A closeup of my newest work in progress.

Finally scanned in this nerdy Potoo!!! These birds (also known as "poor-me-ones" for their haunting call) are truly amazing masters of camouflage, often appearing as a stumped branch on a tree limb or snag.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Prints are now available on my etsy shop: www.etsy.com/shop/corvidworks ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Potoo #Nyctibiidae #birdsofinstagram #natureart #ornithology #bird #watercolor #illustration #illustrator #naturalscience #nocturnal #scientificart #science #artofinstagram #instaartist #pnwartist #gouache #details #realisticart #funny #goofy #animals #instaart #naturalscienceillustration #neutrals #camouflage
