For some reason or another, I have a small collection of old books that I purchase from reuse centres for a dollar or two. I took a quick look through one of my books, and came across a page that instantly gave me an idea.
I started with a light pencil sketch, then stippled in the details with ink. To finish it off, I added some red marker to the berry.
I'm sure this bird is feeling "adrift" from the other birds, who are enjoying their comfortable branches, and plethora of fruit.



Just found your blog Adam - I love people who think! What a wonderfully creative idea, your bird looks like he could've flown right from that goup - nice!
ReplyDeleteSo clever!

ReplyDeletewicked job adam!

This is clever and creative, nicely done!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is neat, was it just the lone bird that you drew?
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for the kind words.
ReplyDeletePaul: I only drew the bird on the left page... I tried to duplicate the style of the original illustration.
