I actually don’t know anything about this bird. I selected it because when I saw it in the google search results, I thought, “what the hell is a Nightjar?” I didn’t read up on them too much, or at all, really, but I can tell you, they look like grumpy, little owls. Their little angular heads made for some very fun to draw shapes. I couldn’t find a wide variety of poses, though. Regardless, they were interesting to draw.
One of my favorite images of this bird was one of a mother Nightjar sitting on the ground with her chick sort of nestled under her breast feathers (you can check out the image for yourself right here). Both of them are looking towards the camera with faces that seems to say “Why the hell’d you wake me up, bro?” I kind of imagine that’s what Ripley and I are going to be like once I start staying home with her.
Well, that’s all I’ve got for now. I’m drawing day to day, so if I fall behind, I’ll have to do another throwback. Also, if there is any animal you want sketched (it doesn’t have to be a bird), make sure to let me know in the comments. I mostly just meander around google image search refinements until I find something I like, so I’m always open to suggestion.
Until next time!
I love feedback, so if you have any questions, ideas, or requests, make sure to leave a comment below. And, if you need more fun stuff to shove into your eyeballs, hop over and check out my YouTube channel, Chimp Skipper, or my online portfolio.
