Day 9 - Yumm bugs! (Insectivore)

Every summer we watch the Common Nighthawks migrate south over our house. Their elegant shape and erratic flight style make them one of my very favorites to see in flight.
I painted this in acrylics. The canvas was too big for my liking so I painted a galaxy "mat" around it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And it appears I got stray stars on my keyboard and mouse in the process.

I love it! Nighthawks are one of my favorites so I drew one last year.

Feeling quite tired and uninspired suddenly...Haven't been able to bring myself to draw and I'm falling behind..

Oh, to be an insectivore on the wing swooping for bugs!

That’s how it was for me halfway through October last year. It can be hard to draw that many days in a row.
