I finished this piece on my livestream earlier this week. It's a Night Heron.

It was suggested to me as a subject by a patron to my booth this last year. They're pretty common here in the area I live because there's a lot of marshes and we're along the Redwood Coast in northern California.

I'd never heard of Night Herons before. In my head, they were creep and scary. But when I finally saw a picture of one, they were the cutest little hunched over things I'd seen! They reminded me of plushie toys for some reason. So cute!

So here in my Night Heron in phone wallpaper form. I do all my work in Procreate on my iPad Pro, and this piece took 3868 strokes of my Apple pencil and 2hr34min to make.
