Day 25

So, since I haven't finished my ring-tailed lemur sketch I felt it necessary to finish a sketch today. This is another baby pygmy hippo. I used everything I could get my hands on in the studio: pastel, charcoal, gouache, pencil...

I've never experienced wanting to spend multiple sittings on a sketch. This is the one that has changed that (along with the other endangered/baby chick sketches). I am truly enjoying
working on this one.

Day 7: Roseate Spoonbill, 12x9"

Roseate Spoonbill, you are one interesting looking dude. Their deep pink coloring is similar to a flamingo. They use their unusual beak to feed on crustaceans by swinging it from side to side as it steadily walks through the water.

Project IV Day 18: Turkey Vulture (again)

I can't stop with the Turkey Vultures. I think I might have been one in a past life. Is that why I'm such a dirtbag ?

Project IV Day 25: Hoatzin Nestling

Yes, this guy does indeed exist. He is a Hoatzin nestling. One thing you should know about these birds is that they are born with two claws on each wing. They are clumsy in flight and use these claws to climb about in their native swamps of Venezuela and Guyana. Once they reach adulthood, they those their claws. Dinosaur times-style.
