I'm still working on the tutorials for this month and next month, featuring Raptors and Birds of Prey. They are taking a little longer than usual as there is a lot for myself to learn as well! So apologies in advance if they are a week late! There is so much to learn about these birds, they are very different to passerines!

Thank you everyone so so much for supporting me this year! I've enjoyed created tutorials and the two books thanks to your support, it has been a dream come true! Hopefully next year I can keep building on these tutorials to have a huge library of resources for everyone to use and learn from with as many species as possible!
If there is a bird or anatomical problem you'd like me to look at, drop me a message on here or on Discord!
I hope you all have a nice Christmas and a w...

Just a quick update on the how to draw Raven book as it is 11 pages away from completion! Which should be around 3 months time if I can keep on track with 3 pages a month!
2022-02-20 13:59:20 +0000 UTC View PostThank you everyone for your support this year! The success of the Passerine tutorial book has been phenomenal and I enjoyed creating every page!! I'm currently working on a Raven and Crow tutorial book, which you'll see the progress of every month and will get a free copy once it's complete!
I've also decided to add extra tutorials, I've asked those on Discord (if the bot hasn't popped you in Discord let me know!) what other birds you'd like me to make tutorials of. So I'll be add...

A quick preview of Novembers tutorials! They will be 3 pages talking about the feathers and bristles on the Raven head, and the start of expressions which will continue for December. Ravens are more expressive than you think!

These are the zines I'm currently working on. Who knew creating books/zines would be tough work! But I'm enjoying it! I'm aiming to get the Raven book out by the end of this year, although it may be early next year depending how busy my store gets over Christmas. Following that will be my how to draw Ravens book, which will follow a similar format to my bird tutorial book just with accuracy to Raven anatomy etc. All those in the $5 tier will get a free digital and physical copy of the zine on...
2021-07-09 13:25:00 +0000 UTC View PostSo I'm thinking of creating a Patreon only pin next year for everyone thats supported me these past few months! I will probably make one every year as a special collectable! I've been thinking of a few designs using gems (because I'm a sucker for shiny stones) so the first one will be a Crow holding a ruby in its beak!
2020-09-07 14:12:39 +0000 UTC View PostI've created a Discord server! It's still kind of fresh and needs a little bit of tweaking, but I'm sure once I get used to it it will be perfect! https://discord.gg/tUMF43 I can offer more one-to-one help with art, answer any other general questions or just talk about birds all day!

I've been busy this month attempting to put all my bird wing thoughts into a short but sweet tutorial on how to draw wings. I normally do a couple of tutorials a month but people have been asking for wings so I've dedicated time to nailing this down. First part will be released in August and second part in September! In August I will talk about anatomy and theory, then the second will be wings from the imagination or something similar, since references can't always be found.

The art prompt for April is building! I've got a Robin and a Blue tit finally nesting in the boxes I've put in the garden, so it's been lovely watching them build!

I've created a quick tutorial on how to draw a common Buzzard!

One of my favourite techniques. It is mainly used in animation but I love to use it when drawing birds in motion or interacting with each other.
