Sorry there's not more this week.  These are studies from photos, the soldiers from WWII, the ladies from fashion photos.

Back on the Branch


Hey!  First off, I am so sorry for missing last week's post.  It was a busy weekend, things snowballed, and I fell behind.
This feller here is a white-cheeked (I think...) long-tailed bushtit.  The guinea pig of birds.  No neck, all head...or body?  Basically a golf-ball-sized puff of adorable fluff with wings.  Ink and watercolor, this went really fast, only about 2 hours from start to finish, thanks to the hair dryer for speeding up the painting process.

A Lovely Portrait


Wait, don't run away, the goblin shark just wants to say hi!

I considered doing this shark for one of my acrylic practice paintings, and still might paint him.  There isn't a lot known about the goblin shark, and not a lot of reference pictures–at least, trustworthy pictures–either.  It's really too bad, this is a really unique creature, it deserves attention that isn't just "oh-look-another-freaky-sea-creature" hype.
