Hello #PortfolioDay! Time for a reintroduction! I'm an animal artist from Northern Norway, usually found drawing wildlife (or pets, or animal characters) or out hiking. I also make (free) tutorials/booklets, and am working on a book on how to draw felines. Open for art questions ♥️

Of course, the recent discovery of the tilcayo was interesting, but there is a lot more to talk about when discussing tiger cats! So have a little comparison: #SciArt #tilcayo #tigercat #oncilla #tigrina #guide

A guide about the different tiger cat species and their differences. All featured cat species look similar, but there are some subtle differences in spot size and shape, as well as color.

Especially L. emiliae has been difficult, having switched between species and subspecies multiple times in different papers. That said, the recent research is the most extensive done until now, so I've gone with what it says.

Quite a few of these don't interbreed even when put together in zoo enclosures, which checks with the "species" theory, and the recent genetic tests shows that some of these split hundreds of thousands (or more) of years back. Still, drawing the line between species vs subspecies is always tricky.

Some bonus notes on their markings in general, for those who are interested in that:

With luck, a hundred years from now (or more, who knows), someone will be drawing, because they saw the works of someone who was inspired to draw by my works. The joy of painting, paid forward into the unkown future. That would be amazing. #drachenmagier #art

Avocet, since recolonising in Suffolk in 1947 after previously being extinct as a breeding bird in the UK, have spread north and west with intensive protection and help. folksy.com/find/item/85... #avocet #Birds #OriginalArt #Drawing #Painting #Artwork #GiftIdeas #ShopIndy #WildlifeArt #bsnm

A mixed media drawing of avocets standing in shallow water with grasses in the foreground. The water is painted in layers of lilac and and violet blue, in increasingly light tones as they eye moves up the picture.
The Avocet is a distinctively-patterned black and white wader with a long up-curved beak. They are used as the emblem of the RSPB. Look for Avocets in coastal lagoons on the east coast in summer, and the Exe estuary come winter.
An original art work, please note that the frame is not included.

Working through some power and strength with this one. Tiger in graphite, .3 and .5 GraphGear pencils. Loved this quiet reference, no drama, just the tiger resting against the bark. #sciart

Graphite pencil sketch of a tiger leaning against a weathered tree trunk, rendered in fine linework with soft shading. The tiger's head is turned toward the viewer, ears alert, with detailed fur texture at the ruff and shoulder. Background suggests soft snow and hazy trees. Signed lower right.

Great grey owl I painted for a commission, using the streaky feather pattern typical here in the eurasian part of its range. Could still look angrier. 😂 20x30cm, watercolor and gouache on 300g paper. 🇳🇴 = lappugle #BirdArt #SciArt #TraditionalArt

A painting of a luminous night scene in a clearing amid scratchy leafless trees in indigo, with backlit clouds in the sky and a rather foggy meadow with the bare sticks of bushes protruding from blue-green grass. In the foreground an owl with streaked plumage sits with one foot on its perch next to the light-colored trunk of the birch tree. It is fully facing the viewer, golden eyes intense. The owl and birch are in colors of purple, blue, and a little bit of red.

I usually paint the eye last of all. I thought I'd reverse it a bit. What you see here took all day to paint (minus a few hours for cooking and eating, etc). I wish I was joking. ;_;
