luna is 9 today so everyone is legally required to wish her a happy birthday
a photo of my tuxedo cat, luna, laying on a chair with a red cushion. someone drew on top of this photo to put a birthday hat on her. there is text in the image saying “It’s my birthday! Happy 9th birthday to me <confetti emoji>”

My final drawing for this session. I’m sad I was never able to finish any in the class time, but I’m very happy with how well I’ve done regardless.

Unfinished graphite drawing of a human skull in a box. It is part of a larger still life setup seen in the background of the picture.

a rough graphite drawing of a skull that is part of a larger still life. the skull is most likely a deer as it has antlers.
