SKELETONS
A whole bunch of skeletons, drawn with ink, some in black, others with a bit of colour. They're goofy and sketchy.

The Map Crow channel just surpased 100k subscribers! Thank you everyone who has watched one of my videos or shared kind words about them!

It's been a strange year, but I'm doing very well! I don't know when I'll make more videos, but I hope I can make some more by the end of the year!

weird painting to test out my new inking pen ☀️
watercolor painting- a woman kneels behind a bush, carrying an approximation of an antique musket/rifle (I did not look at reference for this one so the shape is a bit off lol sorry everybody!). She is wearing a wildly impractical but fun outfit- a high cut onepiece with baggy ankle boots, a helmet and a big swan hat/cape.
