The two different breeds of birds I've decided to base the shape of my model off of are the grackle and the jay bird. For the grackle, I've looked at both the male and the female variations in plumage, as I think that the patterns and colours between these two examples vary beautifully. I also looked at both the American blue jay as well as the British jay, as they have such striking appearances and colours to them. I love the stained-glass looking patterns of the jay, the velveteen sheen of the grackle and the mix of autumnal colours in the female grackle; these are all colour palettes I'd love to experiment with.
I also chose breeds of birds that have distinguishing features, such as the pointed crest on the blue jays head, and the way the tail fans out on the grackle.
I attempted to collect a range of photo that would display a range of angles and poses, in order to obtain the best selection of references.
