Looking for pictures of our feathered friends


I've decided to start a little project at home. I'm going to draw and paint a lot of pigeons (just how many is a secret until I'm done ), mainly to get more practice in drawing them, but also to try out a few different styles. It's just first I need some help getting some references

So what I'm asking is, does anyone have any good pictures of their birds you'd like me to make some art of? Or just an idea of a breed in general? I mainly draw homers and fantails, which are great, but it'd be neat to try something different for a change

Either of these would be good. IF you want to use them. You can look in my album and see if there's any you like better.

PS: You can leave out the poop...........

Lovely work, Becky! Looks just like the handsome Scooter! I know you will get plenty of pictures from members to work with, but you are also welcome to use any of mine that you might care to .. there's bound to be hundreds if not thousands of them posted here over the years.

Becky,

That is a gorgeous drawing. It won't be long before you will be one of the wonderful pigeon artists that grace the covers of Purebred Pigeon.
Keep at it, you have the talent!

Margaret

Oh Becky, it looks JUST like Scooter. You are so talented - can't believe you were able to draw him so quickly. I'm glad you're doing this because one day you are going to be a successful professional artist and I'll be able to say that I knew you.
