A self portrait
My final life drawing assessment
Stairs in Whanganui
Foreshortening life drawing assessment
🏷️

This is the first assessment from my Life Drawing class that I'm actually kinda proud of, I feel like I've finally worked out how to get more than two values in the charcoal!

a bony foot (this was part of the same assessment as the hand but bc it was sideways i couldn't put it in the same post)

another hand but this time only bones

Updated self portrait, one line and 10 minutes. Looks kinda like me, lost it at the septum piercing tho, just looks like i have 2 septums now (dont even ask about the eye on the left)

First day back at uni woowoo. These are honestly some of the best hands I've drawn and they all had 5 minute time limits and the last two we couldn't even look at the paper...wth

Day one of : draw your beverage

I like this sort of challenge as the prompts are super specific and theyre so helpful at getting me to break through the art block ive been stuck in the past month and a bit (hence why i havent posted the rest of my dinovember, im just not happy with them)

Dinovember x Huevember day 13
Not gonna lie this is the furthest I've ever made it in a draw every day challenge! Today's dino is the Iguanodon (Iguana tooth), an iguanadontia type from the late Jurassic to early Cretaceous periods in what is now Europe (based on the early 21st century taxonomic revision). These dudes were pretty bulky, giving your local gym bro a run for his money with an average of 4.5 metric tonnes in body mass!

Dinovember x Huevember day 12!
Totally forgot to post this yesterday, but it's only a day late this time!
Yesterday's dino is one everyone is familiar with...the Diplodocus (double beam). Yet again a sauropod (big body bb smol head) this guy could get up to 26m long and was the longest dinosaur known for like. aaaaaages. They lived in what is now North America during the late Jurassic period, meaning that they SHOULD be in Jurassic park!

Dinovember x Huevember day 11!
Today we meet the Lambeosaurus (Lambe's Lizard), another hadrosaur (like the parasaurolophus). From what is now North America during the late Cretaceous period, there have been many different types of this dino found across the Americas, however only 2 species found in Canada are considered valid as of now.

Dinovember x Huevember day 10!
Today's dino is the Amargasaurus (La Amarga lizard) from what is now Argentina during the early Cretaceous period. This dude is actually considered small for a sauropod (other well known sauropods being Brachiosaurus and Diplodocus, and we all know how stoopid big they are)

Dinovember x Huevember day 9!
Also slightly late for this one, for day 9 we had the Parasaurolophus (near-crested lizard). From what is now Alberta, Canada, we think this guy made trumpeting sounds using the crest on its head, similar in a way I guess to a duck's warning calls (but louder and more dinosaur-y). The parasaurolophus is from the late Cretaceous period (like every other dinosaur so far I swear)

Dinovember x Huevember day 8!
I know I'm pretty behind on posting (2 days late 🙃), but for this coming week we have the Sauropod buddies (our normally very large herbivores) and the first sauropod is none other than the good ol Brachiosaurus (arm lizard) from what is now North America in the late Jurrassic period!

Dinovember x Huevember day 7!
Our final theropod, today we have the Therizinosaurus (Scythe Lizard)! Now we aren't actually sure if this is what the head would look like, because we are yet to find a skull. This pointy boi was found in what is now the Gobi Desert, and lived in the late Cretaceous period. Because we don't have a skull, we aren't certain if this dino was a herbivore or not, but we think it probably was due to what we have found and the fact that it lines up with a convergent evolution with herbivorous mammals from the Eocene to Pleistocene.

Dinovember x Huevember day 6!
Today is the Utahraptor (Utah's Thief), a theropod from....you guessed it! What is now Utah. This long fingered guy is from the early Cretaceous period, meaning that he and the Spectrovenator from day 2 would've been around at maybe the same time

Prompt list by .kaiju2000

Dinovember x Huevember day 5! Forgot to post this one yesterday, oops
Today is the Spinosaurus (Spine Lizard) The second to last theropod of Dinovember 2022, the spinosaurus is thought to be a more...amphibious dino, hunting in rivers and other bodies of water. Once again from the late Cretaceous period, Spinosaurus lived in what is now Egypt

Dinovember x Huevember day 4!
Today is the Carnotaurus (Meat-Eating Bull) Yet another theropod, this dude has silly little arms and is from what is now South America, although he lived during the late Cretaceous period, so no need to worry about running into him any time soon!

Prompt list by .kaiju2000

Huevember x Dinovember day 3!
Fully almost forgot to post this one lol, but today we have the Gojirasaurus (Godzilla Lizard). Sticking with the Theropod theme this first week, this guy is from the Triassic period, and is one of the largest carnivorous dinos from that period. It was found in what is now New Mexico

Prompt list is from .kaiju2000

Huevember and Dinovember day 2!
Today is a Spectrovenator, (Ghost Hunter) which is another Theropod from the Early Cretaceous period in what is now Brazil

I got my prompt list from

Huevember and Dinovember day 1!
Today is a Tyrannosaurus Rex, because how can you do Dinovember without starting with a classic!

Like the title says, this is a data visualisation of the different types of dinosaurs i told my partner about over 4 weeks. Because I'm a total nerd, I had to group the dinosaurs into more general categories otherwise it'd be such an overwhelming mess

I made some dinosaurs for my partner’s birthday and finally got to give them to him after like. A month of having to wait.

My awesome parcel all the way from Hay, NSW arrived! Thank you so much Carly She was even kind enough to send me all of the colour ways in her outlander collection in minis! I can’t wait to find something to make with them, I’m thinking a shawl or blanket (not pictured are the postcards, tea, chocolate and other cool stuff she sent)

Photos from Hobbiton spring last year. The weather was lovely, if not squishy underfoot

I got tipsy and one of my flatmates was roasting something last winter, so I took some photos because I thought the oven light looked pretty. They’re blurry because once again I didn’t use my tripod

Some nice spring evening photos from late last year

Moreeee photos!! Moooreeeee sunsets!!! And a CLOUD(and a flatmate)
