I have a project I have been wanting to do for over 3 years now. And I have done a little, but not too much. I need to create scenes and I'm not good at birds and eh...scenes. And the whole project is about lol....birds and scenes ππ€ͺπ
My project is a children's book. I have the story ready but I need to create all the illustrations for it. It's not easy, I've never done this before so its going to be tricky and scary. I have been dragging this for too long so this year I'm starting early and see where it gets me. I first thought of writing the book then fill with pretty illustrations, but then I realized that I'm not very good at writing so maybe a full pictures, no words book works better. But for that my artwork has to be amazing! Or you know, charming.
So here's the first sketches, just to loosen up and get confident in drawing birds. This are just sketchy studies of a local bird, the Tropical Kightbird (Tyrannus melancholicus) or Xtakay in Mayan - fun fact: there's also a different bird with the same name in Mayan...The birds are very similar, both have similar size and yellow tummies.
Ok well, here are the sketches!
