#MeowMay 15 &16- Comfy, Anemone

Another combo (bit pressed for time this week)! Comfy clownfish kitty napping in their favourite bed.

Clownfish are immune to anemone’s stings coz of a special mucous membrane, meaning they get to hang out there undisturbed!

Pink cat with two tails.

Playing with acrylic gouache, still feels weird to me as a paint.

Maybe because it’s so touted as having a flat finish and in my head, flat means REALLY flat and I have trouble reconciling the difference.

I don’t usually paint fruit but this was a fun study based off a ref pic from Drawdailytogether.

Quick question- what app are you using for #mastodon now?

I’m still using Metatext but I feel like I’m missing some stuff and I wonder if I need to switch to a newer app (iOS)?

The Year of the Dragon is coming up so I made a little drawing video showing how to draw the Eastern dragon from ‘Amy Wu & the Patchwork Dragon’ 🐉.

Hope this will be a fun & helpful vid for parents, educators & whoever wants to draw a dragon!

So this was one of the graphic novels I enjoyed yesterday, by @grickle . It’s a series of creepy short story comics . I loved them all although the 2nd last one is particularly… memorable.

The thing on the stairs, that’s all I’ll say 😅. You go read it to find out more!

Aside from the creepy fun, I really adore the way he draws the outdoors? Like this lovely full page of a character walking from the house to the shed.
