I’ve started a series of Australian birds and these Top End birds are the first three in the series. They are a little different to my usual style, but I’m really digging them. I enjoyed playing around with textures and background noise to add depth to the drawings and make them more interesting. I also used more sharp angles instead of my usual curves and I love the results.

I think my favourite is the Black-necked Stork (more commonly known as the Jabiru), but the Bush Stone-curlew gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling, with its funny long legs. Click on the images to enlarge them. If you want to download any of these as a print, please head over to my Etsy store.
