Howdy, you can call me Leaf!! I’m a graphic design student in the US, and I’ve been making art for most of my life. I like to use a variety of mediums, such as watercolors, inks, digital, and others!! I love drawing things from nature, fantasy, character art, and sketches/ doodles :)

I eventually hope to have some of my work up on a print on demand site, and will update this when that happens, along with a specific post. I decided to switch my art tag, one that hopefully will be more reliable than #leaves.&.inks (the old one worked only sometimes). Don’t worry if there was a specific piece you were trying to find under the old tag; it’s still up and I reposted it under the new one as well :D

remaking this post because things have been financially difficult and there’s a lot of uncertainty with my roommates job (if they’ll have a job or be let go for the summer and the following school year) and the struggles of job searching for me. it’s getting increasingly more difficult for my roommate and I to afford basic necessities to get by so if you are in a position where you can donate we would greatly appreciate it. that being said please never feel obligated to donate especially if you cannot afford to right now! reblogs are greatly appreciated!

[ID: Digital illustration with some unnatural posing and proportions floating over a dark green rectangle on an off white background. Its head faces down to the center right, the majority of its body following the same angle. its front two legs are angled down, its right leg slightly drawn up. Its left long, side spike is unnaturally bent to stay in the frame. Its back legs are gathered underneath it, and its spiky tail is bent at unnatural angles, filling up space in the top left corner. In the bottom left corner is a watermark reading “LEAVES AND INKS” /end ID]

I love fossils that are so remarkably well preserved we know exactly what they look like and even what color they are gotta be one of my favorite genders

[ID: Digital Illustration of a Brachiosaurus with unnatural posing floating over a light blue/purple rectangle on an off-white background. The brachiosaurus has sparse quill-like structures along its spine, starting behind the head, and brealing up mosway down the neck and back. Its head faces left, its neck turned into a circular shape. it sits above one outstretched front leg, the other more straight behind that. its back legs are more bunched gathered underneath the brachiosaurus. Its relatively short tail sits underneath its body. The sauropod has a light color pallette, with a pink head (other than yellow air sacs leading to the nostrils) that goes down the spine to the tail. the ends of its legs are blue, and the rest of its body yellow either striping. in the upper left corner is a watermark reading: “LEAVES AND INKS” /end ID]

i heard that some recent discussion around brachiosaurus involves the nostrils looking a bit different these days, so I went for adding soft tissue to bring them more to the front of its face above the mouth like many animals. I also saw some paleoart of them with quill-like feathers, and ran with that in my design as well. I really enjoy the theory of feathers being a trait that dinosaurs started out with and then lost over time depending on the species, so I wanted to pay homage to that

[ID: Digital Illustration of a deinonychus in an unnatural pose floating on top of a deep red rectangle on an off-white background. It faces right, its mouth open. Its neck is coiled back, one arm reaching forward while the other is tucked at its side. one leg is more forward than the other, kicking in tandem with the outstretched arm. Its tail is bent underneath it, eventually parallel with its curved back. Its feathering and coloration is based off the bearded vulture, having a tuft underneath its jaw and along its brow. Irs tail is darker at the end and has faint striping. In the bottom left corner is a watermark reading: “LEAVES AND INKS” /end ID]

[ID: digital illustration of a green tenontosaurus floating in an unnatural pose over a cyan rectangle on an off white background. Its head faces right, beak open and its upper body is below the lower body, one arm raised. its body twists around to form a reversed C shape, one back leg gathered at its side the other down pointed towards its head. its tail curves above it, following the contour of its body back down to the right side ending midway up its ribs. It has a lighter skin tomes head that matches a lower neck frill and frill running from its head to midway down its back. Above its eye is a bony structure, and lower down its back are spikes that run nearly to the end of the tail in the same color.
