[Graphichick]

The Grape Line

This is a spread from a book I just wrote.
I use the photos I take, outline them in Photoshop, then refine and color them in Illustrator.

 

[StinkyAcres]

I just painted this acrylic study of two of my favorite chickens who are sadly no longer with us. It's a little smaller than 6" x 3 1/2" on mixed media paper.

 

[Izzyisdizzy11]

A drawing of my duck Alex, coloured pencil on toned paper.

watercolour of Rosie my salmon faverolles

 

[Padfoot22]

I painted this chicken scene in acrylic last year. I’ve done other birds too but these were the first chickens I’ve done.

 

[FrankieDoodle]

A ceramic Polish rooster, made out of clay. I used slabs, so it is fully 3D and can be hung on a wall.

[Izzyisdizzy11]

Alex when it was a duckling, coloured pencil on toned paper. A bit of a rough sketch but thought I'd enter it anyway

My drawing of a turkey- also digitally drawn using ibisPaint X-
