[Art] Green-Billed Malkoha, Spangled Cotinga and Tacazze Sunbird

Might go into a deck one day. Honestly the deck/s have been on hold due to global shipping issues (especially USPS blocking all shipping to Australia for 6 months, though it's much better now, it's still not really 'fixed' like it was before, and many small businesses are still not shipping to us).

I've realised I'm very much just...wanting to illustrate a lot of rare animals these days. Chances are you may not have heard of all, or even any of these birds (since the last time I posted the inked versions anyway).

All of these coloured with coloured pencil, watercolour pencil, ink, and then a little bit of metallic watercolour and iridescent acrylic for accents.

[Art] Earless Monitor Lizard, Mongolian Toad and Siberian Flying Squirrel

These were the first animal teachers I actually illustrated this year, it's just due to fatigue I've been so lax about getting everything online in a timely manner. The art is the easy part! The social media part is challenging.

But it also feels good to be sharing these again. :)

I hope you enjoy them. As always, traditional art, mostly colour and watercolour pencil, ink, and some minor metallic watercolour and iridescent acrylic for accents to make it SHINY.
