The black-crested titmouse is cute. I admit it... I go for cute. It's a small bird that lives in the Southern US and Mexico. And it's cute.
I saw a photo of the black-crested titmouse in this month's issue of Birds & Blooms and I had to try to doodle it. This little one fought me every step of the way. Funny headgear can obscure the shape of a bird's head -- you think it's difficult to draw something you can see, try something you can't.
Doodled from a photo by wildlife photographer Rolf Nussbaumer. (The photo is way cuter, by the way.)
