Probably will be finished tomorrow. I first tried colored pencil on black paper, but didn't like the result. My entry is acrylic paint on Strathmore acrylic paper - linen finish. I had never used it be for but it seems nice. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiscalus quiscula Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I finally finished my Redstart Drawing! This is of a first year male. First time using paints for birds, so it was sort of a gamble. Colors may have faded out a bit in the picture, especially the yellow. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiscalus quiscula Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 @HamRHead Since no one has posted their drawings yet, (and I've been a bit busy), maybe consider a deadline extension? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiscalus quiscula Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 I had fun drawing this stunner! It's the state bird of New York 😁. Can't wait to see everyone else's entries! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sialia sialis Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 A few coincidences occurred recently: 1. I took a very grainy, distant photo of a cute bluebird perched on the side of a tree, in the fog. (See profile pic.) 2. The next bird to draw happened to be the Eastern Bluebird. 3. I joined Whatbird with Sialia sialis as my username. Therefore... I just had to draw one and enter it! Maybe it's cheating a bit because I don't have to draw a tail or feet... but... here it is! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, my guess is probably not, although I didn't create this thread. There may be some guidelines back at the beginning. Nice job, by the way. What program are using? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
