| 7. Scribbled Fin-fluencer - this is what I saw in the monthly scribble for ScribbleIntoArt, done in Procreate |
|
8. Yapok - or the
Water
Opossum is the only aquatic masupial (pungdjur) in the world. Both
the male and the female have pouches on their belly, the female have a
waterproof pouch for the babies and the male uses his pouch to protect
his testicales when he dives.... This is an A4 watercolour on smooth paper. |

| 9. Parakeet - for the TuesdayCollective bird week, this budgie was made in polymer clay (Super sculpey) and then painted and photographed. |
| 17. Crookshanks - well, this isn't really based on a challege, and I may just have to create the Magical Menagerie to complete the Potion shop and Honeydukes. Crookshanks was made in polymer clay (Super sculpey) with black glass beads for eyes, I made it in several layers that I cured and that is a great way to add details. After baking the figure, I painted it. |
Making it in layers so you can build a solid foundation and then focus on one area without smushing everything
| 20. Honey bee - for the TuesdayCollective bug week, this is a 20x20 cm oil painting |
As usual a bit hard to photograph, this is from another angle and light
| 21. Soft goat - wool scarf, simple ink drawing on A5 paper, for the TuesdayCollective in combination with the SarcasticLetteringChallenge |
