Day 14 of #Birbfest2026: A Stalwart Fluffball ✨

 


Today’s peek into the sketchbook features a study of the Silver-eared Mesia (Leiothrix argentauris).


When it comes to birds, I definitely have a "type"—and this round, stalwart fellow is exactly it! I really wanted to share him for the challenge, but I didn't want to rush his beautiful colors. I decided to capture his "chonky" silhouette in graphite for now, with every intention of bringing him to the easel for a full oil painting in the future.
