The crows have all but taken over. In fact, I'm waiting on one now ;)
...I've been feeding crows, chasing them, calling them, counting them (yes, that was on purpose for you 90's kids out there like

Step 2: Outline critical components with pen (I got these pens mad cheap on Temu and they're really great, by the way). For the colored part on this one, I used watercolor pencils.

All avatar drawing posts will be set to also benefit the original owner. These days my posts are set to 100% Power Up...not sure if that will apply to beneficiaries or not.
Thanks for checking out some more of my work! As always, I hope you enjoyed witnessing as much as I enjoyed creating!
