Ok so I'm sorta mad about the red prompt because I distinctly remember doing it two years ago. That time I made it into a practice where I drew without a reference. As you can see I was far more comfortable drawing a Buckeye from memory than a cardinal.

You can see that for some reason I thought October was represented by an 11 in 2022. Idk either

How come "beak" is used for Galliformes and Columbidae but "bill" for practically everything else?

I love the way you draw parrots, Clouds! You really capture their little (or should I say very big) personalities.

The angle of his eye and beak is really good!

Look at his chubby little cheek! I always have a hard time with ducks and their proportions, this is great!

Hi guys! I haven't started because I went on an overnight trip. I just got back last night. Hopefully after work I'll have enough energy to at least start today! Everyone's art is amazing!

Thank you! I have a hard time with ducks as well, and the bill is definitely my favorite part.
