Wow, check out the difference from the Ranch Quail I drew in 2009!


I've been practicing drawing saddles and tack and adjusting them for quail :D
I was a little annoyned when I penned this and realized after finishing that I forgot to add the saddlebags. Oh well ;P
Soooo here's a basic California Quail in a work saddle, the straps underneath are wing straps to keep the quail's wings folded when under the main saddle straps so the birds won't flap and end up hurting their wings by getting them twisted or broken.
I just realized the feet are a little big but eh... I wasn't even planning on coloring this peice so I guess its alright :D
I like how the saddle and gear came out :D

Oh I like that! I like the idea of the beak-sheathe instead of a bit. That could work out good for my anotogonist's Roadrunner tack :)
