🦜ALRIGHT THERE SUCKERS IT'S HUMMING BIRD WEEK🦜

As you can see from the first image, I was struggling really badly with the technology I was using. This happens to me pretty frequently - I literally forget how the hell to draw or paint. If I take a break - and I do (because like...I have a kid, a mini farm, and a job all to herd), I kind of lose confidence. And once I lose confidence, I regularly forget how to do anything.

Then I start drawing again and it gradually comes back. But we can go for years in between.

First up we have...I don't know. What is it. I would have based it off some references but hell.

A really bad Purple Throated Sun Angel? Maybe? Hells.

Second little dude is probably a Broad Tailed Hummingbird that's just landed.

For fun, today a dude at the dog park told me I wasn't an artist because I use digital mediums. I don't even JUST use digital mediums, I use a lot of stuff, but apparently the Taint of Computers is enough I'm cursed forever or something.

Male Cerulean Warbler, Broad-tailed Hummingbird, and Lark Bunting, for Tonelli et al. 2023. Magnetic field disruptions lead migratory birds astray. Always a delight to contribute illustrations to papers like this one! Big thanks to Morgan Tingley for requesting these.
