Bats are really bizarre and hard to draw! Here’s the result of the strange mashup of a giant flying fox and the cacao plant. #botanimals #botanimal #flyingfox #flyingfoxes #bat #batart #batdrawing #inktober #cacao #cacaoplant #seedpods #cacaofruit #mashup #weirdcreatures #micronpen

This one turned out sort of dreamy, is it a bird or a flower? Pretty hard to tell because of the beautiful long spatuletail this hummingbird has. Thank you #botanimals for introducing me to another animal I didn’t know existed! Oops I just realized I mixed up the flower on this one! I guess I’ll do tapir and plum blossom tomorrow :) #hummingbird #spatuletail #spatuletailhummingbird #troutlily #inktober #flower ##botanimal #inkdrawing #drawingchallenge #dreamy #micronpen #rarespecies ...

Back after a bit of an instagram hiatus with Mountain Goat & Sunflower! I took a new approach to this one, combining flowers with more of an abstract approach. #botanimals #botanimal #mountaingoat #mountaingoats #goat #goatart #inkdrawing #inktober #mashup #sunflower #sunflowers #flowers #stripes

Catching up on Bushtail possum and honey fungus. Another weird one? #botanimals #botanimal #bushtailpossum #possum #mushroom #honeyfungus #mashup #micronpen #weirdmushrooms #fungus

The bearded vulture was a wonderful discovery for me, I hadn’t ever seen this beautiful bird until I looked it up for this challenge. The result of my mashup of bearded vulture with Sumac is a weird one, but I think it works really well from a distance. The closer you get, the stranger it becomes? #botanimals #botanimal #beardedvulture #vulture #sumac #mashup #inktober #inkdrawing #blackandwhite #birdhead #birdart #vultureart #drawingchallenge

This #strawberry #warthog is so #punkrock, I love it! Kept this one simple, no shading, and honestly I really like that about it. These #botanimals #drawingchallenges keep #surprising me. #botanimal #inkdrawing #inktober #mashup

2 in 1 image! Badger & Monkshood, Kangaroo rat & Impatiens. It was really tempting to add color to the Monkshood, but my goal is to keep it all black and white. The shapes of the Monkshood petals become more abstract this way. Without being blue/purple, it’s hard to identify that that’s Monkshood. #kangaroorat #badgersarecute #badger #impatiens #monkshood #flowers #botanimals #botanimal #inktober #drawingchallenge #blackandwhite #micronpen #sharpieart

Playing around with watercolor markers and a fine tipped inkpen that blends beautifully when water is added to it. #watercolormarkers #rainbowcolors #loopy #colorblending #watercolorandpen #abstractart

It’s hard to be fierce when your frills are made of delicate flower petals. #botanimals #mashup #frilledlizard #frillednecklizard #fouroclocks #lizard #flower #inktober #sharpiepen #leaves #reptile #lizardart
