I never understood all the holiday songs and sayings about robins, they’re just common birds. The North American robins are, anyway. Turns out European robins are cute AF. (Not my photos)
if you’ve ever considered owning some of my work, it would mean a lot to me right now, more than most other times. i now have two places that i have posted images for purchase, pixieset and ko-fi.
on pixieset you can browse through many of the best pictures i have taken over the last few years and have prints made to order. there are many options ranging from small regular photo prints to large wall hangings. on ko-fi i have phone and desktop wallpapers available for download. then if you simply would like to really help me out you can support me on ko-fi in a one time or monthly way.
regardless, thank you to everyone who is always so supportive of my work on here, it means a lot to me.
Thought I'd do an #introduction I'm Ellie, a #ceramicist specialising in #birds and #wildlife I am #actuallyautistic and trying to be brave by branching out into the big wide world a little more. Figured the best introduction would be one showing off my newest piece out of the kiln, this tree full of the #owls of the UK.
Hello, I guess I should post a short #introduction! I'm a nonbinary, 27 yo digital artist. I'm usually the type to just lurk on social media sites rather than interact with people (social anxiety 😖), but I'm going to try and break out of my shell and post my work here! #pokemon #dragons #creaturedesign #birds #digitalart #artistsofmastodon
some old little banner thingies that i drew in 2020 for my patreon at the time.. i have not been able to keep the patreon properly active for longer than maybe a year unfortunately.. i still like these though
Ok, there was one nice bird. These splendid wrens are difficult to photograph - they are tteeeeeny and move very quickly, and when you do get them the colours are SO bright they look plastic and fake. #birds #birdphotography #nature #photography
Great crested grebes are as wonderful to see in parenting as they are in courtship 🙂 With thanks to Pete Godfrey (Unsplash) for the reference photo. Coloured pencil on hot pressed paper.
My wife and I went to the botanical gardens and I took the opportunity to draw some dusky moorhens. Still got stickers on the brain. It's not quite there yet but I'm getting my head around it. #art #MastoArt #bird #birds #moorhen #DuskyMoorhen
On days 53 & 54 of drawing #animals I started a deep dive on #flamingos trying to assemble a bunch of "flamingo drawing cheat sheets" for myself. The idea was to collect all the information I would need to enable me to draw flamingos without reference in the future. So these contain a bit more details than my usual sketches, crammed unto A3 sheets rather than my usual A4s.
