i love animal portraits. i am definitely going to draw a bunch more (like the wattled smoky honeyeater). this blog has done wonders for my imagination and creativity but little to change my laziness. i have so many series of drawings in mind, but never have time (slash desire [slash the wherewithal]) to execute them.

siiiigh.
