"Please, don't give up"

The mallard, which is the ancestor of most domestic ducks.

There are over 120 species of ducks, and they are found in various habitats across the world, from freshwater lakes and rivers to coastal marshes and wetlands.

Ducks are known for their diverse feeding habits. Some species are dabbling ducks, which feed on the surface of the water or tip their bodies to reach underwater plants.

Others are diving ducks, which dive completely underwater to catch fish, insects, and other aquatic creatures.

Hey everyone!

I decided to add some interesting facts about each floral illustration or study art work that I do.

This time it was a study illustration, but others are my original works, so feel free to share or comment because I value feedback and set a goal to improve by the end of the year.

Fig is a fruit of Ficus carica, and is native to Mediterranean region, Western and Southern Asia.

It can not be well transported to the long distances as a ripe fruit but it can be used in other forms.

For e.g it can be commonly seen in dried form or in a form of a jam or rolls.

Fan facts about Figs:

Ancient Crop: Cultivated since 9400–9200 BC.

Unique Pollination: Fig wasps pollinate figs internally.

Botanical Wonder: Figs are inverted flowers, not true fruits.

Nutrient-Rich: High in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
