Silly me, the face obviously needed more color and texture

“Long Legs”
It’s a Shamo, by the way

Very nice! Your chicken feet are so good.

Very nice! Your chicken feet are so good.

Thanks, I really struggled with that angle

It’s by no means good but I’m trying to catch up. The bird I see most in my “backyard” on campus is the American Crow so that’s what I drew.

For my free bird I put the American Robin because I have surprisingly never drawn it before and I felt kind of like it could fit with the “spark bird” and “backyard bird” prompts since it is the first bird I remember seeing in my life but not quite as influential as the owl and not currently in my backyard. Plus, it is the state bird of Wisconsin.

Backyard bird:

And free bird. These guys live around here, and are so friendly! I went on a hike with my siblings, and my brother almost stepped on one because it came so close.
