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.

Here's another Northern flicker I did awhile ago. This was using a Paul Bannick photo as reference. ❤️

#Birdtober Day 15: Ringed Kingfisher

I always draw female kingfishers because I like when the female is the more colorful one!

I put a lot of work into this A4 drawing, but damaged the paper around the edge when I removed the masking tape. So I'm selling this one for less than I should be.

A drawing using a mix of media on A4 acid free paper. The drawing shows two blackbirds, one male and one female among autumn rowan berries and leaves with a blue background. The drawing has an illustrative feel with white outline on the main subjects. PLEASE NOTE: The paper has been slightly damaged by the removal of masking tape and is being sold at a reduced price as a result. see photos for details. This will be barely noticeable when framed. An original art work, please note that the frame is not included. Colour pencil and mixed media on acid free toned artist paper Size A4 (210 x 297mm / 8.3 x 11.7")

#Birdtober Day 14: Costa's Hummingbird

I didn't quite get the effect I was going for with the gorget, but what colors! I also like how it looks like the heron's trying to eat the hummingbird, and the pheasant is like "you can't sit with us"

A small drawing of two robins on tree branches in winter, with falling snow. The drawing is on grey pastel paper. The UK's favourite bird. Thanks to its bright red breast, it's familiar throughout the year and especially at Christmas. Males and females look identical. An original art work, please note that the frame is not included. Colour pencil and mixed media on acid free toned artist paper 5 by 7 inches (12.7 by 17.8 cm).

A little male Blackburnian warbler to get back into drawing. One of my favorite birds, which I'd love to see someday!

The drawing is the size of a postcard, making the bird almost life-size.

#Birdtober Day 13: Gray Heron

Bonus Great Blue Heron from last year's Birdtober. I was nervous about this prompt because I wanted to be sure they looked different enough without drawing the full body for either of them. I'm happy with how they both turned out!

A colourful Goldfinch bird perched on a teasel. Goldfinches live across most of the UK. This one lives in my shop, but is looking for a good home...

A colour drawing of a Goldfinch bird perched on a teasel. The Goldfinch is a colourful finch with a bright red face and yellow wing patch. Goldfinches live throughout the UK, with the exception of the most mountainous parts of Scotland. An original art work, please note that the frame is not included. Colour pencil and mixed media on acid free toned artist paper 5 by 7 inches (12.7 by 17.8 cm). This is a standard photo size in the UK and USA and should be easy to DIY frame.
