I'm doing a drawing challenge with one of my students, and a recent prompt was "favorite anime character". Naturally I had to choose Venti from Genshin Impact! #genshin #venti #drawingchallenges #anime #characterart

A greyscale drawing of a zebra. Text at the top reads "31. Plains Zebra. Equus quagga" and the date at the bottom is 31/01/2026 - International Zebra Day!

We're ending January with International Zebra Day! I don't see the plains zebra enough, so it only felt right. Even if it is Yet Another Horse on my list. Second this month, more to come... but enjoy the stripy donkey!

A greyscale drawing of a saltwater crocodile with its mouth open. Text at the top reads "29. Saltwater Crocodile. Crocodylus prorsus" and the date at the bottom is 29/01/2026 - Birthday Request!

Ayy, it's a birthday croc! I love a good saltie, as much as fitting the tail onto the page took years off my life. Turns out this will be my easiest crocodilian to fit, which is... not a great prospect for the others.

It's another week! And I definitely did not forget to make this preview last night! Hey, I made it 4 whole weeks without forgetting, I get some credit. But we're getting into Fantasy February!! Lots of fun fantasy creatures coming up here!

A greyscale drawing of a speckled rattlesnake, posed sideways. Text at the top reads "28. Southwestern Speckled Rattlesnake. Crotalus mitchellii" and the date at the bottom is 28/01/2026 - Rattlesnake Roundup Day!

It's Rattlesnake Roundup day, and... I don't think this is the one they're talking about. But it is pretty! Look, I saw one of these once in a zoo, and I fell in love. I still love a diamondback, but variety is the spice of life!

A grayscale drawing of a leaf gecko. Text at the top reads "27. Satanic Leaf Gecko. Uroplatus phantasticus" and the date at the bottom is 27/01/2026.

It's a leaf! Or at least it looks like it has as many brain cells as one... I love this little guy. For a 'satanic' gecko, there isn't a hint of evil in this lizard's body. There is only Leaf.

A greyscale drawing of an atlas moth with detailing inspired by ancestor moths. Text at the top reads "26. Ancestor Atlas Moth. Attacus atlas tamrielicus. "The Elder Scrolls"" and the date at the bottom is 26/01/2026.

I had two moths on my list, but it slowly became clear that somehow, 365 slots wasn't enough for my list, so I started doing some combining! So here's an atlas moth with some Skyrim ancestor moth inspiration! I think it turned out quite well.

A greyscale drawing of two ball pythons curled up next to each other. Text at the top reads "25. Ball Python. Python regius. Pied mimosa + Cypress lesser batman morphs" and the date at the bottom is 25/01/2026.

I love ball python morphs! I mean, I did a whole project on spooky-themed morphs (sunset sinnamon my beloved), so it was fun doing some morphs that didn't show up there! And also the names. The names may have been a selling point too.

A greyscale drawing of a bleeding heart dove perched on a branch. Text at the top reads "24. Luzon Bleeding-Heart Dove. Gallicolumba luzonica" and the date at the bottom is 24/01/2026.

A bleeding heart dove is a classic, of course it got added to my list. And it's got those pretty blue iridescent feathers that I'm... somewhat unsure on how I'll actually color when it's time. But hey, that's future me's problem!

A greyscale drawing of a spotted skunk sitting with a butterfly on its head. Text at the top reads "23. Spotted skunk. Spoligale gracilis" and the date at the bottom is 23/01/2026.

Skunks are so precious, man. With their little nose, and their claws, and that big tail... and yeah, sure, they can also spray you until the smell makes you wanna explode, but! It has the face of a friend. So it's forgiven.

A greyscale drawing of a dhole lying down, looking at the viewer. Text at the top reads "22. Dhole. Cuon alpinus" and the date at the bottom is 22/01/2026.

Just a pretty, fluffy dhole! There are very few canids I don't have on my list, and you can best believe that the dhole wasn't getting left out. Because look! A puppy!
#365days #drawingchallenges #art #animals #dog #dhole

Its week 4! We've got a good spread of normal animals this week as we're closing off this first month! Lots of reptiles (reminder that birds are, indeed, reptiles) and some absolutely thoughtless eyes!

A greyscale drawing of a kookaburra perched on a branch. Text at the top reads "19. Laughing Kookaburra. Dacelo novaeguineae" and the date at the bottom is 19/01/2026.

We love a fluffy bird who screams and also eats small animals whole! Don't we? All I know is that I'm excited to do the colors for this one, with little hints of blue and orange.

A greyscale drawing of a snowflake eel, raised up to touch a snowflake with its nose. The text at the top reads "18. Snowflake Moray Eel. Echidna nebulosa" and the date at the bottom is 18/01/2026.

Was doing all of those markings worth it for drawing my favorite eel? ... Yes, but only barely. And of course I had to give it a snowflake, its only right. But I am going to hate doing this in pen...

A greyscale drawing of a white sturgeon. Text at the top reads "17. White Sturgeon. Acipenser transmontanus" and the date at the bottom is 17/10/2026.

If I had a nickel for every time some kid at the zoo called this a shark, I'd have Too Many Nickels. Anyway, such a cool, dragon-y fish! I don't know why it feels dragon-y, maybe because of the last two days, but it just fits the vibes.
#365days #drawingchallenges #art #animals #fish #sturgeon

A greyscale drawing of a dragon sitting on its hind legs, wings raised to the sky. The dragon is Rhaegal from the show Game of Thrones. The text at the top reads "16. Dragon. "Game of Thrones." Rhaegal" and the date at the bottom is 16/01/2026, "Happy Appreciate a Dragon Day!"

It's Appreciate a Dragon day! Apparently. Hey, any excuse to draw a dragon, I'm going to take. Especially when it's one of my favorite GoT dragons! And man, was this one hard to fit on the page...

A greyscale drawing of a leafy seadragon. Text at the top reads "15. Leafy Seadragon. Phycodurus eques" and the date at the bottom is 15/01/2026.

Seadragon! Were all of the little leafy bits a bit tedious to draw? Sure. But was it also worth it for a pretty little guy? Absolutely. Plus, I want to do fun colors with this one, so it'll all come together one day.
#365days #drawingchallenges #art #ocean #animals #seadragon

Third week preview! We've got some pretty normal animals this week! A dragon, and a dragon. A laughing bird and a fairy bird. It's a good time, for certain.

A greyscale drawing of a young fossa climbing a branch. Text at the top reads "14. Fossa. Cryptoprocta ferox. Young fossa" and the date at the bottom is 14/01/2026.

Baby fossa! Fossaling? Fossa pup? Whatever it is, I saw it and knew I had to do the baby for my list. Like, adult fossas are cool and sleek and all that, but... look at the little baby! With the big steps! Just a cute lil guy.

A greyscale creature with a fox-like appearance and a long, twisting body. It has a long tail, 8 segmented and blunt legs, and spiky fur going down its back. The creature's fox-like face has no eyes, and a butterfly has landed on its nose. Text at the top reads "13. Faulty. Timor mutatio. Metathesiophobia" and the date at the bottom is 13/01/2026.

RGB noodle fox! Sure, its in grey right now, but just imagine a gaming pc turned into a strange, long fox. How could you be afraid of change, when change is looking at you with deep, cavernous eye sockets? And a butterfly!

A greyscale drawing of a sea monster at the surface of the water with dolphin-like features, wearing a chunk of coral as a hat. The creature has several dorsal fins, several flippers, and a grabber tail. The text at the top reads "11. Falter. Timor oceanus. Thalassophobia" and the date at the bottom is 11/01/2026

Coral hat water monster! Because orcas can't be the only ones with fashion in the ocean. We love an amalgamation of undersea horrors, don't we?

A greyscale drawing of a golden eagle in flight. Text at the top reads "10. Golden Eagle. Aquila chrysaetos" and the date at the bottom is 10/01/2026.

Into double digits now! And what better way to celebrate than with one of my favorite birds of prey! I just love those colors, and I can't wait to try to recreate them. I did so pretty well on a griffin based on this bird, so I have high hopes!

A greyscale drawing of a bird-like creature perched on a branch, with snow falling around it. Text at the top reads "8. Flinch. Timor altitudo. Acrophobia" and the date at the bottom is 08/01/2026.

Another Fear! This one wants to take you up to see the sights! (And yes, maybe drop you off them, too) But how can you blame a little (size of a small vehicle) bird chilling in snowfall?
#365days #drawingchallenges #art #creatureconcept #bird

Second week! Including my rainbow noodle fox in a not-so-rainbow form. And a baby! It's a fun week coming up, for certain.
#365days #drawingchallenges #art #creatureconcept #animals #fantasy

A greyscale drawing of a six-legged horse-like creature trotting. The text at the top reads "7. Flight. Timor timor. Phobophobia" and the date at the bottom is 07/01/2026.

The Flight, last of the classics, one of... many horses on my list. But just because you're the embodiment of the fear of fear, doesn't mean you can work a trot! Though... this is one gift horse you definitely don't wanna look in the mouth.
#365days #drawingchallenges #creatureconcept #art #horse

A greyscale drawing of a sabertooth-like creature rolling in the grass. The creature has sections of armor-like skin with tiger marks on them, and a ball-like end to its tail. The text at the top reads "6. Fight. Timor dolor. Algophobia" and the date at the bottom is 06/01/2026

The Fight of the Fight-or-Flight Fears! I think I made these two in high-school? I consider this and the next one a classic. And look at that fluff! Go ahead for a pet, just... mind the claws.
#365days #drawingchallenges #creatureconcept #art #cat #tiger #sabertooth

A greyscale drawing of a dragon laying down, breathing white fire, with a large tail fan. The text at the top reads "4. Fija. Timor tenebrae. Achulophobia." and the date at the bottom is 04/01/2026

The last of the Fears I made in middle school! When I do color this, I'm not 100% on how I'll make the glowing effects, but... that's future me's problem.
#365days #drawingchallenges #art #creatureconcept #dragon

A greyscale drawing of a spider-like creature with hearts around it. Text at the top reads "3. Faint. Timor aranearum. Arachnophobia" and the bottom has the date 03/01/2026

Third in the Fear series! It's hard to make a spider based on fear cute, but... hearts! And just look at that little face! Its, uh... definitely not trying to lure you closer or anything.
#365days #drawingchallenges #art #creatureconcept #spider

A greyscale drawing of an original creature with a dog-like appearance and serpentine features. The top reads "1. Fear. Timor ignotus. Xenophobia" and the bottom reads the date 01/01/2026.

The first of many! Of course I had to start off with the creature that started it all, created all the way back in middle school! It's my bb, my little many-toothed, spider-eyes, knife-tailed bb
