So cute! Ahh!

Photo of a desk from above. It is covered in art supplies including a big tin of wax pastels on one side and paint brushes spread out in the top corner. In the middle is an open sketchbook with a WIP of an orange and white cat on one page and a painting of a calico cat from front-on.

I'm getting a little closer each time to what feels like my style for cats. But there are so many ways to draw and paint them, there's plenty more to try!

Raw on the cattle drive with me? 😚👉👈

Close up photo of a simple painting of a ginger, tabby, and white cat against a magenta background. It shows the front half of the cat and yellow and white star and sparkle motifs.

Close up photo at an angle of a painting of a tortoiseshell cat from the front, sat like a loaf. Behind the cat is a blue circle, with a red background behind that. There are pale yellow/green sparkle motifs.

Close up photo showing part of a painting of a cat in watery orange gouache and outlined in black fineliner. The cat sits on a lilac pool with white sparkles in it and is surrounded by lilac sparkles.

More cats are on the way 😌

Photo showing part of a mixed media illustration of a black cat in black, blues, and greens. It is surrounded by star and sparkle motifs in these colours. The open tin of pastels is partially visible at the top of the shot.

A close-up of the same cat illustration. It shows the pastel strokes in black, teal, purple-blue, and very pale green. There is some green underpainting showing through the gaps.

Another close-up, showing the tail where it wraps over the paws. There are teal sparkle motifs next to the cat.

A sneak peek of new art in the works 😌 same style, new subject! I've drawn cats pretty much all my life but ALWAYS SUCKED beyond circle face, trongle ears, so I am finally working to change that 😂

A four panel comic. In panel 1, there are three beautiful blooming roses, and the text says "Roses are red..." In panel 2, there are some lovely violets budding and blooming, and the text says "Violets are blue..." In panel 3, there are some terrifying red and flesh colored plants with toothy maws and the text says "Hydnora are leafless, bizarrely fleshy, and incapable of producing chlorophyl..." and in panel 4 there are some cute hearts and the text says "And so are you. Happy Valentine's Day"

Botany valentine. Another oldie.

My watercolour painting featuring a variety of birds scattered across the sky, river, and grass. The main text at the bottom reads 'Figham Common', there's a description of the place, and a list of the bird species in the painting.

Here's a watercolour painting of my patch and the birds that live there. After numerous months of planning and painting, I'm really excited to share the final result. I'd love to hear which bird is your favourite!

Digital illustration made in Procreate depicting a warmly lit home office in the early 2000s. On the office desk is a teal and white early iMac G3. A black cat is half-crouched with the computer mouse in its mouth, staring at the viewer as though caught mid-hunt. The scene is littered y2k objects. The wall has a poster of Rihanna and of Britney Spears' "Oops!... I Did It Again" album cover. Items on the office desk include a blank CD stack, a pink lava lamp, a VHS on top of a Blockbuster case, and an old landline phone.

The same box, opened to reveal clear plastic packets of bird art stickers inside (no chocolate to be found)

I have found a sticker storage solution that may or may not leave me very disappointed later on 🤠

A photo of my latest punch needle yarn piece; a yellow cat, mouth open wide, with a big flower petal collar. The background is a blurred photo of a flower field.

a flowery feline friend 🌸✨

Last night after we turned our phones off we looked thru our back window and saw a candle on our neighbors porch across the alley. We put a candle on our own porch and then a few minutes later saw several others do the same in response. RIP Alex

Rug tufting is my calling. Lol

It's really lovely, the depth and colours are just 🤌🏻 hopefully I'll actually catch a stream soon 🥲

Photo of part of a sketchbook page. On the page are watercolour blobs in bright colours, each with a simple ink magpie drawing overlaid. This is a close up of the sneaky magpie, sort of crouched and stretching their beak forward as though to reach something.

Low angle photo of the same page showing the TV in the background. A Twitch stream by ipaintbirbs is playing.

A progress shot of the same sketchbook page. The ink and glass dip pen are shown at the sides of the shot. A completed magpie sketch is standing and looking over their shoulder with bill open. A magpie perching is in progress.

A close up of a yellow watercolour patch with an inked magpie on it. The magpie is standing with their tail part raised.

It's sketching/ideation/playing with mediums time! While most of my "final" work ends up being in gouache or wax pastels, when I'm in my sketchbook I'm always reaching for ink.

WE'RE GETTING HADES STREAMS 🥳

My gorgeous amazing girlfriend @rosiiie.bsky.social has promised me she'll stream my favourite game (Hades) if I share her posts and help her acquire some more followers, so please help me out 🙏🏻😂

Also I did her little art bits and there's more incoming when I get the chance!

Sketchbook page with two unfinished portrait paintings of a black horse. The magenta underpainting shows though and there are accidental blobs of magenta over the top of one.

Trust the process 🙏🏻😅

Some sketchbook practice ponies in progress!

AI 'art' is soulless to me. I can't truly call it art because it doesn't even meet the base level definition - 'expression' of 'human creativity and imagination'.

How can I feel emotion and interest from something that had none put into it?

I wrote way more on this on Insta if you're interested.

Prints available now 🥳

Photo of a sketchbook laid open on a desk, showing a page of paintings. The two painting studies are of horses' heads/faces in somewhat abstract colour palettes, with yellow circles behind them. The paintings are unfinished, with just main paint colours blocked in.

The same sketchbook page, with the paintings finished with pastel details. The horses are stylised with back outline and semi realistic textural detail.

Stuck in the middle step -> finished! 💛✨

A lovely read! And got some excellent ideas for getting myself doing more art 💛✨

A page of small paintings of willow ptarmigans on grey paper. They are slightly stylised, and are surrounded by star and sparkle motifs. There is a side-on portrait of a male ptarmigan, a male ptarmigan running in snow, and two full body paintings of females.

Close up of one of the female ptarmigans, showing more of the detail and texture of the wax pastel used for the plumage.

Close up of the top part of the page: the male ptarmigan portrait against a pale blue halo, and a fluffed up female surrounded by yellow sparkles.

Flatlay photo of the page on a desk, against a cork desk mat. It is next to another page of paintings, the tin of wax pastels, and a plate being used as a paint palette.

Willow ptarmigans 🥰 I'll admit I'm in a slight art slump right now and these are from a couple of weeks ago 😤 Anyone for ptarmigan stickers? Or is that a bit too obscure? 🤔

Painting of a baby lowland tapir lying down. It is slightly stylised with linework in a deep purple-brown and a single broad brush stroke in pale blue painted around its front end in a circle.

Close up of sketchbook pages showing a tapir on a front-on three-quarter angle walking, and an unfinished side view of a walking tapir. The front-on tapir is a pencil sketch with black linework over the top and a painted blue circle behind. The unfinished tapir has a watercolour like base coat.

Sketchbook page including the baby tapir painting and other partial pencil sketches of tapirs, including one standing and one chewing while lying down.

Went to Peak Wildlife Park last week and saw lowland tapirs and all sorts of other critters 💛 I took a sketchbook but it was just too cold to get it out and draw, so I looked at some refs when we got home 🥰
