I love this bird. He has the craziest big ass bill. I drew another one in January. When I found this one, I felt like I had hit the freaky-looking bird jackpot.

Saddlebilled Stork
Oh saddle-billed stork, you are so grumpy in appearance. What brave little imp would dare to ride your saddled visage?
Painted Stork
Hey, old man bird.
Colored pencil on this one. The background is pretty busy, and this one didn’t work as well as others with the re-purposed drawing. But it’s OK. I think his wary eye saves it. Like he’s wondering why that skeleton man is going to touch him. Oh no, skeleton man. You will not touch me.
