Finished the pet portrait. The first portrait is the one I just finished and the second one is from last year. I did spend more time on the current one.

Wip another pet portrait of my friend's cat, Punchy. I plan on having him done in the next couple of days.

Finished a page in my sketchbook with an Emerald moth and some Anthurium, only like 20 pages left to go!

Decided to attempt to work on fur and dogs yesterday. I definitely have a lot to learn, wavy fur is not easy!

Finished my latest flower doodle with the Golden Chalice Vine and Blue Ginger. I'm on the fence about it, but I also like looking at it. I'll revisit it at some point I'm sure.

A floral WIP that I started last night and plan on coloring today. It is a mix of Golden Chalice Vine and Blue Ginger

Haha thanks

Decided to call this one quits instead of tackling it in charcoal. I think I'm going to do some mules in charcoal instead.

I have been lost to the world of Pokopia the last couple weeks, but decided to get into my sketchbooks last night, so here is a work in progress. I may end up redoing this in charcoal.

Finally finished the intro page to my new sketchbook! Not sure what I'll work on next, but I'm sure I'll enjoy the time spent hunting down some inspiration.

Thank you so much! I appreciate the follow and the compliment!!

I was hoping to leave them white and just darken the background up to make them stand out more, but I think they are too thin to leave white, so I do think you are right about coloring them in. I did float the idea of doing a hot pink, but I'm also not minding your metallic silver idea!

Thank you! I'm liking it too which is making me even more nervous as to what to tackle next, so baby steps with this one! That intro page can be nerve wracking, but it's fun once you decide what to do. My sketchbooks are generally themed which does help getting the intro page ideas out easier.

My current project: the inside cover as an intro page to the new sketchbook. Not really sure how I'm going about doing the rest of it but I should be done in a couple days I'd think.

I put my vote in for some green!

The last 6 bugs I needed to get done for #febugary2026 I kinda did my own thing with these last few. I did manage to finish out and start a new sketchbook doing these challenges, so I'll keep on keeping on

Lethocerus insulanus for #febugary2026. Only 6 more little guys to go! This is now the intro page to my new sketchbook...

The 3rd page of bugs for #febugary2026 is done. I attached a pic of the spread as well. I think I may have 4 or 5 bugs left to do for the final day tomorrow and one more to post later today!

Ty, ty!!

2nd page of bugs down for #febugary2026 - a third blue page waiting to be done. After that page I'll have 7 more bugs left to draw and color. I think I may enjoy crunch time drawing, makes me question things less. I just do and see how it turns out.

Thank you! I finished another page last night which I will be posting shortly and then a couple more to go!

Took a break from my sketchbook, did some scrolling and saw #BirdWhisperer existed, so I did a very quick colored pencil sketch of the lovebirds. I will be paying attention to this challenge the rest of the year! But for now I have bugs to finish...

#art #illustration #birds #sciart #sketchbook

1st page of about 4 pages of bugs I want to color in for #febugary2026. This one doesn't seem all that impressive but then again there are only 4 bugs on it, the next couple of pages have a lot more!

Thank you, thank you

@flyingtrilobite.com was wondering if I can become a contributor to the SciArt feed?

Attempting to catch up to the last 18 days of #febugary2026 I still have a couple to draw, and then onto coloring. That bottom right corner in the blue panel is gonna be a trick to cover the mess up.

Will be catching up on bugs the next couple of days, until then here are some buildings from around Salem, Ma from my Trips sketchbook.
