Birds - Drawing Contest [16 entries]

Winning entry, with a score of:

61.5%

Contest goal:

TRADITIONAL DRAWING: Draw a bird, it can be in a nest, setting on a branch or even flying, maybe just be hatching from its egg.
No color, just use shading to show us and use the name of the bird in the title, a nice addition would be a bit of information on the bird, so we learn about it too.
This is a traditional drawing contest, which means only scanned entries of handdrawn pictures are allowed.

Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

Contest Moderator: FULL TRADITIONAL DRAWINGS RULES: In a tradional drawing contest, only scanned entries of handdrawn pictures are allowed. Traditional Drawing on pxleyes is not limited to pencil drawings. You can use any drawing tool, like chalk, a pen or even paint (please mention in your description what tools you used for your drawing) To keep the contests fair, these contests require that you post at least 2 intermediate steps of your drawing in a step by step guide, so we can see the progress of your work. (also on older drawings; on those you can redraw a part of the entry. DON'T TRACE! Show us the technique used and convince us you have the skills)... Digital editing of handmade drawings is not allowed. ( 5 years and 3742 days ago )

tapiona: Sorry about the no color rule, but I thought it would be a great way for those who want to learn to draw the different shading techniques in creating a drawing. ( 5 years and 3742 days ago )

lchappell: Does an aircraft count as a bird? lol ( 5 years and 3741 days ago )

arkncheeze: I don't have a scanner and my cousin took away my camera lol... Had a nice idea for this contest but will have to skip it lol... ( 5 years and 3741 days ago )

tapiona: cell phone with a camera you can use ark?, just email the picture to yourself? ( 5 years and 3741 days ago )

pingenvy: What kind of restrictions are there regarding source references? If a reference is used, should it be creditedto the photographer, and then, should there be permission to use it. Just wondering. ( 5 years and 3736 days ago )

pingenvy: I think we should show our refernces, unless none are used. ( 5 years and 3736 days ago )

Contest Moderator: Reference photo's are allowed but you MUST post them! PHOTO'S are allowed not drawings. ( 5 years and 3735 days ago )

The symbol of America this once near extinct predator/scavenger lives in the northwest region of North America. While fish are a main staple for this bird they are known to scavenge other kills as well. Ben Franklin wanted the Turkey as our national bird considering the eagle a less than noble scavenger.
Drawing is done with HB pencil on Hammermill bond. (5 years and 3737 days ago)
