I decided to try and draw something different for once. I decided on my mom's cat, who had been sitting beside me, not moving,for awhile. As soon as I start getting the basic shapes he moved 😮‍💨 decided to try and draw his face anyway. Got this monstrosity 🤣😅 #art #artsky #itsacatipromise #amateurart

🌎 Austral pygmy owl (Glaucidium nana) The austral pygmy owl is a small owl with gray-brown and red colour morphs. Both morphs have pale yellow eyes and "false eyes" on the nape. It is found in central and southern Chile and western Argentina, inhabiting diverse environments from city parks to dense forests. Primarily diurnal, it's a solitary "sit-and-wait" predator, preying on insects, birds, mammals, and reptiles, sometimes taking prey almost double its size. They typically nest in tree cavities. 2.5 Flash (Edited) No subspecies are recognised.

The Blackbird of Annoyance has replaced the Bluebird of Happiness in my life
A black bird stands on some cracked concrete, looking upwards at camera. The angle, its stance and its plumage - white eyes are the only let-up from the black - makes the bird look thoroughly pissed off

Does it count as a self portrait if it's only half your face?? I just wanted to make friends with the sharks. First time painting a face #shark #art #artsky #amateurartist #selfportrait #acrylics #acrylicpainting #referencedpainting
