I'm happy to announce I'll be drawing birds again! I'll be doing fully colored and shaded copies of photos you share in oil pastels!

Some rules:
1. I do not charge for the drawings
2. There's no drawings per person limit, but I just request of you not to go too wild and give someone a chance to get their own drawing :)
3. Provide light pictures. I'll be copying the lighting onto the drawing as well, so you'll get a dark picture. I also ask for no blurry pictures or no cage bars
4. The bird doesn't have to be yours. It can be a friend's, family member's, or simply one from the internet
5. I can add text, such as a name, happy birthday wishes, a quote, etc
6. Don't set your expectations high. I'm in no way professional, but I still try my best. They may vary in quality
7. pictures can include multiple birds, even a whole flock
8. toys and backgrounds are possible, just with a picture


With that said, ask away! I don't have any examples right now, but since they're free, I don't think anyone needs them ;)

I have a picture in mind, I'll post it later because it's not on my computer.

This is absolutely great timing. I've been looking through my old pics of my favourite Green Cheek and thinking about immortalising her in some way. My signature is taken so this would be great. I include my best pic of her. No text. Change the background if you want but please leave the feather in. tmp_32126.jpg

Looks like an absolute sweetheart. I've been drawing tons of feathers on the side so it's my time to shine :D

I'll send pics in a minute. They're on my phone. Maybe saying something like- Happy Birthday Howie! (Now, where's our millet?)

Okay, heres my idea:

Since its not just a picture for you to have around and youll be showing it to someone for a special occasion, what if its a speech bubble pointing to all three saying "Happy Birthday Howie! (Now, where's our millet?)" And underneath a "From Rosie, Scooter and Elvis"?

Sure. Whatever you think is fine. (And we'll keep it around too, even though it's a bday wish.) I think it will be a really fun birthday surprise for him. Thank you. :)
