Pato crestón / crested duck (_Lophonetta specularioides_)

day 5: mirrored
This one is a little bit forced. The species name "specularioides" derives from latin word "speculum", a mirror. This name was given in reference to its speculum

5. Mirrored. Have had a massive artistic block for a few weeks. Using sciartseptember prompts for creative inspiration for quick sketches. Hopefully I can merge them into one large cohesive image.

Day 3 of is Captive, so I sketched one of my (captive) leaf insect gals! She ended up becoming a red colour morph even though her mum was not ❤️💚

day 2
“Jeremy Wade’s catch is taken by a real ”
Rhizodus hibberti
The scariest fresh water fish ever known to science. This monstrous lob-finned fish was 7m long and had some ridiculous 9 inches fangs half-buried in their 1m long jaws.

Process goes hand-in-hand with patience, practice, repetition. I often think that this painstaking repetitive methodology must be a bit similar to the way many scientists carry out their work.

I drew this male and female bufflehead pair in grad school about 7 years ago.

Ooh boy, this mistletoe is the most combined sketch ever. For days 23, 24, and 27: Arboreal, Circular, and Adaptable

Hoping I can catch up in time to do a full painting for day 30 - to close it off nicely, and because I got an idea that I really want to do

It's Day 28 in my neck of the woods.
"Tiny" is the prompt.

This brightened my day last spring:

I’m not sure what day of the prompt is but here is ‘Bloodlines’ a photo-digital print. Also a play on words :-)

This self-portraits begins an upcoming series of portraits of ancestors & others.

Day 22 - for I'm picking on the Sphynx cat for this prompt. They're neat animals but only came about from selective breeding in the 1960s in Canada. 🤯

For the day 27 of the prompt is 'adaptable'. Snakeheads are one of the most adaptable species, we see them all around the world and have proven to survive through extreme conditions!
