Almost at the end of the Animal Alphabets but here is a group from Round 16 of @animalalphabets.bsky.social . The topic was words and I was worried about this going in but had a great time once it started.

Felt like sharing a few more from Round 9 of @animalalphabets.bsky.social as many of these I ended up using in an alphabets book for @zarfling : zarfling.com/zarfling-boo...

Next up in the look back on @animalalphabets.bsky.social is Round 10 and the theme was famous characters (though I have to admit I didn't know some of these😊).

Next up on the look back on @animalalphabets.bsky.social is Round 13. I don’t remember the topic but I think I added the activities

#animalalphabets #artchallenge #characterdesign #illustration #animals #aToZ

A bear in a boat singing a tune.

An elephant exercising on a treadmill.

A kiwi karate kicking a kicking a kiwi

A nuthatch on a nature walk with a big backpack.

On to Round 14 of @animalalphab and I believe the topic was activities. I like how a bunch of these characters came out.

Here are four of the images that I created for the #AnimalAlphabets ‘Words’ art challenge round. I ran with the theme of cartoon aliens for this one. #aliens #illustration #alien #cartoon

Next up in the look back on @animalalphabets.bsky.social is Round 9, and this was one of my favorites. This the second time with a theme of mythical creatures and I added musical styles to mine

Here’s four of the characters that I created for the #AnimalAlphabets ‘Mythical Creatures 2’ art challenge; Afanc, Brownie, Cat Sidhe & Dryad.

Next up in my look back at @animalalphabets.bsky.social is round 5. This round had a topic of movies/tv creatures and was another, for some reason, that I didn't love what I created as much overall.

Here’s the first four of the stylised animals that I drew for the #AnimalAlphabets ‘Breeds of animals’ series in 2022. I fancied creating them with a storybook feel. Sadly it was the only AA set that I started and didn’t complete.

Next up in my look back at @animalalphabets.bsky.social is round 6, with a theme or dinosaurs. I went with a standard colour across the whole round this time and it was kind of fun to try that.

Round 7 of @animalalphabets.bsky.social was sea creatures. Not my favourite topic but I liked how a few came out.

Time for a look back at Round 3 of @animalalphabets.bsky.social . I don't know why but I think I like my art from this round worst of all of them. Oh well, I'm sure I learned some things from drawing these :).

Whilst looking through a disk for past #AnimalAlphabets images I also came across a set of images that I did for #colour_collective (previously on twitter, now on Instagram). My idea was to create a bunch of flying machines having a race, using each week’s colour as the inspiration.
