Eastern Kingbird - final render I have been trying to add more texture to my work. I genuinely like how it's going, it has that feeling of chalking/color pencil slow build up I miss from traditional art. [Hand painted, no AI 🚫used] #Bird #BirdArt #birdartist #SciArt #NatureArt #WildlifeArt
Eastern Kingbird resting on a branch with green leaves. The background is soft with pinks, yellows and green poking though to imitate sunlight through leaves. 

Eastern Kingbirds are grey black on the upperparts with light underparts. They have a long black tail with a white end and long, pointed wings. They have a red patch on their crown, seldom seen unless provoked to defend themselves, a mate or territory.

February's #BirdWhisperer! I had so much fun drawing and painting these two cuties, and learned a lot in the process! #drawing #tradigital #birdart #birds
Traditional ink drawing of two black-cheeked lovebirds, digitally coloured. They are sitting next to eachother, being all lovey-dovey (wait, they're not doves! Lovey-parroty?). One looks a little sleepy and/or grumpy, while the other is up in the first one's face trying to show affection. Signed "Dirx" and dated 2/22/26.

This month's #BirdWhisperer is a Gyrfalcon! I spent way too long on this but I love how it turned out, haha (Reference photo by Petra Ryan) #art #birds 🦢🐡
a digital painting of a gyrfalcon. he is sitting on a dead knob of a treebranch. The background is vague shapes of teal. the bird is positioned such that his back is to the viewer, and his pattern of dark feathers with white outlines can be clearly seen. his head is in profile, looking back over his shoulder, displaying a hooked beak and piercing eye.

Day 21 of #ArtAdventCalendar and I present to you this luminous Green Honeycreeper... #BirdArt #sciArt #illustration #Procreate
An original digital illustration of a Green Honeycreeper bird perched on a branch. The branch is placed diagonally from top left to bottom right on the image. With the slight perspective of looking up at the bird you can see the dark browny tail feathers and lower wing feathers which then lead to an explosion of iridescent blue green feathers that cover most of the body. The only other exception is an area of black feathers on the head that form a V shape coming down from the red eye of the bird. Its beak is mildly elongated and tapers slightly down to a sharp point, the bottom half of which is a bright yellow and the top half a blue gray colour. The background is made up of light blue inky washes.

The Pacific Wren is a tiny forest undergrowth dweller of western North America. Until recently it was considered the same species as the Winter Wren and the Eurasian Wren, which explains why it looks so similar to the wrens I see in my neighbourhood 😁 #birdtober #birdart #wren #wrens #sciart 🪶

Digital drawing of a striking white bird whose feathers are all edged in black, creating a stunning pattern. It has a red comb and wattles and a golden eye. It is holding a tiny bouquet of flowers with pink, blue, and white petals in the colors of the trans flag.

Artwork of a jackdaw I created in 2018 – The image is using graphite, charcoal and acrylic paints. The jackdaw is in profile, and is on an abstract background of quite low saturated colours of grey/ smoky green tones. the bottom half of the jackdaw isn't visible. The focus is mainly on it's white glaring eye.
