Yesterday, we painted a kiwi. We named him Burt.

Next week, we'll do an ante mortem tribute to Jonathan the tortoise (it's a long story). It'll be fun!

I painted this pear to test a new brush set I got for Procreate. The painting is pretti mid, but the brushes are great. So much details! I'm looking forward using them more!!

If you're interested, it's "perfect oils" by eldar zakirov!

Painting of a white and orange tuxedo cat peeking out a window

Yesterday, on our stream, we STRUGGLED with the shadows. Looking at them this morning, still not sure they're correct! 😅

Anyone know a good paper that is visually very similar to Hahnemuhle Photorag but is thinner (and cheaper)? Our printer makes us manually load thick gsm paper one sheet at a time and it's cumbersome for testing a bunch of prints at once!

I have great news!!

After a fairly long pause, we're launching this borb (yes, borb. If you know, you know), aptly named "Majestic Fat Bird" this Thursday! Very exciting!

Head to www.theuglycat.com/borb to check it out!

Once again, I started painting my fave subject, my cat Woodhouse!

I still have some work to do, but it's coming along! I think the eyes are pretty good!

Thank you!!

Thank you! The neck feathers were my favourite part to paint. All those blues and purples 🪶✨

Painting of a can of maple syrup

Yesterday, on r/sketchdaily, the prompt was "maple syrup"!

My grandfather had a sugar shack when I was a kid, so I grew up making (and eating) maple syrup! Such good memories!

I'm apparently in my horse girl era!!

In our livestream yesterday , we did this week's inktober52. The prompt was horse, so we painted Bucephalus, Alexander the Great's horse.

Portrait of secretariat the race horse on a blue and green background

Today's r/sketchdaily prompt is "Thursdays in History: The selling of Secretariat"

I don't know much about him, but I took it as a good opportunity to draw a horse!

I was looking through my procreate gallery, and I had forgotten I had started this painting of Woodhouse! He his by far my favorite subject so I have a lot of unfinished painting of him! 😅

Painting of a ferret on a white background

I like how inktober forced me out of my comfort zone a bit, and I want to keep it going. So I'm gonna try to do reddit's sketch daily once or twice a week.

So here's today's prompt: Stinky!!

So here's a WIP of a sleepy cat I saw in Taipei!
