My sketchbook is full of pages of bird drawings so I've only scanned a selection of them. Before this, I struggled a lot at drawing birds so its pretty cool looking back at my sketchbook to see the improvements. I looked at a ton of bird photos and videos to understand the anatomy and movement.
At first, I went with the a realistic wing but slowly deformed the drawings back to a more cartoonish style to fit the original idea of a having a small, cute bird. Despite, yellow budgies having a big connection to the mines, I wanted to have a small blue bird to emphasize that it doesnt belong there.
Bird was strangely enough the most difficult character for me to design and finalise and you can see the concept drawing for him below.
Finalised sketch concept for Bird
The animation for Bird will be even harder as so much emotion needs to be shown from this character. Here's hoping I can pull it off.
