Small gouache painting of a pigeon looking down at you from above. They're lit from below, too, very menacing-like.

There's a cat under a fuzzy blue blanket but all you can see is one of his little back paws sticking out

#art #gouache #birds #pigeon #pigeonsky
messy gouache portrait of a pigeon all puffed up and looking at you. You can see gaps between their feathers in their neck where they're puffing. The background is very messy with paint strokes visible and is a spring green. The pigeon is mostly grey with some iridescence visible.

I really like this one. I can't believe the background turned out so well

Gouache painting of a pigeon perched on a rock, looking at you over their shoulder. There's a strong blue shadow on the left and some iridescence on the neck. Behind the pigeon is a field of yellow flowers, a drop, and then a forest canopy in the distant background below.

QRP your birds!
#art #birds
Ink drawing of a green jay looking coyly over their shoulder at you. Watercolor painting of a great blue heron on a green and blue granulating background. The painting is full of Ultramarine Blue. Watercolor painting of a mourning dove on a messy, bloomy watercolor background. The dove is lit from the left and the wing has some nice hard edges that I'm really pleased with. Gouache painting of a pigeon looking at you, if I'm being honest, with bedroom eyes and a coy smile. The background is peachy pink and there's some green/magenta iridescence in the bird's neck.

Found an old folder full of color studies from 2023. I forgot I was doing that! I should pick it up again.

Don't remember the provenance of the references anymore. The last two are probably from the Warrior Painters discord.

simple digital painting of a glass teapot full of red tea and a dish with chocolate squares Digital painting of a backlit lemon wedge. Still very chunky brush strokes. Digital painting of a cat skull on a christmas tree. There's a light inside the skull backlighting the nose and eye sockets. The brush strokes are blocky

Since this was a bit of a hit, here's some more embarrassing oekaki art from 2007 :)
This was my other tryout for the "advanced" oekaki board, which required that you do Shading and A Background, both things that I was very shaky with. I was not accepted. (Put me in, coach! I can do it now!!)
#art
Childhood digital painting of an enormous (??) blue cat next to a rough-looking tree, standing on a Windows-XP-style "green hill with blue sky and clouds" background. I signed it with a copyright again. All the shading is done with an airbrush or very soft round brush.

this is 2007 I think but I wanted to share that I was the catgirl equivalent
small digital drawing by me as a kid of an orange cat lying down on a branch of a tree that doesn't make much sense. The lines are pixely but the shading is airbrushy and non-specific. I signed it with a copyright sign.

They gave us little 5.5 x 8.5 pages to type on and I instantly went "wait, let me fold this into eighths".
Then I just typed what came to mind. I think it turned out good!
(typos and errors fixed for alt text. All of this is written haphazardly on a typewriter) I have approximate knowledge of how a typewriter works from when I was a kid My dad had some kind of old spiderly machine and I loved to play with getting the keys all stuck in the middle when you press them at the same time. The limitations of a physical mechanism - all these little levers going to the same place. There is of course a joy in a physical mechanism and how its limitations drive from the actual physicality of the device itself. Form and function more close than we're used to now... For instance, I just spent like a billion years solving the simplest logic puzzle: how do I flip this paper so I can write upside down on this side of the page? The physicality of the paper and the tool of the typewriter carriage are both the puzzle and the solution. "Reading the card explains the card" but for the literal 3d space of the page and the machine. And I struggled on page 2 back there trying to type in the margin when the machine didn't want to let me. Got too close to the edge! The "squiggly red line" of the typewriter is it simply not letting you. There's no "right click, ignore" here. (this is in red) Oh ho ho I just found the red ribbon switch!! Very cool! THE VERY WORD OF GOD or whatever. I have jammed these keys quite a bit already hahaha. It's funny to see the ribbon jumping up to catch the lever before it hits the page. It's more dramatic for the red, which is at the bottom of the two-color ribbon. Also note: I have finally found the apostrophe (it is on top of the 8 key, of course) I still have yet to find the numeral one though! Is it a lowercase L? (back cover) I remember more than I thought I would when placed in front of a new typewriter again. I'm happy to have been able to revisit the memory! :) xoxo Taterdash
