Birds Drawing 41-50

The 100 Day Project

I’ve been working on my 20 days of drawing birds, the third set of drawings for  the 100 Day Project from Lindsay Jean Thomson ( website, IG, and podcast ). I enjoyed a couple resources to inspire the first few.

• Peggy Dean’s book Animal Line Drawing
• Steph Fizer Coleman’s video on watercolor chickadees

I love the watercolor “sketches,” and also tried with chalk. I’ve now completed 10 of the 20 birds that you can see in the above gallery.

• 41 Sketches – observation
• 42 Sketches
• 43 More Sketches
• 44 Falcon
• 45 Watercolor Quick Paint Chickadees
• 46 Quick Paint: Meadowlark
• 47 Quick Paint: warbler
• 48 Sketch: 3 funky birds
• 49 Chalk: 3 funky birds, colored
• 50 Sketch: 3 more funky birds

The goal is to make a plan for drawing every day for 100 days– five to ten minutes. That seems doable, doesn’t it?

My plan is to draw

• 20 bunnies
• 20 bears
• 20 birds
• 20 dogs
• 20 cats
