Does anyone have any paper recommedations for Copics? I hate standard marker paper, it's much too thin and flimsy :( I typically use Bristol Board, but it still sinks through + I'd like something ivory/less white for a warmer finish. Additional tips welcome! Thanks :) #copicmarker #copic #copicart

Canary ❤️‍ I think I favour drawing mammals as I like drawing hair, but birds are fun too! For any of my fellow animal artists, do any of you have a type of animal you like drawing the most? #animalart #birdart #SciArt #art #cuteart #canary #creatureart #petportrait #illustration

Don't think I ever posted the finished version of this. A charcoal portrait, one of this year's Christmas orders :) #petpotrait #animalart #dogart #dogsofbluesky #frenchbulldog #bulldog #frenchbully #art #charcoal #dog #cuteart

WIP of Homotherium. I loved the colour of that frozen cub they found and wanted to try it out. I'm very new to soft pastel as a medium but enjoying it. Critique on how to improve my use of colour and soft pastel is welcome! #paleoart #animalart #SciArt #naturalhistoryart #creatureart #wip #art

A bit of a different pet portrait for me. Watercolour on board. #dogart #petportrait #animalart #dogsofbluesky #pets #art #watercolor #watercolour

Kitty toons! Probably my most popular and economic pet portrait style and available for any animal, feel free to get in touch if you'd like one of your own! 🐱 #catart #cat #catsofbluesky #petportrait #animalart #cuteart #creatureart #pet #art #illustration #cartoonart #cute
