First sketch for my mythical bird zine project, cause if I don't jump into it now I never will! Pencil with some digital clean up and edits.
I'll go for watercolour paintings with little bonus sketches for this zine. I was thinking about postercolours but that'll take quite a bit longer and I've only started using them recently. Best to go with what I know for a bigger project.

I've based these phoenixes loosely off magapode birds, as some of them lay thier eggs in volcanic ash. But with fancier feathers and colourful wattles to give it more of a fantasy phoenix aesthetic.
