Although I just found out it's not totally scientifically accurate because the reference looked like this and I thought their breast was solid black but now I realize they have a white belly below the black collar XDI wonder just how far my white gouache can go XD
Or if I even want to touch it
Thanks! I love how it has the perfect amount of stylization and kind of blends into the background. It actually looks better than the reference photo in my opinion. Here I am bragging about my own art but it isn't often that it turns out that well.
I love painting on those little 5x7 sheets...
For the Free Bird I drew another Harpy Eagle because I wasn't that happy with the proportions of the last drawing and I wanted to get a head shot with more detail
I'm actually super happy with how it turned out, it looks really artsy.
I used the white gell pens!
He looks like a blue tailed red silver. He has so little blue on him he's almost self, maybe he has both Ginger and Columbian.
Likely
E^Wh/E^Wh S/S Mh/? Bl/bl+ Db/? Co/?
Mom looks silver columbian with red, almost looks like a diluted kind of mahogany.
The chick looks black tailed silver...
True. I use a very thick type of paper and it allows me to get a lot more pigment on.
For Birds of Prey I drew a Harpy Eagle!!
I used fineliners and colored pencil.
So I accidentally drew the only two common named "cream-colored" species in the world on the same day, and it was entirely by accident
They were both on my "draw in the future" list and seemed to match these prompts the best so I chose them.
Thousands of bird species. Thousands. And I chose those.
I have no idea why both the species I drew today are "Cream Colored"
But the "Cream-Colored" Woodpecker is actually bright banana yellow
Soo
"Yellow"
This whimsical species hails from Amazonia. I delight in the fact that God made a woodpecker that is bright banana yellow and I mourn the fact...
