Thank you for the response on my last update, I'm really happy to see the excitement for this project! I have a few more sketches to show you, as well as a more-or-less definitive list of birds I still want to draw. First up: Some duckies and friends!
Sketches, some more refined than others
I was thinking of making the bufflehead duck with rainbow metal (shown in purple), since their faces look pretty iridescent in pictures. Let me know what you think!
Also, here is a list of the birds I'd still like to draw for this project. You guys have so many cool native species, it's hard to make choices! I wish I could draw them all at once. I'll probably pick up the leftover suggestions for a future project!
Cross-collab freebie: to be determined 5+ pin freebie: Dramatic killdeer + nest collar pin (connected with a little chain!)
Small birds - 2-3 warbler species, tbd
Birds of prey - Bald eagle - Red-tailed hawk - American kestrel - Peregrine falcon
Leggy birds/waders/water birds - American white pelican - Flamingo - Roseate spoonbill - Sandhill crane - Green heron - Great blue heron - Great egret - Black crowned night heron - Anhiga
Hope to update you guys soon with more sketches! Have a good weekend!
