Today's #Whistober drawing is a fun little sketch experiment inspired by a photo by @elibisme.bsky.social Feels like it captures a kind of seasonal Halloween vibe even without the spider!

Digital drawing of a spiderweb covered in dew drops against a black background. A tree with red autumn leaves is reflected upside down in each dew drop in such a way that it also looks like bloody roots reaching into the ground.

If cats were judged by human values, they would embody each cardinal #sin. Luckily, cats have a more pragmatic view of the world: pride is simply confidence, envy and wrath are a lack of the favorite pillow, gluttony is getting food on time, and sloth are ten daily naps in the sun. #vss365

Good morning friends, todays theme is BEES Not just any #Bees, but the derpy #glorious chonkers that are the Eastern Carpenter Bee, Xylocopa virginiana. Bee warned #BeeBut content incoming 😂 This one posed for a portrait some years back. #MacroPhotography #Nature #insects #Awe and #Wonder

A portrait of a large fuzzy black and yellow bee. The square part of its face between its eyes is bright yellow. The eyes are a dark yellowish green mottled with black. It's thorax is covered in bright yellow fuzz-like scales forming a mane as it were for the bee. The black legs are also covered in fuzz-like scales but they are a more pale darker yellow.

Thanks, we had a narcissist for a mother who always pitted us against each other and after she died we shared the common ways she manipulated us. It was healing to know she didn’t just do it to one of us. Idk why you and your sister parted ways but I hope you are able to resolve the past. 🫂🫂🫂

It’s just a dewy spiderweb but thought maybe the repetition of straight lines and dewdrop circles might feel stimmy.

I got to see them once and it was glorious. It was also cool to watch a group of black vultures fight a juvenile bald eagle for the carcass of a paddlefish once during a Christmas bird count.

Roosting turkey vulture around sunrise in winter. The tree branches are bare except for a few brown leaves. It has black feathers and a red exposed skin face with a little white at the stem of its black beak.

Two roosting black vultures: one with a black face and one with a white face on a large branch in winter.

Eli Belt @elibisme.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

We do. Both species share a common roosting area here in winter. We have a Nature Station at LBL and it has some of both species that live there as they can’t be released. Wild vultures visit them and sleep close by and inside the Nature Station area at night and leave slowly around sunrise. 1/2

From a suggestion by @antoniab247.bsky.social, here's a manatee portrait for #Whistober I'm drawing random things all month long... suggestions welcome!

Digital drawing in white ink against a black background of the sweet face of a manatee staring out at the viewer. It is drawn with a stipled effect of small dots to suggest form rather than being a detailed, realistic image.

Happy 3rd day of #Whistober wherein I draw a random thing every day! I was inspired by the monarchs that are currently swarming in our garden for this one. Suggestions for other subjects always welcome! I'm not so good at drawing people, but anything else is fair game! #art #inverts #SciArt

Digital sketch of a monarch butterfly. The butterfly has orange and black wings with a scattering of white dots along the edges. It is posed against a stark black background, making the orange and white pop out at the viewer.
