As promised, here are the before and after photos for my 30th and final “sketch” of my small project! As you can see, i live la vie très chic.
I just finished school, so i’ve got time! Do you have suggestions for a new project for me to work on?

30 Days of Sketches: Day 30
Humpback
30 minutes, sketchbook, acrylic paints.
I love whales. They are super cool. This is a humpback whale. Humpback whales are super weird looking, but at the same time, they’re so beautiful. They’re fantastic.
This is what Wikipedia has to say about them:
The humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) is a species of baleen whale. One of the larger rorqual species, adults range in length from 12–16 metres (39–52 ft) and weigh approximately 36,000 kilograms (79,000 lb). The humpback has a distinctive body shape, with unusually long pectoral fins and a knobbly head. It is an acrobatic animal, often breaching and slapping the water. Males produce a complex song, which lasts for 10 to 20 minutes and is repeated for hours at a time. The purpose of the song is not yet clear, although it appears to have a role in mating.
Ahh! So cool.
Anyway, i thought that i’d end this “project” of sorts with something big. Like a whale!
Also, i had a whale of a good time doing this!
As a bonus for the last day of this project, before and after photos to come!

Hedgehog
10 minutes, sketchbook, fine-point uni-ball Vision Needle.
A hedgehog is any of the spiny mammals of the subfamily Erinaceinae and the order Erinaceomorpha. There are 17 species of hedgehog in five genera, found through parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, and New Zealand (by introduction). There are no hedgehogs native to Australia, and no living species native to the Americas. Hedgehogs share distant ancestry with shrews (order Soricidae), with gymnures possibly being the intermediate link, and have changed little over the last 15 million years. Like many of the first mammals they have adapted to a nocturnal, insectivorous way of life. Hedgehogs’ spiny protection resembles that of the unrelated rodent porcupines and monotreme echidnas.
Hedgehogs are my favorite animal that i am not legally allowed to own. You see, in my state of Georgia in the United States, one is not allowed to own a hedgehog as a pet! However, you can get a licence to breed hedgehogs. I would so get a hedgehog like that if i were legally allowed to. Man. For real. Love those hedgehogs.
They also have an uncanny ability to be adorable while at the same time always appearing a little angry.

Top Hat

This is a top hat, and if you Google “hat,” top hats and fedoras are the number one results. Google is so stylish!

Rough Green
5 minutes, sketchbook, seafoam-green Crayola Super Tips marker.
It’s funny how snakes can look angry just because of how their scales are. They don’t even have eyebrows! This one is a North American rough green snake, also known as a grass snake or a green grass snake, unrelated to the European grass snake.

Barred Owl
15 minutes, sketchbook, fine-point uni-ball Vision Needle.
The Barred Owl (Strix varia) is a large typical owl native to North America. It goes by many other names, including Eight Hooter, Rain Owl, Wood Owl, and Striped Owl, but is probably best known as the Hoot Owl based on its call.
I’ve been doing not much since my last day of class on Monday. This next Monday, though i’ve got my last finals. I have a plan about my Portuguese studying; you all will know if it comes to fruition. (How mysterious!)
