Some #FountainPen #sketches from last month! #Corvids ( #crows and #ravens ) are simply amazing! Had some fun with some small studies of a #tree , #bamboo , and #lotus and #lily flowers.
Here, I used my now favorite fude nib in my Jinhao 159 fountain pen.

Mr. Crow says "good morning" so mini #CrowUpdate :
Both Mr. and Ms. Crow have been extremely friendly this morning (I'm working from home today) they approached me closer than before (They didn't even fly away when I exited the house and they happened to be near the door.) Maybe the last remnant of fear they had about me vanished when I helped them chase the cat in the park two days ago?
Baby is still hanging out in the nest, I caught a glimpse of it.

#CrowUpdate When was the last one? More than a week probably. Here is the thing, the weather being nicer, there are almost always people in the park at the moment, so it's rarely quiet enough for the #crows to come down. The last time I spent some sort of time with Mr. Crow was about a week ago, and he was not too keen on approaching me. And also, it's a very busy and stressful time for the crows too, probably the busiest and most stressful time of the year.

Also cats. While they can't climb that high, the babies are going to get out of the nest any day now (last year was the first week of May if I remember well) and crow fledglings leave the nest BEFORE being able to fly. It's a weird thing and probably part of natural selection: they need to count on more than just their wings to survive (this is how Mr. Crow still manages to survive in his condition, I guess) but of course cats represent a grave danger then, (⤵️ 🧵 )
It's International Crow and Raven Appreciation Day, everybody. (h/t @neurovagrant and @Nonya_Bidniss )
Not kidding. No idea who gets to make these things up but I'm not complaining.
Anyway, to celebrate here's a caramel crow photo I've never posted before.
