That would be awesome, especially if it was a physical coloring book. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone has any ideas or experience with making stuff like this, I'd love to hear about it. I'm not sure what the market is like for coloring books, but it would be a fun project, if people wanted to join in. Here's another. I'd seen this little colorful bird flirting around the reeds before, but it was hard to photograph. When I finally got a nice picture and looked up its name, I was a little disappointed at how mundane it was: a Common Yellowthroat. It couldn't have been called a Spectacular Rare Yellowthroat? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GracesWarbler Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Here's a Gambel's Quail. I like the head feathers and the funny way they run. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GracesWarbler Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Hey look, it's a Lesser Goldfinch on a sunflower! A question: if I were to eventually create a coloring book out of images like these, what would you like to see in future images? More or less detail? Different backgrounds? Bird facts? Stories from the field? (I don't mean to dominate this thread. If any of you have been doing art, I'd love to see it!) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some kind of simple background to color in would be nice, like the repeating design in the first (second?) one you posted here. I personally think the lack of much detail is what makes these drawings so beautiful, but I honestly don't know if it's good for coloring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may experiment with geometric stuff later on - I tried a background like that on the Red-winged Blackbird but didn't like it. Anyway, two more: a Dark-eyed Junco and a Rosy-faced Lovebird. I added more background for the Lovebird but I'm not sure it it makes visual sense. The background was a bit out of focus on the photo. Anyway, those goofy parrots are great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to either be on the mood for geometric designs or nature but not usually both at the same time. Loving your creations though! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To do natural backgrounds, I need to find some photos with backgrounds mostly in focus. Generally, my photos have fuzzy backgrounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I agree @GracesWarbler. I guess the geometric backgrounds don't complement every piece. I do like the background on the Lovebird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GracesWarbler Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 No more geometry. Instead, big impressive crests! Growing up on the east coast, I was used to Blue Jays. They're very similar to Steller's Jays in size, shape, and attitude, but Steller's Jays also have rad differences. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
