Blending art and science

I am a Hong Kong illustrator and one of the cofounders of Wildlife Illustrations Hong Kong (Draw Mud Spring Illustrations). As a nature conservationist, I always believe that art and education is the key to conservation.
Also a passionate diver, dog lover, dragonboat enthusiast and bouldering hobbist.

早前為 @owlhk 桌遊項目繪畫的插圖之一 是豹貓哦、請不要誤會是老虎！(?) 台灣也會叫牠做石虎~ 辨認特徵之一是耳後有白斑(雖然圖中沒有畫出來)~ 可以看到身體的毛髮因為作畫畫後期的關係變得比較蓬鬆(喂— 其實是參考的圖片也是這麼蓬鬆啦! (真的嗎? 上年與神秘害羞的牠差點見面了，同行的夥伴見到了可是我慢了一步... 真的真的真的很想見到野生的真人(貓)! 在復活節假期前先出一個post... 正密切籌備另外一個個人的繪畫project，希望假期後有點點點成果、嘛今晚就稍微(又)放個假😛 祝大家復活節快樂、身體健康~ A drawing for a board game programme by @owlhk It is a leopard cat, not a tiger! One of its characteristics is the white spots behind its ears, though not shown in the drawing. I almost met it in the wild last year but I missed it by a few minutes, a friend of mine saw it. Really do hope that I can see it in real life soon! Starting a personal project and good luck to me being productive and not a potato couch this Easter! Have a nice one, everyone, and stay safe! ——————————— 豹貓 Leopard cat 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘶𝘳𝘶𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴 貓科 Felidae 👩🏻‍🎨 紙皮 Nicole
花斑連鰭䲗 Mandarinfish 𝘚𝘺𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘶𝘴 𝘴𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘶𝘴 身長一般只有6厘米，加上超級色彩繽紛 ，花斑連鰭䲗吸引了很多海水水族箱發燒友飼養。牠是少數具有藍色色素細胞的脊椎動物，學名𝘴𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘶𝘴有閃耀的意思，而英文名亦來自中國古代官服花花綠綠的花紋�。水族界通常俗稱牠為七彩麒麟、青蛙魚、官服魚。雖然外表很華麗，但花斑連鰭䲗並不適合水族箱飼養。在自然環境中以細小甲殼類為主食，在人工飼養環境中很多都不吃粒糧，結果在水族箱裏餓死。 䲗科・連鰭䲗屬 IUCN：未予評估 棲息地：西太平洋，潟湖和珊瑚礁 很多潛水員都喜歡拍攝交配時的一對花斑連鰭䲗，希望肺炎過去之後我可以在水底看到牠們！ 👩🏻‍🎨車厘子 Cherry Only 6cm in length and extravagant colours, mandarinfish is very popular among salt water aquarium enthusiasts. They are one of the few animals that posses cellular pigment which produce blue colouring. The specific epithet 𝘴𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘶𝘴 means glittering and splendid, and the common name mandarinfish comes from robes of imperial Chinese scholars. They are commonly called mandarin dragonet. Although they look dazzling, mandarinfish does not stay well in aquarium. Feeding mostly on small crustacean in the wild, they often reject fish feed in captivity and starve to death. Callionymidae・Synchiropus IUCN: Not evaluated Habitat: Western Pacific, Lagoon and coral reef Mating pair are attractive photography target to many divers, wish I could meet them underwater when Coronavirus is gone! 繪圖過程 Speedpainting 🐠 https://www.facebook.com/390493067980940/posts/1137243246639248/ #mandarinfish #digitalpainting #PlanetEarthAndItsFantasticBeasts
倉鴞 Barn owl 𝘛𝘺𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘭𝘣𝘢 又大又闊的翅膀加上飛羽的梳狀邊緣, 令倉鴞在飛行時基乎不會發出聲音, 獵物難以察覺。相比其他貓頭鷹, 倉鴞領土意識較低, 不同的倉鴞會在同一地盆生活覓食。主要獵物是小型哺乳類動物。有農夫利用牠的特性, 在田邊放置鳥箱吸引倉鴞入住, 以自然的方法控制農田的鼠害。 Large and broad wings, and the "comb-like" edges of the flight feather, barn owl is almost silence when they fly, making them undetectable by their prey. Barn owl is relatively less territorial than other owls, different individuals can coexist in the same territory. Their main prey is small mammals. Some farmers build nestboxes around farmland to attract barn owls to settle, serving as natural rodent control. 本來想畫更年幼的倉鴞幼鳥, 可是樣子真的太恐怖, 盯得我心裏毛毛的... Planned to draw younger owlets, but they are too creepy, gives me goosebumps everytime I look at them... 羽毛繪畫過程 Feather speed painting🐦 https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1130857570611149&id=390493067980940 👩🏻‍🎨 車厘子 Cherry #barnowl #digitalpainting #PlanetEarthAndItsFantasticBeasts

- swipe right for the painting timelapse! - 木棉 Tree Cotton / Common bombax Bombax ceiba 不知道大家有沒有感受到全球氣候變化令香港的冬天越來越暖？這讓不同的植物都出現異常的生長狀況，木棉便是其一。木棉樹本應落葉後才開花，但近年春天到來時卻經常出現花葉並存的奇景。花葉並存會影響花朵的養份，更可能影響依賴木棉的雀鳥！ 木棉科 · 落葉喬木 花期: 2-3月 原產地: 印度 木棉花晒乾後可製作五花茶~ 是我很喜歡的飲料之一 👩🏻‍🎨 紙皮 Nicole Have you ever felt that Hong Kong's winter is getting warmer under the influence of global climate change? This has altered many plant's growths and flowering, including the tree cotton. In recent years, you may have observed that tree cotton flowers bloom while the leaves were still intact, which isn't normal for these trees. As a result, the flowers would not have sufficient energy, which might even affect the birds that rely on tree cotton as an energy source! Bombacaceae · Deciduous tree Flowering Season: February to March Origin: India The dried flowers of tree cotton is one of the ingredient for the five-flowered herbal tea, which is one of my favourite drinks!
春天到了 木棉又開花~ 留意到什麼怪怪的地方嗎? 👩🏻‍🎨 紙皮 Nicole #Workinprogress #網上圖片參考有 #plantillustration #wip #workprogress
