Got the scanner to clean this old Inktober doodle up. This is one of my favorites from last year #art #traditionalart #animalart #canines

Two foxes fight against a white background. A red fox pins a grey fox to the ground. Its teeth are bared and bloody while the while the grey fox looks up at them in shock and alarm.

The Disagreement #photos #wildlife #birds #bluejay

Three Blue jays sit around a stump in a semi circle. The bird in the center faces another bird, slightly crouched, with its beak wide open. The other bird stares down bewildered while the third bird looks on.

I like taking pictures of my art as I go so I can see the various stages for myself. Here's the step-by-step process for my sparrow drawing #art #birdart #artprocess #traditionalart

A sketch of sparrow perching on the edge of a log.

An inked version of the previous sketch. The pencil marks are still clearly visible in the image.

The same inked image as the previous photo, however now the pencil lines are removed. Only the inked version of the bird remains.

The fully colorized drawing of the White-throated sparrow from the first photo.
