[smallerdelusions]

At the request of @awkwardbirdsdreaming (and my own desire to do so!) here's my prompt list of extinct/critically endangered birds I'll be drawing for October!

If you want to join, join in! Do the month, do a week, pick-and-choose, make your own: I want to see them all! Tag #extinctbirds2025 and I'll be catching the ones I can find via my main blog, lesserdreams. Feel free to share this image to other platforms, too! Transcription and scientific names are below the cut.

Happy Drawtober!

Cringetober 2025 #2: Weird Colors

Remembering Extinct Birds 2025 #2: Labrador Duck

The colours for sure could've been weirder but I decided to just close my eyes and randomly pick 4 of my markers.

And since I didn't know what to draw I decided to also take part in the Remembering Extinct Birds Drawtober since I really like the idea! Maybe I'll draw some more birds if I have no other idea at some point this month :)
