Meh. And Really? So What!

Color Stacked

So, I added color, and I'm just not really thrilled with it, but I like the IDEA of it. I've got 5 or 4 other birdy stack up ideas, so while I'm not happy with this one, I am happy with the fact that I have IDEAS and a DESIRE to DRAW something.

I'm also happy because I've made PLANS to TRAVEL and I'm working on some other plans to TRAVEL somewhere ELSE but I can't talk about that one yet, because I don't really have any details or dates or particulars, just a want-to and a lets-see.

Sigh.

I love rainy days, when I have time to sit around and dream...

  2. the colouring of the middle birds feathers and the top bird is nice, especially how you haven't coloured all of he feathers on the middle bird. :)

  4. -->I like how the bottom bird looks like the Mom and tolerates getting stood on plus the way you crossed the patterns on the middle bird's head. I like it! Wish I could draw more than stick figures. :-)

  5. Thanks, everyone - I appreciate your input! I wish I hadn't put the top birdy in - he just doesn't go with the rest of the composition - looks a bit cartoony to me...

    I may try it again without that top bird and see if it makes me happier...

  9. I really like this idea of the stacked birds and the way you have them here. I do like the top bird and his attitude compared to the other two. And of course your drawing is fantastic as is your use of color. Nice!
