Description
Male and female, as suggested by - thank you very much!
These birds are so crazy. I swear, the females always look like they're saying "What the fuck?!!" when you watch a documentary where a male is prancing around like this infront of them...
I gotta admit, I almost forgot about this one today. Still feeling sick, actually worse than yesterday, bleh... Think the only high point I had today was when I drank a cup of cappuccino and then spammed BC with notes about Portal... yeah, sorry about that...
This is part of a daily animal drawing challenge I made for myself.
Daily Animal Drawing - and You tell me which!Hi there, watchers and non-watchers!
So, here's the thing: I need to practise drawing - I mean I need to practise it more. So here is an idea I've been having for a year or two but...back then I was too lazy. So now is the time:
Each day I will draw an animal. WHICH animal I draw is up to you. Whenever I upload a daily animal, I'll rely on you to name me one for the next day. It's okay if I get a few ones, I'll just add them to the queque then
. It can be anything: birds, mammals, lizards, insects, fish, etc.
Also domesticated animals like dogs or horses.
Er, also Homo Sapiens? lol But yeah sure why not.
If you have a nice photo of an animal somewhere, feel free to give me that! I WILL need a reference after all
I've already made two, so that's how it's going to be done - Ink and Aquarells
SO now!
What should be next?
EDIT
Allright, t

Isn't the male a little to dark? I mean, you can't see the head. And sure, even if this *___* is what the females really see anyway and are attracted to, I'd still say you'd be able to see some hints at the head of the actual bird.

I SO KNEW you were going to point this out. But I checked every photo I could find - you really can see NADA. I was like "this looks so weird" - but the thing is that the male turns his head skyward, so his throat points towards the female and then somehow his head completley vanishes. Also the feathers form a shield that is tilted inwards, casting a shadow over him. I WANTED to hint with lights at the head, but I look at this photo and I'm like:
Can you see a head? I can't O.o
Here it opens the beak, but you still can't seee anyhting besides the things over his eyes: sciencefieldnotebooks.wikispac…

And I KNEW you'd say that XD
well, sorta. After all, black birds can be hard to find good photos of with contrasts that allow you to see details. I know, that's why I don't have more pictures of my cat, because she just looks like a black blob, unless she's is in the sunshine.

Nono, I don't think it's the photo's problem I'f seen these birds in films. I think it's an optical illusion, because the tail shadows the head and the head is also not held straight, but pointed towards the sky.

AAAAAHH!!!! This is so good!!
Captures the entire concept of bird-of-paradise courtship rituals perfectly. Male is all IM SO HAWT IMMA BE ALL IN YO FACE TIL YOU FW ME
........ female is all Just Get Away From Me You Crazy Sonuvvagun.
I don't really blame her since she always gets stuck with the kids all on her own.
Anyway..... I hope you're feeling better. Please get your rest and keep warm. We wouldn't want you plowing through more drawings if you're not at 100%.
