Happy Earth Day.🌎 Little Tortoise getting some TLC. #sketchbook #SciArt #illustration

With news of the world currently feeling so in-your-face stark, negative/attention seeking, it doesn’t surprise me that my eye is drawn to the cream, pink, pale blue, faded tans and greens. There are still soft, gentle things in the world. We just have to look for them.

Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing it. 🙂

Aww!🥰 So cute! Bats are very important. Wish more people understood how beneficial they are. Thanks for sharing.

Sick, isolating from family and trying to distract myself. Inspired by a favorite Disney animation scene. Anyone else remember the twilight bark? Pen, colored pencils, watercolors. #sketchbook #illustration

Plains Spadefoot Toad (Spea bombifrons) #SciArt #illustration #sketchbook

Wow! Gorgeous! And so tiny! 😯👏🏻👏🏻

When every line and shadow feels like a struggle, I have to remind myself that it’s ok. That’s often what learning feels like. Stretching, trying, correcting and trying again. ✍🏻 #sketchbook #SciArt #illustration Can you guess the animal?

😊 Thanks!
Didn’t realize bad leads were such an issue. Certainly never had a problem with my Derwent Inktense watercolor pencils. But the grays in this other brand’s set- 😫

Thanks for chiming in. Haven’t tried Faber-Castell pencils yet. Will keep them in mind. 🙂✍🏻

Feels like dumb question, but do any of you have a favorite pencil sharper? Keep breaking points. Or could it be the pencils? Idk just very frustrated. WIP inspired by Meatloaf, a rescued Green Sea Turtle at the Aquarium of the Pacific. #sketchbook #illustration #SciArt #kidlitart

Snow Leopard Cub, that is. Wish we could edit posts.

There are times when it’s good to focus on something else. Even if it’s just for a few minutes. WIP Leopard cub. #sketchbook

Very rough sketch for #caturday
Figuring out line placement for a kitty blissfully enjoying the sunshine from her spot upon the garden wall. 🤔✍🏻 🐾

Love colors used here. 🥰

Ever feel like you’re not quite sure of what you’re doing? 🤔
Part of the learning process, I guess.

Not sure what kind of fish this is, so let’s just call it an imaginary fish. #SciArt 🦑 #sketchbook #SundayFishSketch

Some days all we can do is try. ✍🏻🤷🏼‍♀️

Wow, Mr. Hendley! Your art never fails to impress and inspire. Thanks for taking the time to share it. 🙂

💔😢 Losing a furry friend is incredibly hard and the grief can sometimes suck the breath right out of you at unexpected moments. Give yourself plenty of grace, cry those tears, feel those feelings and remember happy times with feline. My sincere condolences.

Allergies are bugging me, but got some practice time in.
