Self initiated wildlife studies.
A self initiated personal project where I aimed to draw an animal a day for 100 days. The project helped me to loosen up my drawing skills daily and attempting a diverse range of animals I hadn’t drawn before was both challenging and fun. Follow me on Instagram for frequent posts and more personal projects like this.
Selected flower and plant species studies.
Ongoing personal work.
