久しぶりです!!! I haven't been able to really do art since the unexpected death of a family member at the beginning of this year, but Inktober has always been a time of healing for me, so it only seems appropriate to begin posting again now. I'm tackling two prompt lists this year: the official Inktober prompt list and the ZooInktober prompts. 嬉しくなるといいです!!! Numbats are endangered animals from Australia. They have long, sticky tongues they use to catch termites. Though they're also known as banded anteaters, they don't regularly eat ants!! You can learn more about them by checking out our Animal Fact Files episode on them: https://tinyurl.com/yy4nudyt Ring-necked doves are also really cool!! They have multiple broods per year and reuse their nests. #inktober2019 #inktober #zooinktober #day1 #inktoberday1 #numbat #dove #ringneckeddove #art #traditional #traditionalart #animal #animalart #animals #coloredpencil #coloredpencil_art https://www.instagram.com/p/B3GR-mbjMho/?igshid=1ueznhxh8tcjd
