Wow, that's so cool! If she doesn't mind, could you share your friend's drawing too? I'd love to see!

I'll ask her!

Day 7: basic (non-breeding) plumage! Here’s the common loon! Not my best work but the kids threw me a lot of curveballs today. Oh well! Onward and upward.

I'm a day behind but here is my entry for coniferous forest a barred owl, one of my favorite owls!

Never forget that you have free will...

Wanted to quickly catch up so I cranked out a Bonaparte's gull for today

Nocturnal Migrant: Day 8

I skipped a few days and am trying to take it easy on my brain, so I ended up doing this one quick. I love Whippoorwills and I've only heard them once or twice (once this Summer), so I wanted to do one.

Very sad to throw away a piece of art like that, even if you have a lot of that sort of thing (I assume you are referring to the hummingbird eye). It was beautiful.
AI doesn't mean it looks bad, either, and like BlueRaptor said, it is welcome for use so long as it's disclosed. We have our own TudyBot here who can do all sorts of interesting things.
The issues with those first two images was that they seemed to be extremely inconsistent with each other, and looked to have been taken from the internet (i.e. the work of other people that they had shared).

sorry for seeming a little dramatic but i wanted to show you all this little sketch i did on the back of my school notebook i think it took me about 10 minutes

Day 8: nocturnal migrant! I picked the black-capped vireo, which is probably the rarest North American bird on my life list. I love how this little guy turned out!

 

[Amer]

I didn't realize so many birds are nocturnal migrants! Again, just trying to do a quickie

I am tragically behind on both drawing and this thread
I'm going to sit down and get as many done as possible soon.
