My final assignment for Scientific Illustration this term.
Having spent a lot of time doing very tight, controlled work it took a lot of courage to just wet the page and let the paint run where it would.
Numbats are one of only two entirely diurnal species of marsupial. Their behavior is heavily influenced by their one prey type: Termites.

Waterproof sepia ink, cerulean, paynes grey and burnt sienna watercolours and white gouache, 8.5x11.5"
Im contemplating doing this as a print. Anyone interested?

This is... wow. ...especially the sky texture that you did, bown, blue, and white :heart:

The semi-abstract, freely-running paint of the backdrop contrasts deliciously with the pain-staking detail of the foreground. In the same stroke, the piece has great color harmony because the sky colors pop up in the rest of the piece.

The fur texture of the close-up numbat is simply divine! :#1: The colors are very rich there, too. Great work.
Glee. Thankyou.

consider the lily, put a squeeze of lemon juice in your bath water and eat some lavender.
I am honoured that the first person that welcomes me and likes my stuff is such a great artist.
I never kiss ass. I am just somewhat overwhelmed.
The only technique I never mastered is water paint.
No control. I control ballpoints. All other media.
The thrill is not to make mistakes.
You dare to make mistakes. That's admirable.

ooh, gorgeous. i'd have to agree with peachfuzz there, not really anything more i could add. i've always wanted to experiment with watercolours.
anyway.
and numbats looks kick-ass. i bet they'd make awesome pets, like anteaters.

Sweet work, I love the atmosphere and the techniques.
