Here's a recently completed sketch. We were lucky enough to get a behind-the-scenes tour at a nearby natural history museum, and tossed this river otter some fish as he posed nicely.
The work is on a 9x12" sheet of mixed media paper with soft pastel pencils.
Went for a final hike at MacRitchie reservoir this morning, hoping to see monitor lizards, terrapins, sting rays, all kinds of fish, skinks, snakes and macaques. Saw a monitor, plenty fish and terrapins, and one macaque, pissing while too high up in a tree to capture the act on camera.
On my way home, I decided to take a small detour and walk along the Ulu Pandan canal, again hoping to spot monitors, terrapins, fish, birds and maybe even otters.
Wasn’t disappointed. Aside from plenty monitors, fish and terrapins, I saw two kingfishers and three otters!
