For #internationaljaguarday!

I really need to draw more jaguars - seems this is the only proper artwork I have of one.

ACEO/playing card sized, done with colored pencils.

Seems BlueSky absolutely butchers the lion tutorial image, so trying again by dividing it up into sections. I want my tutorials to be easily readable, thank you very much.

If there are any niche feline-related subjects you'd like to see a tutorial about, please tell me!

If you see this, show your bird art!

Show me how you draw/paint snow ❄️

This critter is an Anhui musk deer - a very rare sight, both in real life and in artwork!

Still working on drawing a lot of felines for upcoming tutorials / (hopefully) a booklet on how to draw felines.

Have a little teaser, showing lion markings. Considering the spots fade so quickly it is often tricky to see the entire pattern, so here it is in its full glory.

The school I'm working at has a bit of taxidermy in the lab - and how could I resist drawing this magnificent creature?

Hello #PortfolioDay!
I'm an artist from Norway, spending most of my time drawing realistic animals with colored pencils. Occasionally I write art tutorials as well.

Some of those can be found here (for free): ko-fi.com/beckykidus64...

A little male Blackburnian warbler to get back into drawing. One of my favorite birds, which I'd love to see someday!

The drawing is the size of a postcard, making the bird almost life-size.

...And done.

Once again colored pencils on black paper, this time also with some silver and gold ink. A3, probably around 20-25 hours.

It's tutorial time! Saw someone ask about tips on how to add depth to landscapes, and decided to quickly make something showing some of the basics.

I was kind of surprised by just how much the color & saturation changed things.

Think this might be the best promo image I've ever taken.

For those interested: the skull is a young red fox, found outside while hiking.

Final #CardsForConservation card - a bonus red wolf, as someone requested/commissioned it. I can't say no to "I'll buy it if you make it", especially when the money goes to a good cause! Thank you, and thank you to everyone else who has bought cards too ♥️
