So sad to hear about the pending closure of The Academy of Natural Sciences. Museums like this helped me learn how to sketch “from life.”

With acres of land successfully secured for generations to come thanks in part to Jackie, Ojai raptor center stepped in to give her the best chances with utmost care and compassion. Wildlife rehabbers and medical staff deserve the same in return. Donations: www.ojairaptorcenter.org/donate

Don't just share the most polished, professional works. Repost the people who are just starting, who are amateur, who maybe don't have the proportions or the anatomy or the color down. Remember they're choosing to pick up a pencil and enjoy the act of creating, many of them for the first time.

Happy #WorldOceansDay 🦀 Sketching wildlife from a boat is an exhilarating experience!

An image of two ink sketches of puffins: the top sketch was created from life from a boat circling Eastern Egg Rock island. The bottom sketch was created before the boat trip. Top sketch (ocean) shows a lot of squiggly lines. Sketched by Charlotte Belland

Mulan is one of Disney’s best-designed films. For that, you can thank Chen-Yi Chang. He was the character designer, and he put an amazing amount of care and research into his work. It lifted the whole team, as we explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-charac...

Three borbs I photographed just now from the balcony. They are all competing for maximum roundness. 🏐🪶

A red-whiskered bulbul perching on a branch like a bowling ball would. Bulbuls aren't supposed to be spherical.

An orange crowned warbler perched on an oak's branch looking at the camera with beady eyes. He round but that's normal for them.

A yellow rumped warbler perched on a branch also being exceedingly round.

Believe in your art, bbs. 🎨🎭🖌️ Don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking it isn’t important. I didn’t think my art had value for the longest time, but I eventually learned. Keep expressing yourself creatively. It can uplift and inspire those who need it and unsettle those who deserve to be.

BE KIND, BE INVOLVED, AND BELIEVE IN YOUR ART IN A TIME WHERE PEOPLE TELL YOU ART IS NOT IMPORTANT. THAT IS ALWAYS THE PRELUDE TO FASCISM. ALWAYS. WHEN THEY TELL YOU IT DOESN'T MATTER, WHEN THEY TELL YOU A F***ING APP CAN DO ART. YOU KNOW, YOU SAY, WELL, IF IT'S THAT EASY AND IF IT'S THAT UNIMPORTANT, WHY THE F*** DO THEY WANT IT SO BAD? AND THE ANSWER IS BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY CAN DEBASE EVERYTHING THAT MAKES US A LITTLE BETTER, A LITTLE MORE HUMAN.
