Weekly Activity 25/4 - 1/5 "Birds"
 

Isn't time flying people.

Well great works last week! A tonne of posts which is great as well!!

Have fun I look forward to seeing what you lot come up for this weeks topic

:thumbsup:

This is a watercolor painting I did about 6 or 7 years ago. For some reason the scanner discolored the legs and feet.

That's a cool bird, Vermin. Makes me think of an avant garde professor :cool:

This is a mother's day card I did a couple of years ago.

Kramus that is so lovely!!

What a cute picture. You've really captured the emotions of those birdies. :thumbsup:

Thanks dobster :)

Oh I love the style in both pics. One thing I gotta love about this forum..so many different styles of artists coming together..in these posts especially. Great stuff guys.

Asta!!

I just remembered my owl

Wow some great artwork already
Vermin, Love the abstract piece you have there! :)
Kramus, I can't say that I've seen your style before O_o but it's cool ^_^

Kramus: That first one is adorable :D

Vermin: Glad to see another one here who's into water colors. Cool looking bird - did you come up with it yourself or is it a real species?

As for the discoloring; my scanner does the same thing sometimes. I'm afraid it's broken :|

I'll say! Isn't it the first time we've ever had 2 whole pages in a weekly activity??

next week: eyeballs

^ Ahaha! I love it!

Asta!!

holy cow!
a pretty nice start to the week's activity.
kramus, i really like the mother's day card.
the curved line fills/shading are a nice touch.
vermin, thank you for digging up the past.
i've been thinking of geometrically shaped birds
since i recently stumbled on the artwork of tim biskup
http://www.timbiskup.com/artwork/paintings/

y señor hamburguesa,
if it weren't for the necktie,
i'd say that's a striking self portrait.
no?

i'm off to the scanner to scan in this week's colored pencil contributions.

Thanks folks - that Mother's Day card was a fun one. Golden - being on the inside I really still am not sure what my style is - but it must exist because you aren't the first person to tell me about it ;) Giant Hamburger, is there a little pun or something behind the studious and well dressed culture vulture? I bet there is more to his story. Way cool tie.

and here they are...
(i think birds are slightly evil)

I Bloody love your birdies!!! They so cute and fat!! :D

Mine is poo, but i wanted to join in the fun.

Ouch.

He's a lawyer. I think I am going to add him holding a book.

Birds are firmly ensconced in the camp of evil.

We must be ever-vigilant!

you know i kid because you are loved.

ms. diety,
yours reminds me of a bird i did a few weeks ago.
i saw a girl with a robin tatooed on her forearm.
i later learned her name was robin,
but she inspired me to draw this quickie...

Kramus, your talent never ceases to amaze me. GiantHamburger, your posts are either hilarious or absolutely terrifying I will dream of evil chickens. You have poisoned my dreams! ;) Dobster, your shadow bird is lovely, not "poo" as you say. I like shadow birds! And Doodlebird, your drawings are absolutely adorable.

So much talent in this forum!

Edit: I also love the watercolour Vermin! I didn't forget you, I promise! :icare:

Giant Hamburger you crack me up. And doodle, your stuff is really fun too :). Cello, something exquisite is revealed in your bird - great stuff.

I like this topic. :D

My old avatar is a kestrel's head, naturally.

Somewhere in a sketchbook I have another few bird drawings. I'll see if I can find them.

Next week: Mom

OK, I have never much cared for birds, but they do add a certain something to a landscape.
A certain je ne cest qua.
Poultry in motion, if you will.
Even if you won't.

So, therefore, here's "Sunset with Hawks"

Next Week:
Artistic puns.

GO, friend, this has been an awesome series of threads. Perhaps at some point you could recap the topics that have been done so far?

^groans. :)

i second the "mom" theme for next week.
(may 8 is mother's day in the US - is it elsewhere?)

Very old drawing I did with my mouse and an oekaki programme, but it's too funny not to post (at least, that's what I think).

Next week: moms (like everyone is saying).

I don't believe that chicken. This is further proof of GH's statement that birds are firmly ensconced in the camp of evil.

Bloody good work everybody!! :thumbsup:

Doodlebird: I think I like your birds best. They're so fat and adorable! :D Did you resize the birds or is the original drawing that big??

Well made a littel Godfather Pigeon... Don Pigeon well here it is enjoy...

Next Week: Alien Rodeo

Don't fuck with Don Pigeon people! :hmm:

Philosophy
 

:D :D :D

Next week: Danes

repost, but it fits the theme.

Here's a bird image I posted in another thread a while back...

HEY! SNOOGANS!!! Welcome back, man. I missed ya.

Would this be the story of the mythical birth and nurturing of Giant Hamburger?

that's the original size.
just colored pencil in a sketchbook.

snoogs - i'm too new to know your old stuff, but man do i love that fat little birdie. it's perfect.

and GH - fuck the olive branch! the burger should be the international symbol for peace.
