2026 goal: water colors

Messing around with water colors and brush pens. There’s a green cube with a red outline at the top left. Top center has alternating green and purple vertical stripes. Top right has alternating purple and red horizontal stripes. Below the stripes is a red triangle with a purple outline. Middle left is a red and green circle with a vaguely yin yang pattern. Bottom left is an abstract purple figure. Middle bottom has a purple stick chair floating above a pine tree. And bottom right is a purple squiggle as I experimented with the brush. The unifying element is that I don’t know what I’m doing with any of it

Still struggling with inspiration and motivation, and working my way through a list of d&d monsters the kiddo requested in the meantime. This wyvern is 7th of the twelve he asked for

Unfinished pencil portrait of a wyvern from the front. It has a broad face and narrow eyes. I still don’t understand the difference between a wyvern and a dragon

Me discovering Butlerian Jihad is a Dune thing and not a Judith Butler thing:

A curvy old fairy dancing with her eyes closed. She is up on her toes on one leg with her other knee raised. She has white hair peeking out from a blue bandana with white polka dots. She is holding a star tipped wand in front of a red and orange striped shirt. Her outer wings are red and fade to orange and yellow closer to her body. I haven’t drawn a background yet

Phainopepla #art #drawing #bird #birds #gothcardinal #sketch #sketchbook

Discouraging drawing of a phainopepla, which apparently doesn’t have a common name. Bulk of the bird is in black brush pen, I tried using pencil for the highlighted bits. The surrounding greenery is drawn in varying levels of detail and the portion of the bird below the branch it is standing on is left undone. (That’s by choice but I should have transitioned it below the branch)

Matt’s post of the goth cardinal
