my friends, it’s here! the third annual “extremely accurate birds” calendar has arrived, and the illustrations are more realistic than ever. i do believe this is the most anatomically-precise collection of bird illustrations ever drawn!
in celebration of earth day, i drew some birds i’ve been admiring while birdwatching in florida this spring.
i tried to depict them as accurately as possible, but since i’m still fairly new to realism please let me know if you have any constructive criticism
though i have received a great deal of criticism of my bird illustrations over the years, i believe i have finally corrected the leg issue and achieved full realism!
i hope you enjoy some of my favorite winter birds from my calendar — let me know if you have any tips to improve!

Oh hey! That’s my comic!
Looks like my signature got cropped out, but: if you’d like to see more of my work, this thread (and the thread pinned to the top of my page) is a good start! I even published a Candy Hearts book!
as an artist whose independently-made calendar was stolen by Temu, mass produced into crummy knockoffs, and placed on their front page for the entire holiday season with no legal recourse, i am begging anyone who is shopping from these sites… please, please stop.
a couple of years ago, i submitted a song for a burger king commercial. for some reason, they didn’t use it.
a million shout outs to my incredibly talented friend
