Bird studies I drew of sparrows and woodpeckers to try to identify them better. Almost a year later and I still get the sparrows mixed up.

I'm working on a Fruit Dragon zine. Featuring Gogo and new cute dragons! Can read few of the pages now here: tapas.io/episode/3343...
I drew a building for practice. I want to improve. Just setting time to start for a solid 15min is the hardest part. More so as I've been struggling to work on my comic. I have to rememver it's not a waste of time. Heck, I should apply this to my comic work. 15min of work is better than none.
An old animation I did and wanted to reshare. Gotta get that huff in.
Look at my little sticker hoarder dragon ~ Can get 'em as a small 60 page reusable sticker book to store all your stickers. ✨️ www.thekao.net/shop/Sticker...
Unpopular motivation hack for drawing: Start drawing immediately, even if it feels impossible. After 15 minutes, your brain will recognize the difficult task and create dopamine to help you keep going. Agonizing endlessly before the drawing doesn't help your creative process.
Drew a demon named Steve. Drew this live on my twitch stream @ thekaostudios I stream every Wednesday night @6pm central.
