Calling all bird loving artists! This month's bird is the Turkey Vulture! 🩷 Draw! Paint! Sculpt! We hope you'll join us. Posting day is Oct 29th.

Rules and Full Size Ref. Photo here: birdwhispererproject.com/participate/

Free Use Photo: pixabay.com/photos/turke... #birds #BirdWhisperer #art
Regal Turkey Vulture perched on a tree branch, seen in side profile. The branch extends into the background and branches off in opposite directions. Description from Wikipedia: The body feathers are mostly brownish-black, more black around the head and neck, but the flight feathers on the wings appear to be silvery-gray beneath, contrasting with the darker wing linings. The adult's head is small in proportion to its body and is red in color with few to no feathers. It also has a relatively short, hooked, ivory-colored beak.

#Birdtober Day 8: Diamond Firetail

Nice to do something simpler. I saw 2 species of firetails during my Australia trip, but not these. I wanted to emphasize the bright red rump feathers!

#birds
An illustration set inside a stone castle room - there is a pair of lovebirds snuggling on a swing above of wooden table covered in objects - a red rose, cherries, a golden chalice, pink quartz, candles. In the background is a large stained glass window with a heart on it, a broomstick, and a bookshelf.

Talamanca Hummingbird from the May #BirdWhisperer

I was really excited by the composition of the photo so I chose to focus on those shapes first and foremost.

I really like the light greens of the plants growing on the stump vs the background, it really pleases me

#Birdtober Day 7: Common Loon

The photo doesn't capture it fully, but I'm proud of how I did the iridescence on the head. Since I painted a loon this past January, it's kind of fun to compare and contrast the two media.

#Birdtober Day 5: Javan Green Magpie

These are a critically endangered corvid endemic to Western Java.

I actually don't have a lot of green markers, so this one was challenging!

#Birdtober Day 4: Wyandotte Chicken

I chose the silver-laced color variation. I don't normally draw domesticated animals, but she sure is a pretty chicken!

#Birdtober bird of the day is a Wyandotte chicken? Well, I can't resist reposting this lovely person then!
Digital drawing of a striking white bird whose feathers are all edged in black, creating a stunning pattern. It has a red comb and wattles and a golden eye. It is holding a tiny bouquet of flowers with pink, blue, and white petals in the colors of the trans flag.
