Day one: favorite bird. Of course I can’t pick a real favorite, but my talkative little Gabby is super sweet

Adorable! Her eyes have so much depth.

I revoke your privilege to say that you’re, “Bad at birds.”
There’s so much character! Especially in his eyes!

Nooooo
My privilegessss

I mean to be FAIR, I’ve got experience with these kinds of birds SPECIFICALLY
let me keep my privileges until I draw a half decent song bird or something

Working on a time crunch, so this is late.

Day one: Favorite bird
Cedar Waxwings have been very dear to me for quite some time. They’re such infrequent visitors so it’s always a treat to get to see them up close.
So much color variation in these critters, they look like they’ve been airbrushed!

For sparrow I did the Chestnut sparrow because I think they're really pretty...

What medium did you use? I absolutely love how the colors are so soft yet you managed to put so much detail into it

Whoopsie, I forgot about this, lol. I'll have to get on it today. Everyone's drawings so far are gorgeous!
I've not done art properly in a long time, so it's a tad intimidating to hop in with so many lovely pieces - and I'm not a bird drawer at all. But I will try my best! I think the hardest first step will be picking my medium, because I have too many.

What brand! They look really soft core. Or was it just a lot of burnishing?
