Birds are everywhere and they are very trendy, so sorry to give you yet another…
… it’s just that I see them everywhere:
I guess that one was pretty obvious!
But what do you make out of this “blob”?
Print it out, turn it around and around, and find and finish the drawing! (There is no right answer.)
Post links to your finished drawings in the comments, or add it to the Drawing Lab flickr group!
Happy Thursday!

It’s a bird plot!
Carla, your birds are not like the ones being spoofed on the SNL Put a Bird On It video… This fella is very cute.

I tend to see a lot of birds in my blobs, too. In fact, I just started one that is a bit of a bird-moose cross.
I like your bird’s “hair.”

Ok-this has nothing to do with the drawing-I can’t seem to find the button to leave a comment! I can only reply to other people’s comments. Can you help? I would love to be able to comment all by myself

You have to scroll way down to see the comment field. It’s just a quirk of how the site displays…

I love your bird Carla, especially the colors. I tend to see both birds and fish everywhere. Miss you!

Carla your birds are certainly not common place. Never too many of yours in the world. Keep blessing us with them.

OK Carla – I took your challenge and even posted it on the group.
Your teaching and encouragement has certainly pushed me out of my comfort zone and hopefully the results will make you chuckle and enjoy a moment in time.

You have now tainted my view toward a bird! My kids and I have played the squiggle game for over 20 years (oops my age is showing!) where one person makes a squiggle and the other makes something out of it. Perhaps now we should start a Blob game!

I refuse to stop liking something just because it has gone and gotten trendy. Besides, your birds are special.
I’m scanning & uploading my blobimal to the DL group now. Thanks for a bit of fun this morning!

Carla,
I love birds but aren’t there cats in those blobs?
Conrad
I’m working on my website and will put a link to yours. It’s only started but feel free to take a look and critique.
