[Art] Spangled Cotinga, Green-Billed Malkoha, Tacazze Sunbird

These aren't filling any gaps for any decks! Though they might go into a deck one day.

I actually did these to kind of play hooky on my 'official animal teacher artwork.' I needed a break, and it has been many months since I've done any inking!

As a result I picked some of my favourite animals to draw: Extremely. Pretty. Birds. Especially ones that most people haven't heard of!

I'm really happy with the inking of these. Sometimes I think 'oh no it's been a while I think I've lost my touch.' Yeah, no, I haven't. I've gotten slowly better over time. Emphasis on the slowly.

So beautiful! Especially the first one, thelittle darker feathers at the head <3
As much as I love seeing the coloured versions, there's something special about the pure inkings, too.

Yeah I'm really excited to colour that one! I hope I can pull it off :D

(Honestly I love the ink phase, something about it is so different and unique in feeling to the coloured version, and there are people who've asked me just to do 'inked animals' as well which I can definitely understand. So I always scan them and put them up at this point, so people can see all the detail that's happening <3 )
