Table Pigeons

Every Day Matters Challenge #208

Draw something out of place

*********************

After the incident with the Grackle

bird running amok upstairs

recently, I hoped the pigeons

over on the neighbors' roof

wouldn't try to visit in the

kitchen. I'd had this #208 challenge

in mind and Sumner sent a photo

better than mine, to look at.

I do a light pencil ' positioning search sketch' and

then use a fine pen to get as
serious as I feel like....

I like the colors AND lines on this one. I was going to ask how you did the lines then I read your posting. Thanks!

Winna, you have captured the shape of these birds perfectly - I have trouble getting birds right! Do you have a favourite pen and a particular brand of ink that you like?

I love pigeons! ^^ Pigeons in Cologne are so people-friendly, they're not afraid of people at all, and walk amongst the crowd like they're one of us.
I love the way they walk "bobblehead" style. :)
This is a very nice sketch and love the colors too!

Thanks for commenting on my Sharky post. ^^

What super pigeons, Winna! I love this spread - very witty.

We are under seige with pigeons right now as the woman next door keeps throwing ENORMOUS chunks of bread out of her window!

That WOULD be a nightmare straight out of a 1950s "B" movie. I liked pigeons on the farm, but as an adult I've come to feel less friendly toward them.
