I didn't think this warranted a mature content filter.
Anyway, yeah, it's sad to find robins who get hit by cars. But the artist in me also can't resist. Animal rights people: it was already dead. And burying things in dirt actually isn't that flattering once you get past the cultural-expectancy of it.
Micron and limited pallette watercolor, with some white gouache (cue purist flaming). About two hours, overall. 8.5 x 11
And, as gross as it is, I'm trying to dry it so I can do more wing studies. My sisters think I'm gross. You probably do too.
Any good artist knows that everything isn't always sunshine and rainbows - and I applaud you for taking the time to study nature in it's less fortunate aspects!
I don't think it's gross, because unfortunately I did the same thing my whole childhood xD I still have some dried bird's wings, legs, and a skull [all from already dead birds] that I used to study with.
This drawing captures so much life and vibrancy, as ironic as that seems xD
i think it's good that ur using an already dead bird to do studies than killing one or puchasing one that was killed. power to ya hun *hi fives*
and great job on this, i really like how the feathers came out

Don't feel weird....when animals aren't mashed to a pulp...like this bird...there is a hidden beauty in them, a beauty of a life lived to the fullest...so yeah...I'm a lil weird too I guess...but kudos on this pic hun. It is rendered beautifuly

Remember, remember the 5th of November, the gunpowder treason and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot
I might be biased though..robins are my current favorite bird..hah? I see them everywhere..and I'm always wondering why I never see any being hit by cars, considering how they fly out right across the road and all that.
That's what Beatrix Potter did growing up. that's really cool!

Dead things are not gross. Well, they can be when they start to putrefy. I pick up dead things all the time, draw them, skin them, bury them and dig up he bones later.
