The Toucan is a striking bird species with large colourful bills. They can grow up to a whopping 65cm with bills up to 20cm; giving them the prize for the bird with the largest bill when compared to it’s body size. They can also live up to around 20 years. Media: Copic Markers, Coloured Pencil, […]
Revisiting this majestic Chilean bird once again. The Andean Condor, a resident of the Andes. It is the largest flying bird in the world by combined measurement of weight & wingspan. Its wingspan can each up to 3.3m (10ft 10in). It is one of the longest lived birds with lifespans of up to 70 years. […]
Another fun little sketch to while away the day and keep up the practice I tried a different technique of layering markers from light to dark, which although turned out OK in the end was probably unnecessarily wasteful. But hey, this is how we learn, right? About the Andean Mountain Cat The Andean Mountain Cat […]
Went back to ink & Copic markers for a spell to finish off a drawing I had started about a month ago.

They’re nocturnal carnivorous predators and […]

Trying a little something more involved with the white gel pens, and the tapir is the perfect subject.Did you know they can project pee up to three meters behind them? Crazy
Finally managed to polish this piece. I had been working on it on and off for a few months now and managed to use up a couple of nibs on both the Pogo and the Pencil. Glad that it’s finally down now though and I think it turned out pretty good. What do you think? […]
I’ve always found Toucans to be one of the world’s most striking and recognisable birds. Their colour and contrast make for great subjects. Doodling in the Paper app for iPad (fiftythree.com).
Qetzal was inspired by Aztec culture and heiroglyphs. It is also the Nahuatl (Aztec) name for a particular bird native to Central and South America. With this cursor design I was mainly experimenting with rendering gold and precious gems but I really wanted to come up with something completely different and out of the ordinary, […]
