The hawk from Rango, ballpoint pen sketch
Decided to try using ballpoint pen in my sketchbook for the first time and was able to whip this out with no reference in about 5 minutes. The hawk is one of my favorite animal characters of all time and to this day one of the most realistic looking birds in an animated film.

Here’s one of my favourite tigers, finally coloured!
Here’s something a little different this time, a jaguar in digital media. I have a lot to learn…
Sorry for the silence again, life’s kinda hard to get back on track. But promise I’ll be back with more tigers!
Day 25: Ferret.
I love their long bodies, so fun to draw!
Day 4: Zebra
My worst nightmare is hooves. But this zebra was fun to draw!
Forbidden rat: possums
How to color digitally. Cute animal critter character design.
Egg-yolk jellyfish are a beautiful jellyfish found in the waters along the West Coast. Hitchhikers like crabs have been found catching a ride inside their bell (the umbrella shaped top)- which is something I REALLY want to see!
This year, every time I feel like I am burning out working on big projects, I take a break and do some silly 30 second blind contours of animals from memory, and it is so freeing, I can’t help but laugh as I try to recall the shape of the animal and feel its form with my hand without looking at what I am doing. I think I did a pretty good job, I am proud of them :) I suggest everyone do this when they feel stuck and frustrated, whether as an artist or not.
