Day 19: Play-day

I was all set to do a beautiful pink breezeway in the Caribbean when I saw this flamingo and I was finally wanted to work on animals.

​The best illustration work comes from learning the real anatomy of a thing before starting to stretch and exaggerate. So here is me starting to understand flamingos. I'll take some inspiration from photos and character designers and hopefully come up with something in my own style. 

To be honest right now all I want to do sketch birds all day and come up with a new illustrated piece. It's been sorely in the back of my mind that I need to keep illustrating in some capacity. Painting these vibrant pink feathers would be delightful and maybe make me feel like myself again. 
​
But that would be procrastination.
​... right?
