Anna Raff
Illustrator and designer Anna Raff has a blog called Ornithoblogical where she posts a drawing about a whimsical bird-related topic everyday (which are sometimes related to random national holidays). I’m especially loving her watercolor birdies!
Anna is a NYC based, award-winning illustrator whose work has appeared in books, magazines, and television – to see more, head over to her portfolio site.
these are lovely! great blog.
I love how she gives these birds such expressions with just a few simple brush strokes. Lovely colors too.
How does she give such detail and definition in such simple strokes?! Amazing! Anna’s work is like that of a Chinese brush master, like the birds of Dr. Charles Chu: http://www.littlefrog.com/gallery?room=animals.
I love that birds!
absolutely wonderful. just the right amount of beauty and sillyness. the expressions are amazingly done. love it.
I really like the first one especially, so peaceful!
i like the first one too..the subject (the swan) seems to be texturized and it achieved emphasis
