Hey. To anyone who cares or has liked my art in the past, I'm sorry this is so different. I recently got into a drawing class and I am really loving working with pencils and shading. I think I'm doing really well! I am a lot better working with realism from a reference image than I was making cartoon stuff, and I'm a lot happier doing it. With that being said, I present to you some ducks on the Puget Sound.

I live in Washington basically right on the Sound. It is beautiful for the most part, except for humans making it all gunky. I love going downtown to the boardwalk and hoping to see a seal poke its head out among the boats in the marina, or going to the Nisqually Nature Preserve and seeing all the fantastic birds. I've even seen a weasel out there!

I was scrolling through r/olympia on reddit and came across this post: link . Inspired, I wanted to draw it to practice my shading skills. However I don't just have drawing paper lying around so I decided, "Hey, why not try it digitally?" So I found someone who had made a pencil brush for FireAlpaca (my art program) (I'm sorry I don't remember who it was!) and went to work. There was a massive learning curve and I had to figure out how the brush worked and hwo it compares to pencil on paper, but the end result is well worth it.

I would absolutely love to sell this as a print, but I'm not 100% sure if that is copyright infringement and I don't feel like getting in trouble, so if anyone can give me a definite OK or tell me how to go about getting the OK, please let me know!
