For many artists like myself, October = #Inktober. This year though, I wanted to make my own little series (& prompts): Safe & Sound. My goal is to raise more awareness regarding the animals that are currently in danger or close to being extinct! I will draw & paint the listed animals, safe & sound in their natural habitat, in the hopes that one day they can truly be out of harm's way & free from any sort of oppression. 

I got most of my information from @wwf since they're the organization that I wish to fund! I hope that if you also care for animals like I do or want to learn more about them, you'd try & check out WWF's website! Also, if you have a few dollars to spare, consider sending money their way to fund them in their projects to preserve these wonderful creatures! :D Of course, there are other ways to help them like raising more awareness about this issue!

I'm not sure if anyone would be interested, but depending on the demand, the postcards that I will paint on might be up for sale - 50% of the proceeds will be donated to WWF! :)⠀

Before December last year, I kept hearing about a planner called Hobonichi Techo. I checked their website out of curiosity & ended up buying the planner (Japanese version), a cover, some stickers, & a board. Needless to say, I was pretty shocked when my bill came. :)) 

The purchase, fortunately, was worth every penny. The paper, albeit very thin, manages to hold a good amount of water for watercolors! Acrylic & gouache can also be used with minimal ghosting at the back! I love my Techo & I’ve been using it these past few months! Here are some pages I painted early this year. :)

2nd week of #safendsound! :)
