Musical Birds

by garth on May 21, 2009

Musical Birds came from a sketch I did a while ago that I felt had some merit to complete. It doubles as a Mother’s Day gift for my mom, being a bird collector. I know I’m a little late, but I think she’ll enjoy it nonetheless.

This is a newer technique for me, more of a loose and playful look, and I’m rather enjoying it. I make myself use a larger brush than will fit in smaller areas so that I don’t get so tied up with the details. It’s much quicker for me too!

Hey these are really lovely. I’d love to see how much music they make as current passes through those wires. Haha. Great work!

Clever! Love the treble clef bird, and the purple guy. Great cartoon character design as well!
