Birds, birds, birds

Ah… yes… it’s bird time again. I think I have a fine obsession going here, with all my little bird drawings. I’ve done a couple of sketches in the past week, most of them pretty sad looking. My little Prothonotary Warbler came out looking pretty good though.

From Catpaw’s Art work – birds

He was just having a bath, hence his fluffy feathers. I had to guess how his tail feathers looked because the photo I was using didn’t show them. So, if any bird watchers are looking, sorry if I got them wrong. His beak is a bit too long but his wings came out really quite well. I’m pleased with him. I experimented with some new pencil strokes in an effort to show more detailed feathering and a more realistic twig. I spent nearly 3 hours to get him right… time well spent.

Stumble it!
