A grey, brown, and orange bird stands and sings over his shoulder. He has been described as "really cute"

Okay, this one has much simpler shapes! And i think I'm getting better at the proportions. 😁 The whole face should be pink, but i messed that up by trying to add shadows and there was no going back! 😅

Used this lil fellow for some #watercolor #marker #practice. I find the feathers that are just grey and black super hard to do to my liking...

Can't seem to get the proportions exactly down, but here are a few more iterations on the #design. Gonna experiment some more with simpler lines somehow? Maybe? Any advice out there

A little #wip (can you tell what it is?) and a new attempt at a tree design inspired by ballman's tree i quote-posted earlier.

I can't get the tree to be more 3D with my skills! 😅😁

A few more ideas. Just trying to iterate to see what hits me the most.

#watercolor #marker #design #weird #art
A heart...tree? The left half of the heart is pink and the right half is blue, both growing out of a purple stump. The letter k is at the center of the heart. A tree made of twisted shapes next to a heart inside of ?? I don't even know man. Tails? A blue heart with purple and pink rips showing through it is accompanied by some weird tails The letter k drawn out a couple times in odd styles

Little doodles and iterations on a design i did that I'm hoping to get embroidered on a vest of mine.

Plus a little bonus for @nachi0707.bsky.social where i was practicing her calligraphy for me. 😊

#watercolor #marker #art #practice #design
Several different transitions of trees with twisty branches in purple, pink, and blue. Plus a plump little hummingbird in purple and pink. Plus a signature of Kannon in the bottom left corner.

My first ever finished watercolor! Doesn't have a name yet but i wanted to submit it for the #blueskyartshow theme of #inside.

#watercolor #marker #art #bskyart #dragonfly #dragon

Not exactly what i had in my mind, but it's so hard to do that! Pretty happy with how it turned out. 😊

A bit of #watercolor #marker #practice for a dragonfly piece that I'm trying to do for this Saturday's #art show.

The truth is I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out and I'm very nervous I'm going to ruin it or not know when to stop! 😅😅😊

I also want to think of a name.

Close-up of this little #bird dude whom I've come to really like. I'm really trying to work on layers, water control, and learning different techniques through experimenting.

I literally keep making the same mistake that's making black bleed everywhere! 😭😋

A watercolor of a common grackle with an accidental mohawk. That happened due to lack of water control... In a separate panel.

Whoops! Accidentally gave my common grackle a probably uncommon mohawk (mo-grackle?), so now he doesn't care what any of us think of him.

Forced myself to just do something, anything, to get that angel page full of color. Was tired of trying to iterate on it! We've learned enough from it... 😁

Here's my #watercolor #marker attempt at a #bird (reference attached). I do not know what kind I'm so bad at that part.

Okay i think we learned some things tonight. Some new techniques i tried, and i like how a lot of it turned out.

Trying to make really cool dragonfly wings.

The page is almost getting full! Did another little #abstract #shape practice on the top right then planned out a piece I'd like to do that's a dragonfly casting the shadow of an actual dragon.

Bonus: #squirrel

#watercolor #art #marker #practice #artsky
Several small doodles across a single page ranging from abstract shapes to defined subjects (like dragons, dragonflies, a tree, a blue/purple fire, and a ringed planet).

A few more failures, a few more successes, but learning on every one (i hope 😋)
