Fantasy insect drawing

Oodles of doodles of my penguin pals…

Jelly gouache and Posca pen on magnetic paper. This little tiger is living as a fridge magnet now.

Many beginnings. Beginning 5. Frederick was contemplating geese flying south for winter and dreaming about moving to Florida. * Starting is easy, it's the middle that is often a muddle.
