Challenge on March 01-31 from PicsForDesign

Spring has come, the time of sunny days and bird chirping. Their cheerful singing fills the air with freshness and joy. They build nests, take care of their offspring, and rejoice in every new dawn. The merry tunes and chirping of birds become an integral part of the spring concert of nature, reminding us of the beauty and uniqueness of the world around us. Let's capture this beauty!

Humanizing birds is an amazing challenge for artists who are willing to try a new style, unleash their imagination, and creativity. In this March challenge, we invite you to depict birds in the likeness of humans, transforming them into extraordinary creatures with human traits. This challenge will bring a fresh perspective to the world of nature.

One of the key elements in humanizing birds is the use of feathers to give characters a picturesque and unique appearance. Each feather can be depicted as an item of clothing or decoration, adding bright and colorful shades to enhance the painting.

Also, pay attention to the long and beautiful tails of birds, which can be used to create elegant and graceful characters. Wings alone are not enough to convey the image of a bird.

Examples of birds that can inspire you: a flamingo with a long elegant neck and bright plumage, a parrot with colorful feathers, a phoenix with magnificent wings. Don't limit yourself to sparrows and pigeons. On the contrary, choose a rare or unusual bird to stand out among the rest.

Let's create amazing and colorful illustrations together, combining nature and art in one project.
