    JTMB's Bird Art

    Here are the next ten species from my 'seen this year' list that I've sketched. These are all done quickly, with a pencil sketch followed by watercolor and sometimes adding some Pigma micron ink. I'm up to 91 species seen this year so far, so I'm still working off the backlog...!

    Some more Aussie birds plus one import

    John Strawbridge's Illustrations

    These are wonderful pieces, whatever term is applied. Norman Rockwell is often called an illustrator, but my wife and I attended an exhibit of his a couple years ago and in my mind (and the many other attendees) saw art. Interestingly, his original paintings used for the covers were actually...

    Thanks Rodrigo and mayoayo! Rodrigo - I'm definitely going to do more with markers, as I also like how they turned out. The last few I've been doing are 'quick and dirty' with watercolor pencil and water brush since I'm still in catch up mode to sketch the species I've seen so far this year...

    The daily animal

    This is a wonderful project and thanks for sharing it! It will yield great dividends in your work - already has, no doubt. I've also been away from drawing birds for a couple years due primarily to some joint replacements surgeries and am 'back in the game.' My main sketching project is to do...
