* Duck drawing (2018)

Like a great tits(bird), I sketched more birds I saw recently in my neighbor.

It's hard to see cormorants in the city, but I saw them every day recently. 

The way they fly and dive on the water is really cool.

Here are some photos I took.

Magpie and mallard ducks

I think there's this pheasant's nest nearby. 

He's in the same position every day.

Magpies are very smart and very wary, so it's hard to take pictures up close😭

Well, if I draw more bird again, I want to do a lovebird (and other parrots) next time.

What is your favorite lovebirds?

Thank you!

For favorite lovebird id have to go with the Rosy-faced one! Also I’m always in awe of how many different poses you draw when studying each animal it really helps bring them to life!!

Aluvian

You drew some wonderful birds! I'm so happy you drew a mandarin duck! They're my favorite! Cormorants are such a neat bird! We get them around where I live. There's also a bird called an anhinga (they live where I do too) that looks a lot like a cormorant, and people often get them confused.

pikaole

Oh, my favorite lovebirds is rosyfaced too! (that's the reason I drew them on the sketch) and thanks for your kind words Tania!

pikaole

Oh! I love mandarine duck too! Now it's hard to actually see them in the city, but I remember the mandarine duck couple wooden sculptures in my grandmother's house. (there was a tradition of giving gifts for connubial bliss ) anhinga is so cool, I love people called them snake birds😂

Aluvian

I bet those wooden sculptures are so pretty! Haha, yes! It's a good name for them, because their heads definitely look like a snake when they're swimming in the water. It always makes me laugh

Aluvian

Ohhhh, gosh! Those are so beautiful! Thank you so much for showing me a picture! 😊💕

Your pictures are so funny~! And your photos are nice too! There are a lot of ducks near where I live, but I don't think any of them are my favorites. (I am partial to sparrows, ha ha)

pikaole

Hahaha, I can tell by your nickname that you like sparrows the most😂Thank you Suzume!

There’s something really relaxing about the ducks you drew! I don’t know what it is but they’re just really nice and peaceful to look at.

pikaole

Thank you for saying that! According to my mento, it's an influence of my personality. I like being organized/mathematical arrangement, and my unconscious expresses it on canvas. (This gives us a quiet and peaceful feeling.) On the contrary, It's hard to express well about very dynamic things 😂

Suzume S.

I had a feeling you'd know!

Safa

Amber Young

My favorite lovebirds are the black-masked lovebird, but specifically the blue coloration. I don't know what it is about them, but they just pop to me and their ringed eyes give them such a cute look.

Ahhhhh I love these !!!!! The ducks and ducklings are SO cute.. love the shapes hehe... And I especially love the pheasant you drew !!! These are all so lovely 😍💕

senkoushoujo

Not familiar with love birds... But would be cool to see maybe dove or passenger pigeon (extinct) .. or maybe snowy plover (threatened) ... or marbled murrlet (they have interesting behaviours) .. I guess these are more sea/coastal birds 😅

Kelly

Awww! I live very close to the bay so I see these water birds like ducks, egrets, and cormorants very often. I’m so happy to see your sketches! The popping veins in the cormorant’s neck are hilarious 😂

pikaole

Oh!!! You live in a nice place! I always want to live close to the bay😭 Thank you so much Kelly!

pikaole

Oh, I like them too, I know what you means💕Their faces are so lovely! Thanks Jo!

pikaole

Oh!!! I like all the birds you said! Some of them have sketched. As you know, I tend to favor the animals that live near the water. I will try to draw more birds in the future!

pikaole

Oh, you too!? I like magpies so much, Magpie is a very popular bird in our country😆they are so smart and beautiful!

Hilary Abraham

I work on right next to the shore and get to see a lot of cormorants, I love the little jump-dive they do to go underwater! Magpies are great too. Never seen a pheasant though! Love your drawings as always :)

pikaole

Oh it sounds wonderful you work near by shore! It's really cool that they fly close the water. Thank you so much Hilary!

Lauren
