All poofy and such.

Bird art: Great blue heron
A more detailed version compared to the first heron I did in this style. Based on a photo I took at Reifel Bird Sanctuary on March 18, 2023.
Bird art: Sandhill crane
These birds have about a billion feathers, each of them individually coloured. Capturing this accurately would have taken me until 2083.
Still, I like it.
Bird art: song sparrow
I normally use “rejected” photos for my bird art, ones that are a little blurry or have some kind of defect, but I usually have good luck with song sparrows. Saturday’s birding did produce some slightly fuzzy photos, so at last I have a song sparrow to add to the collection.
A Wilson’s Warbler
The photo I based this on was take from a longer-than-desired distance, mainly because the warbler was sitting on a rock in the middle of the Brunette River.
But the drawing turned out pretty decent.
Ring-necked gull
I took artistic license and changed the logs it was standing on to a giant featureless rock. Also, I was maybe a little lazy.
A non-blurry junco
Because I took my fuzzy photo and turned it into a nice crisp drawing!
