SOL 29- Birds

          Technically this post is late. It was still written and posted on May 30, so I don't care. Basically, I had a crap ton of work in the past few days, the Alumni Induction Dinner came up, and I didn't end up blogging. Regardless, I will not fail this challenge on day 29 the third year I am doing the challenge. Now, birds.

Fowl,
very hard to draw.
Feathery,
Please not a macaw.
Challenging,
yet simple,
Drawing avians so rough.
Bird after bird,
I slowly work through the book,
finishing (not really),
I give it a final look.

          Basically, I am having to illustrate many pages in a field guide to worldwide birds that I wrote. There are 20 different birds, and so far I am done with five: an emu, a nene, an emperor penguin, a blue peacock, and a pinnated grouse. Some of those are pictured below. They have to be highly realistic, so each one takes forever. Anyways, enjoy the crappy poem.
