day 6/31 — orange-breasted green pigeon

[ #art #digitalart #birdart #artchallenge #birdtober2025 ]

A digital painting of a green pigeon, which is mostly olive green with dark greenish black wing edges and a bright nearly neon yellow green dividing line between the two. Its breast is mango orange with a rosy pink collar, which then returns to olive green surrounding the pale beak and lilac purple eye before shading to a steely powder blue on the back of the head. The underside of the tail is a rusty brown, with a white tip at the end. Its salmon pink feet are a startling contrast. It eyes the viewer, gripping a slender branch and surrounded by small sun dappled leaves.

A #Birdtober Green Pigeon, the most colorful variety I could find. I never realized pigeons came in tropical!

The colors on this one were tough, I spent a while tweaking color intensity.

Wyandotte Chicken #birdtober

I don't get to draw domestic birds often, but sketching chickens is so much fun! This prompt called for a thicker pen so I could take advantage of the natural contrasts in this breed's plumage.

day 2/31 — venezuelan trupial

*I'm using this challenge to practice drawing different species in my style, so the anatomy and colors might not be 100% accurate.

boreal chickadee painted in black Indian ink with some watercolour highlights. Realistic ink sketch-style drawing.

Birdtober is the perfect time for little experiments 🎨… I’m going to loosen up my style a bit, let’s see how it turns out… What do you think of my first entry? With a bold use of Indian ink 🖤!
Day 3 : Boreal Chichadee

Robin in the Blue is a watercolor painting in contemporary square format painted by the artist Karen Kaspar. A little robin sits on a branch and looks to the right. The background is abstract in light blue with loose brushstrokes and splashes of colour. The orange-red breast of the little bird stands out as an eye-catcher for the viewer due to the color contrast with the background.

Robin in the blue - a little handmade watercolor painting for the bird lovers.

Two black and white sketches of a Venezuelan Troupial in a sketchbook

Venezuelan Troupial #birdtober

This stunning oriole is the national bird of Venezuela, which makes its name particularly fitting.
This time I loosened up a little bit, and also used some half-dry copic marker I found among my art supplies. I like how it subtly smudged my hatching. #birdart 🪶 🐡 🎨

Marker drawing of an African Penguin

#Birdtober begins! Day 1 is Banded Penguin, and I chose the African Penguin specifically.

It's hard to take good pictures of these with my phone, but bear with me and I'll take cleaned up shots at the end!

I'm joining the #Birdtober challenge! this is the first day - Banded Penguin 🐧

There are four species of penguins in the genus Spheniscus, also known as banded penguins. I chose the Humboldt Penguin because I've seen it many times at the Prague zoo. Fun bird to start with!

#diamondwolfart #animalart #digitalart #birdart

I'm excited to share that I’ll have my little bird corner at the Open Art Fest in Prague, Czech Republic, taking place on September 27th – 28th, 2025.

I’ll be bringing both originals and prints with me.

I’m really looking forward to meeting fellow art and nature lovers! #czechart #prague #artevent
