Day 9 of #Birbfest2026: The Majestic Tail 🕊️✨

 

Today’s peek into the sketchbook features a study of the Indian Paradise Flycatcher (Terpsiphone paradisi).

I completely fell in love with the elegant, winding lines of this bird's long tail feathers! Capturing that sense of movement in graphite was such a meditative and joyful process.

My next #Birbfest share will be a "smol" painting of a Mountain Bluebird, coming your way on the 11th. I can’t wait to show you the color on that one!
