Recently I was fortunate enough to upgrade my Wacom tablet. This is one of the experiments I’ve done to become comfortable with drawing and sketching digitally. The blue lined image is the initial rough sketch. I then went over the sketch with black lines, firming the image up and fixing things in the process. I really like these guys, especially the middle one. His expression turned out quite amusing. Plus, tentacles as tail feathers, I mean, how awesome is that? :) I’m thinking I will eventually add color to this piece.
Originally I had an idea of doing a cute little image of several birds sitting on top of a street light as I see that image nearly every morning on my way to work. That idea came to me several years ago. Apparently something happened to the birds in my head during that time. Improved with age? Perhaps. There was definitely some fermentation going on, that’s for sure.
Me Likey. Funky birds!
I drew a strange little bird in honor of you, and then when I went to ink it, I discovered my tablet pen is broken.
I blame Pi.

Awww… poor little pen. I hope it gets better soon. Thanks for the thought. I would love to see it when your pen recovers. (p.s. I blame Pi too… Pi has it out for you for some reason). ;)
