This series of pictures took me through lots of different techniques in drawing/painting birds on Procreate.

Birds in nature sketches

The first exercise was to simply draw . This was fun, especially not trying for perfection!

Bird from scribbles

Another fun exercise that helped free me up and get used to seeing opportunities from scribble marks.

Birds and radial symmetry

Really lent itself to Hungarian folk colours!

Collage birds

I LOVED this one! As my previous collages were old-fashioned watercolour-based so it was fun taking photos of everyday textures around home as well as creating "watercolourish" collages on Procreate. Also had fun creating colour palette for this one!

Birds made from stamp brushes

Another one I adored doing!!! Used one of my earlier sketches as a guide. Made a base picture, then a repeat pattern.

Loved this too!!! Again, did two versions, plain and coloured.

Birds from Blobs

Another fun "freeing-up" exercise where you let your imagination go!!!

My "eagle" looks more like a "walrus"!!!

Birds using Shapes

Another fun exercise, where you had to think!! I wanted to do ducks. My rectangular duck looks more like a dog but heh!?
