A couple of Christmases ago I started working on some portraits for family members as gifts. These are the ones for my dad and mom (the latter of which took me entirely too long to get around to colouring. Sorry about that, Mom.) ^^;

(Very belated) day 20: jackal
Jackal pups, more specifically. Had the privilege of seeing three of these little guys up close at the Shamwari Rehabilitation Center. You can’t handle that sort of cuteness.
(Sorry I haven’t been posting much lately. I’m deep in the throes of a major art slump right now. )

(Very belated) day 19: cape porcupine
We were on a night drive so we didn’t get a very good look at these guys at the time, but we found their quills everywhere. They’re like shedding cats, only more painful.

I haven’t had this blog for very long, but even in that short time it’s been interesting to see how different art does here compared to other social media platforms. My #2017bestnine for Tumblr vs Instagram are almost complete opposites. Thank you for the support either way though!

Quick kitty sketch during my break at work the other day, inspired by the newest adorable member of our household. Will color (eventually.)

I’m the Doctor.
Hells yeah you are. ⠀
This is a work in progress for a class I’m taking. I figured it was the perfect chance to try some inking out on the new Cintiq! Have I mentioned how much I love that thing? *Smothers it with love*

(Belated) day 18: kudu
One of my favorite species of antelope: kudu! Really gorgeous animals and they always look so damn regal.
Sorry I disappeared for so long. Life stuff.

An extra special birthday greeting for a friend from work who has a thing for sexy lumberjacks. This was supposed to just be a quick sketchy doodle, but once I got going I couldn’t stop. It was just too fun to work on.

Early submission for Zaggar Week even though the prompts haven’t even been released yet. ¬_¬ The original sketch was done back before season 4 dropped so things obviously played out a bit differently :c – but I’m still hoping we’re going to see some payoff eventually because I’m crazy about this ship. ♥ #villainlove

Day 15: spotted hyena
These guys are so underappreciated. They’re such interesting animals!
This one’s a bit late, I know. With having only recently started drawing again, I’m not at a point yet where I can consistently crank out a new piece day after day after day without fizzling out, and over the last week it’s become more like a chore and I’ve been losing my energy and enthusiasm for it. Last night after staring at my blank sketchbook for an hour I finally just closed it and set it aside, and I was surprised at how much it helped — simply giving myself the permission to take a break and do something else for a while.
Sorry to those of you who look forward to seeing a new drawing each day — I’m still going to try and carry on with Inktober in spirit and finish the 31 day set I have planned — but I’m going to relax my schedule a bit so I can do some self care and work on some other projects, even if that means not finishing the set by the end of the month. Inktober isn’t worth burning myself out over. (I made it half way after all, learned some new things in the process, and for a first-timer I don’t think that’s too shabby.) Most importantly, I never want to get the point where drawing isn’t fun anymore.
Remember: always be kind to yourself!

Day 13: waterbuck
Love these guys because they strut around with a big ol’ toilet seat ring on their ass and they do it with gusto. Respect.

Day 12: elephant
Have you ever been in a car sandwiched between two elephants? I have. It is both a slightly terrifying and amazing experience.

Day 11: puff adder
Watch where you walk. Don’t want to step on one of these guys.
(There’s some weird things on this one, I know. Turns out that despite not having wings or legs or arms or much of anything else, snakes are even more frustrating to draw than birds.)
