I love drawing furry friends, but you can’t beat a bird for color.

The start of a colored pencil drawing. A Blue Tit bird is perched on a lemon tree branch outline with two juicy ripe lemons.

WIP Small piece inspired from my recent England/Sorrento trip. I really need to post some pics from that trip 🥴 but I’ve been away from drawing for too long sooo…. First things first

Who doesn’t love a Frenchie? This guy was too cute to pass up and I loved drawing all the beautiful colors in his coat 😍.

This is Mack. I knew from the moment I saw this picture that I had to draw it.

He might be a black dog but after his romp in the water, and looking into the light like this, his fur was a rainbow of colors. What a handsome boy!

This is my #dog Freyja. Creating this drawing was very hard. I took eleventy billion photos trying to get just the right one. Then there were times that I had her come over so I could look at her actual face. But I think it was worth it. I’d show it to her, but she’s taking a nap. @bsky.art #art

Thank you!

When I was younger all I ever drew was horses. Ok a horse. It was the same side perspective of a horses head over and over - poorly I might add. So I thought it might be fun to sit down and really draw a horse for once. It was definitely different from dogs and birds.

Four panel cartoon drawn by artist at FALSEKNEES.COM first panel is a corvid, i think a crow walking happily along a sidewalk, 2nd panel the corvid trips over an uneven segment of the sidewalk, 3rd panel is the crow looking angry in close up, and last panel is the crow zoomed out looking same, toe smarting, saying "I'll burn this city down"

Every Winter ends.

And yet suddenly we have a rash of airplane crashes but the new firings and brilliant minds thing is going great. I wouldn’t get on a plane unless you could guarantee that I would end up alive on the island from “Lost”. It’s a huge upgrade from this hellscape. Are we great yet? I can’t tell.

“Get yer seascapes, landscapes, sunsets, sunrises, haystacks and water lilies! All caught fresh today!”

Beautiful!

It looks like a sea scape.

People who think Democrats want to be more moderate have never looked at international politics. There is no real left of center option in America. You can want it but good luck finding someone to vote for that can get far enough through the process. And even then they won’t affect much 🫠

It’s only going to get worse bc they are trying to take history out of the curriculum completely. How very 1984 (book) of them 🙃.
Maybe we could get Kendrick and Samuel Jackson to do a podcast or something and get people interested in some of the other black history topics that got yt washed out.

Phishing Scam.

Tiny handpainted ghost and gravestone. Tiny faux luna moth. Hand made display.

Tiny hand painted ghost and real honey bee display.

Happy Friday! I finally finished up some new hand made ghost and bee displays.
The bees came from a local bee hive and died of natural causes.

Thank fuck for movies
Thank fuck for video games

Thank fuck for all the creatives out there who will help us cope the next 4 years whether by escapism or a rally cry

Colored pencil portrait of a white pelican and his reflection in the water

Thanks for hosting!
I’m a realistic colored pencil artist specializing in animal art. I draw both pet portraits and wildlife, especially birds.
Excited to find more artists on here since that’s why I came on here.

Beautiful!

What in the 1984? 😤🤯🫠

Pelican on the water with his reflection drawn in colored pencil

You can make art in small spaces. I drew this pelican a couple years ago from my recliner while recovering from a severe ankle break. Paints are a bit tricky, but pencils or ink/markers are fabulous and fairly easy to learn. No more excuses, go make art! @bsky.art

Ironic cross stitch reflective of politics in the US right now.

Today's mood. At least I'm retaining my humor. Not my art. #funny #art #crossstitch

He has a substack if you just want to get info in emails.

This! I’m a colored pencil artist and wondering where I fall in these feeds. So far this makes the most sense, but would hope it would be listed. Graphite is a pretty traditional medium too. Unless they are doing a pencil one to include pastels chalks pencils etc.

template for this lil guy is up now on etsy for those were asking & it’s discounted 🐛🍐
