Birds of the Pacific Northwest Written on March 1, 2010, by Zack.

Practicing the new drawing style by rendering some of my favorite local birds. The Bald Eagle from last week was originally supposed to be included in this collection, but I decided I didn’t want him harassing all the cool birds.

    I love how stylistically you’ve rendered the feathered friends.

    These just break my heart. Wonderful!

    Amber – Thanks! It’s tricky pushing the style while still communicating their essential features, but I think I did pretty okay.

    David – Awesome! Which bird in particular?

    James – Hmmm, maybe! If I do more, it might be cool to have a print made of them grouped together.

    VKBMKL – Thank you!

    great work.
    I’m a fan of the red winged blackbird here in Ballard (golden gardens)
    if you’re looking for more local birds.

    Gabe- Thanks! I am hoping to do a few more of these, so I’ll definitely keep the Red-Winged Blackbird in mind. Man, wish I could illustrate the Blackbird’s distinctive vocalization, I absolutely love it.
