Laura Mallaghan Illustration

  Look at all of these birds (missing the last three shown above) that I’ve painted every day for a month in October! My very first art challenge of this particular art I participated from Instagram, I enjoyed it very much. All these prompts that have picked really gave me some inspiration and motivation to paint. I’ve discovered that I learned a lot from it, for example, how I painted more flow each day, new knowledge of bird’s facts and causes of their decline, and how I admired their looks, especially the plumage.  Also I really appreciate the kindness from the bird lovers/artists community from Instagram! I have a quite few of favourites, which then gave me some ideas for the paintings. 👍😆 Here’s a gallery of my Birdtober paintings. If you like to see more, follow me @lauramillustration on Instagram. 😀 Thanks for reading and have a great weekend, and for the UK, happy Bonfire Night!

  What excites me the most in October, is this art challenge! I came across this context post from Instagram, usually the most popular art challenge is inktober, but for the first time ever there’s a bird art challenge. I was so happy seeing that, I remember looking through this particular list in bird art and never be able to find one. Here it is! I’m really, really looking forward to it, which starts tomorrow! If you fancy to do the art challenge and you like birds, here’s a list right here. Have fun! 🖌❤️
