I want to see those warbler drawings.

Two of my favorite pictures from my bird feeder. Unfortunately, the feeder’s camera quality isn’t great, so it’s a bit blurry.

This is really cool! Well here’s one I like, not my best photo, but the main Sulphur Crested Cockatoo is kinda cute!

Hi Nik. So what are you mostly looking for? For inspiration, I mean.
Here’s a Northern Flicker with a bit of an unusual expression. Purely accidental, but the impulse to anthropomorphize is pretty intense. I mean, ‘haughty’ comes to mind.
Color? Texture? Pattern? (Cue the Wood Duck)
Or were you looking more for an in-flight?

Lovely! Nice job.
Do you have a setup with a digital stylus? I’d like to know your setup and software.
I have spent quite a bit of time playing around with digital drawing software/hardware. There’s a lot of pretty neat gear out there and it’s more affordable than most people realize.

I use a Wacom tablet (the screen-less kind), it’s hooked up to my laptop which I have adobe photoshop on (I have the Lightroom-photoshop bundle) as for drawing in photoshop I mainly use brushes I’ve imported from adobe’s free brush library.

This lil chonk would be a rather fun doodle, I think.
Btw I love your artsyle! It’s sort of minimalistic, yet in a way that feels professional like the art of Sir Quentin Saxby Blake , if he drew black and white and made his art a lot more realistic. Keep drawing dude!

I am honestly thinking how your best shots look like if these are the ‘terrible’ standard!

Haha, my pics are probably worse know than they’ve been, as I haven’t photographed birds since last January. I suppose I could bring my telephoto lens back out this Spring, but we’ll see. :)

Neat project! But maybe you can help me answer a question about this activity.
How about anting? In the absence of obvious things like an anthill or visible ants, is it still possible that a bird sunbathing to ’bake’ off parasites might instead be trying to get small ants to do a clean up?

Birds of paradise would be fun, given their insane attire. A lyrebird would by cool too!
