Equine artist struggling with birds.... (1 Viewer)

Im new to this forum and am totally engrossed in all
the different forums to the point of overload !
Im going to have to switch to decaf at this rate or I'll
never sleep. This forum is the one I really got lost in....
B

Im an illustrator and ave done stuff for auto and equine entities
in the past and am currently working on ways to try to employ
my pan & ink stippling technique for some bird related art.
Im totally self taught so this stuff doesnt come too quickly...
:scribe:

Birds are hard for me because there are so many different
textures that need to be accommodated to make them look
real and natural. The art I see here is very humbling and
inspiring at the same time. Amazing stuff

Here are two horses I did, one was a commemorative T-Shirt
for the Saratoga Springs event about a decade ago and one
was used as a logo for a farm in Pennsylvania.

I have a Magpie on my board as my training bird and will
post him when Im finished....

Thank you all for inspiration and taking time to post your great artwork !

Welcome BB, Look forward to seeing Magpie fully feathered and on the art forum!

Hi Alfred and welcome to BF and looking forward to seeing Maggy

welcome to BF ,if they turn out like your horses, then there's nothing to worry about..mark.

From a fellow follower of the turf, a huge welcome to the forum and looking forward to seeing more.

Thank you very much everyone !!
Your blogs and links are quite inspirational !

Im humbled by the work I see....
As much as I love art of all types and spend time looking
at it from photography to abstract, I dont think there is any
better way to evoke a 'personality' or feeling from a particular
subject then with the brush or pen. In this era of instantaneous
computer flash art, It's fabulous to see all this great traditional
medium art in one place !

welcome to the best bit of BF....I recently migrated from equine to avian, have to say it's a very inspiring world to enter, and lots of great artists here to help out...

I couldn't agree with you more, especially being such a newcomer to this forum myself! The forum has been like a breath of fresh air.
