DutchOrca

Journal page for World Okapi Day that I still have to finish. Okapi’s are one of my favorite animals and I got to see them a few years ago in Rotterdam. I’m really pleased with how it turned out, especially the calf on the right but I’m gathering enough courage to color it. I’m afraid I’ll mess it up! #artjournal #okapi #worldokapiday #inkdrawing https://www.instagram.com/p/CHP05wUB5_A/?igshid=1tg27lpfo8mol

#inktober2020 nr. 8: L124 Whistle, born in 2018, the third calf of L77 Matia. The Southern Residents are starving to death before our eyes. We have to take action now; breach the dams, ban salmon fishing and stop the pipelines! Check out pnwprotectors.com, damsense.org and whaleresearch.com for more information on how you can help. This is up to us! #artistsoninstagram #killerwhale #orca #southernresidentkillerwhales #inktober #inkdrawing #inktober2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CGQWpi4B36R/?igshid=1ar1ja8olaaq9

#inktober2020 nr. 7: J16 Slick, still my favorite whale. Slick is one of the oldest members of the Southern Residents, estimated to have born in 1972 just before the start of the still ongoing study. I have some catching up to do! Tried something new with the light streaming through the water, not entirely satisfied with how it turned out but I like it.

#inktober2020 nr. 6: J41 Eclipse and her new baby J58, born September 24! Like this year’s other baby J57, this calf will be named once it has survived a year. It’s unknown whether this calf is male or female. The Southern Residents are starving to death before our eyes. We have to take action now; breach the dams, ban salmon fishing and stop the pipelines!

I know I haven’t posted in a while but let’s do this! Little rusty drawing orca’s and stippling but that’s what the challenge is for, right? #inktober2020 nr. 1: K20 Spock and K16 Opus. I had drawn Spock before but since she’s my current adoption orca I thought I’d start this year’s InkTober with her. Getting close to having drawn all current living Southern Residents and looking forward to adding some well-known deceased whales because the plan is to draw every Southern Resident orca!
