Long wings or no, it’s a beautiful drawing! I love seeing them too. Very elegant birds.

Thanks.

Literally a whole week behind
But I'll get it eventually
I'm probably the busiest I've been in my life lately (except for some weeks this summer where I completely committed myself to a job with crazy hours), I'm doing my best
For Gull/Tern I did the Inca Tern because I love its cool mustachios

once I labeled it I realized it's right beneath another bird with Inca in its name.
This is entirely coincidental, the Inca Tern wasn't even on my list I sort of just thought it would be fun to do

Turns out my reference photo has weird lighting so it wasn't representative of how dark they are, so I shaded it further

Day 30: long thin wings! I chose the Magnificent Frigatebird

I did these a different year! They're truly beautiful! I've seen them in real life, have you?

Oh I haven’t! Man I bet they are so majestic to see in real life!

Day 31: black and white! I drew the black billed magpie, and finished the challenge! Woof that was tough but I’m really proud of myself. Now I need a drawing break haha

They are. They just float overhead. They're all over on the coasts of Puerto Rico!
