The African harrier-hawk. I love them, I never see anyone draw them, so I drew one!

I really love this bird, and I really want to share them. I'm also begging for reposts because of this. rePOST OR ELSE- /j

African Harrier Hawk or Gymnogene, Polyboroides typus

Flew over my house about half an hour ago. Grabbed my camera and ran out, got a few shots before it went out of sight.

African Harrier Hawk (Polyboroides typus)

The African harrier hawk is one of only two birds of prey that has double-jointed knees. It uses these joints to hunt animals in cracks and holes in cliffsides and trees. One of its favored foods is the sociable weaver (Geranospiza caerulescen), which creates massive nests with other members of its species. Nom nom nom.

Hiii again!!! •v•

Alright alright, so, I tried this free application called Photopea. It's an Adobe Photoshop clone, and honestly I thought it was going to be a bit better.

Okay, so the first time I used Photopea, it wasn't very great. For the first couple of minutes it was fine but then it started to become laggy for me, it would take time to undo, there was a noticeable lag in moving the canvas, it even froze at some points.

(First drawing on my tablet.)

I was using this in browser, I didn't download it. Maybe that was the issue? After the first drawing, I decided to try on a different device(because honestly, I kinda forgot I could download it.)

My second time using this, which was now on my phone(first time I used my tablet), it was honestly quite a bit better. Not great still, but I wouldn't get any freezing. I did notice that I would still get a bit of lag, in moving the canvas and undoing pen strokes.

(Second drawing on my phone.)

All of this could just because I have bad internet, or that it's just not a drawing application, because it's photo editing but y'know, it's a photoshop clone. I wanna draw.

I honestly doubt I will use Photopea again, unless I learn whatever I did wrong so it's not as bad to use. It was okay, but unfortunately not good.

Anyways anyways, I hope you all enjoy this! Cheers!!! ♡♡♡
