First of the month. Time for another installment of #365birds, a month's worth of bird drawings I've completed as part of my own personal challenge.
As part of Terry Runyan's #dailycreatinggroup on Facebook, I'd discovered my true love for drawing birds. As a result of that discovery, starting on November 3, 2022, I set out on a personal journey of drawing a bird each day for a whole year.
You will find below 15 of the birds I drew during the month of February. Above each of my drawings, I will tell the name of the bird, as well as the area of the world in which it can be found.

Thanks, Jenna! My medium of choice is Derwent Inktense pencils, followed by a little Copic and Posca.
DeleteLinda, you are so talented. I wish I could draw, but stick people is my limit. Ha! I could never pick one as a favorite, they all have such attention to detail and look like a print. Beautiful! Thank you for sharing with us. Love!
ReplyDeleteOh, Cara! You are so sweet! Thank you so much! If it will make you feel any better, I cannot draw a decent stick figure! Take care!
DeleteMore beautiful birds! Each one has its own personality. They are all lovely. Thank you for sharing this post in the Talent-Sharing Tuesdays Link-Up 59.
