#13endemics

[samuelhumphreys]

I've been waiting a long time for these UniPin 0.03mm pens to arrive. Now my lines will be getting even finer! Which is good news for things like detailing a bird's eye, adding depth to shadows and crosshatching, finer feather details, and all that good stuff. But I can't help but think of the negatives, things like severe hand cramps, higher possibility of carpal tunnel syndrome, earlier onset of every artist's worst nightmare; presbyopia, posture issues and all the other stuff that comes with sitting for hours on end with your head 15cm from the page. I'm looking forward to an early onset of all the signs of old age....all because I like to draw birds! -- #13endemics #unipin #penandink #pigmentink #inkwork #blacklines #linework #illustration #birdart #naturalhistory #illustrator #birds #birdsofthetropics https://www.instagram.com/p/BrWvYzVHHdP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sjyn8u47bml8

You've gotta have relativity in the photos you take of your art. Otherwise, it's just floating in space. -- Here's my thumb for relative size. BUT I should warn you that my thumb is not a good indicator of the average human thumb size. It is relative to no other human's thumb ever known to history. Orangutan, maybe, but certainly not human. -- #orang-uthumb #orangutandrawingbirds #birdart #athertonscrubwren #13endemics #endemic #wettropics #thewettropics #atherton #athertontablelands #bird #illustration #blacklines #naturalhistory #art (at Wet Tropics World Heritage Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/Brhu_rEHxLR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vm5cvorbci5e
