6: Slimy

Day 3: Analogous color palette
Day 4: Aerial/Atmospheric perspective
I'm just using color pencils right now, hoping to get some painting in for fun textures.

#aprilcolors2025 Day 2: Pitted Texture

I used a leather stamp and pressed it into the paper before drawing on it.

I felt inspired by this art challenge from Faunwood on Instagram. Really excited to play with color every day. Forgot to post about it here!
Day 1: Chameleon
