Bird #50 - dino friend???
Just a little celebratory doodle today, because we've somehow reached 50 birds!? This is crazy to me; the longest art project I've done before this was 11 drawings spread over a single month. Much love to anyone who has ever reblogged or commented or interacted with this blog <3
Anyways, even though this friend isn't a particular species, here is a customary fun fact: One singular feather of the archaeopteryx (One of the covert feathers, covering the main flight feathers) had been analyzed for colour and was probably black. Other than that, we don't know anything about achaeopteryx colours!
Well if the shoe fish
For many of years I had this tradition of drawing Wirt and the beast once a year to see how much I have improved, then depression hit in 2023 and couldn't continue, but it left so really amazing art in the process
