This is an abstract vector I created last week. I’m having fun with limited palettes, textured backgrounds and abstract shapes. I’m moving further away from the confines of perfect lines and structures, and it’s honestly very freeing! I think this Jabiru has a lot of character, with her elongated, wobbly legs and cheeky smile. 🙂
I designed a series of Australian birds, and these Top End birds were my first choice. They are a little different to my usual style, but I’m really digging the way they turned out. 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.
