There's a group of pigeons in my zone that always fly over my home, some of them stop by my window, and som in my balcony.

Today there's a pigeon is stuck in my balcony, I think it's a female, she slammed herself in my window escaping from a hawk 6 hours ago and since then she hasn't moved.

She can flap her wings but can't fly past an inch from the floor. I tried to give her food and water, even a cardboard box but she's scared and I'm afraid she can jump, fall and injure herself even more.

I tried to get close and she almost threw herself to the void. I just hope she gets better tomorrow.

I've been procrastinating reading for my exam that's in two days, but I've been inspired to draw one of my favorite Arcane characters, Lest.

While I'm working on everything I have due, here's a pic of a moth I found.

I used Google image search and this are the results I got:

It was outside a café, I've never seen a moth like those in my city, so it was really nice to see one.

a bee on a rosemary flower.

I have to admit I selected the reference picture thinking it was a different type of bird, even though guinea fowl is a bird I've seen many many times, that's why I didn't make dots on the bigger pic lol I was too lazy to repaint it.

I think I made this last year too, it's been a while since I tried digital art.

Last year I downloaded an app called Bird Alone and I got so attached to my parrot (I named him Michelangelo 💗) that I had to draw him to keep his memory alive after he passed away.

I've never had a pet parrot because my cats couldn't cohexisted with small animals without eating them, so I enjoyed a lot this app.

It's funny how easily I could get attached to an animal that's not even real. 💔

This is my profile pic, I loved this statue when I visited a church (Basilica) with my family.

The architecture was stunning and there were many saints made from carved wood, old paintings and some memories made for deceased people (the oldest dating from the late 1800s, if I remember correctly).

I'll show some pictures of my favorite artworks.

I remember going to church when I was young and seeing the inside of the building covered in colors, very illuminated because of the lights passing through the stained glass. I love it.

These were wooden statues, really pretty.

And last but not least, I think these are marble statues, but it may be just me.

Well my eyes are a bit sore, too much screen time. Now goodbye to anyone seeing this. 🌤️

This is a digital drawing I made on Ibis Paint during my time obsessing over praying mantis. It took me a few days because I'm usually a traditional artist so it was hard for me to work with digital tools.

I remember being inspired in someone else's art styles, I don't remember exactly who, but I know they used pictures of different stuff to create textures, just like I used newspaper, glitter and more.

I really enjoyed their art, even though I saw only one video of their art, I hope to find them.

I always felt like everything I created had a piece of me, which made it hard for me to share it with people, even the closest ones, in fear of what they'd think. If they didn't like what I created it felt as if they didn't like a piece of me, it's a weird feeling.

Now that I identified the feeling I'm a lot better, I know it's just a projection of different troubles I probably have, and I'm starting to show my art to people knowing it's my creation and I enjoyed the process and that's what matters anyways.

I'm bored, maybe I'll post something else later. 🪶

I think I might be showing my collection of feathers here, but not now, I'm about to say goodnight.

I just wanted to post something here.

This is one of my drawings, I never color them because I don't like it, to me it's hard to paint them without it looking different for what I wanted them to.

I like the praying mantis, they look like an otherworldly creature, so pretty.

I think this is it for tonight.
