[ drawings] Robin, junco, phoebe (Patreon)

Two robins (American robin, European robin)

The birds in the sketch at the very top and the picture right above it all have the name robin, but they are actually all different families ✏️

I've been in a bird mood since last year, and I bought one board game.

It’s called Wingspan, and it’s a really beautiful and great game. (If you’re interested, it’s also on Steam.) There are familiar birds I already know, and quite a few that I’ve drawn already. However, there are some I don’t know, so when that happens, I search photos. Most recently, I played the Oceania expansion pack recently, and while collecting small birds for a my game objective, I searched for 'Red-capped Robins' :D

I was collecting birds with a wingspan of 30cm or less for bonus points.

Then I felt like sketching some small birds, so I tried drawing two more of the birds that were recommended to me.

I heard that the Junco is a bird that signals the arrival of winter in America. I watched a video of them running around in the snow, and they were really cute. They have small eyes and heads, and in winter, their feathers puff up even more, making them look like balls of fur...🩶

It's fascinating how the yellow-eyed junco's face ook so different compared to Junco with the dark eyes. For some reason, she gives off an angry impression. I thought about how to draw their eyes in my style.

Black phoebe has a similar coloration to dark-eyed junco, but its eyes and head seem larger, and its beak looks long and pointed.

Personally, the way these birds' crowns are just slightly raised is so cute ☺️

Thank you!
