My parents have had this gorgeous fox living in their backyard for a couple weeks, but it finally came close enough to the house for my mom to get some good pictures! Hope this brightens everyone’s day like it did mine!

Reviving my animal ear reference I made last year.
Studying reference can really upgrade your artwork and character designs. Sketch over ref photos to break down those shapes and understand the differences between breeds and species. :)

This might just be a nitpicky thing but i see a lot of pigeons drawn with budgie noses. They dont have budgie noses! They look so weird to me drawn with their nostrils on top of the cere (white part of the nose)
Their nostrils are right above their mouths under the little fold. I always recommend looking at references for the species that youre drawing. Personally I doodle without a reference pretty often and i have a decent idea of what a pigeon looks like in my minds eye but ill always do better with references. I usually just look up pigeons on google and leave the image search results open while i draw.

Pictured are Tarot and Cloud, my homing pigeons.

I got sick and tired of not knowing how to draw animals so...I sat myself down and actually did something about it

Painting and the reference:)))
This is one of the few attempts at character design from me, but I yearn for more

Bro, my attachment issues are so bad, that you could probably go “pspspspsps” and I’d get the instinct to come over. 😭
