This one looks so coy.
Magpie Goose
wildlife
Pintado Petrel
I kept it simple on this bird, almost an outline or silhouette.
Guianan Toucanet
According to the little web research I’ve done, a toucanet is also a toucan, but it’s a type of subspecies that is smaller in size. This guy struck me with his charming smile and bright beak. Plus, I got to break out the brush tip pen on his beak and black head feathers.
Egyptian Goose
I love his crazy one legged pose. He looks like he’s doing one of those classic cheesy martial arts stances that people make when they’ve never taken a martial arts class but watched a lot of Bruce Lee movies. This duck will clearly try to take you down. That is, if you’re not already on the floor laughing at his earnest bravado and goofy grin.
Ring Necked Duck
I should take a better scan of this one. It looks too faded. quack.
Surf Scoter
Lumpy beak face. It’s like a chipmunk baboon face duck.
Brush tip pen and colored pencils.
Willow Ptarmigan
Crazy eyebrow thingies. I’m sure there is a more scientific name for it.
Chiff Chaff
Graphite. I really enjoyed doing these wings.
South American Comb Duck
Weird bills are fun.
