[wip] Wild pigeon (Patreon)

I've had a few opportunities to spot pigeons this summer, as a pair of pigeons have been frequenting my apartment's balcony. The nest is probably built somewhere else, I'm guessing they used my balcony as a toilet. I struggled a bit with them cleaning their poop every day lol. 

( I didn't know that bird poop could have different colors. I thought it was mostly white. The last bird droppings I removed were purple! I'm super curious what they ate)

Nevertheless, bird watching is always a pleasant experience.

It is now forbidden to feed them where I live, but in the past I liked to feed the birds in the park. 

It's a study of pigeons.

They have a well-developed chest and short legs...

I like how they are rounded when sleeping or sitting on the ground, maybe I'll have a chance to draw that later.

Originally, I was going to draw only 9 animals, mainly for the variation of rock dove, but the more I learned about pigeons, the more I was overwhelmed by their colorful appearance.

So I focused on the appearance of wild animal.

There are over 300 wild pigeons, and I picked 21!

In the picture, I drew the same size, but the victoria crowend pigeon is quite large.

Thanks! wallpapers will upload soon.
