i saw two pairs of doves walking around on the dirt today

1. the sound of cooing doves reminds me of when I was little, because I used to hear it regularly when I was around 6 years old and then all the doves disappeared until a bout a year or two ago.

2. These new doves let out a really weird garbled caw in addition to their more pleasant sounds. It took me a while to figure out it was the doves doing it and I don’t know what the deal is.

3. Doves make that squeaky wing sound when they fly.

4. I like how doves will walk around on the ground. Most birds hop around, but doves will walk around and for long periods of time before they fly away. They don’t seem to like grass, just bare hard packed dirt areas.

5. I saw doves last year side by side facing opposite directions and contact walking in a circle together. I assume it’s a mating ritual.

6. They’re really fat with bulb heads. They look like bowling pins

hi!

it sort of feels like i should say some “rules” and “regulations”, even though i don’t want there to be any. here goes!

INSTRUCTIONS:

– Reblog anything from your dash that you think would be fun, or funny, or really hard to try to draw all or part of.

– For any post you see on Ass Blog,…

Hi Ass Bloggers! I just edited the main page so the rules and instructions are nicely bundled together under the header, for easy reference (thanks leahwishnia for pointing out this obvious need!).

Just as a quick capsule for new visitors, here’s how the blog works:

Members reblog Tumblr posts that they think would make great reference material for drawing exercises – then they post the drawings they have based on these reblogs. If you need practice drawing a car, a house, Mickey Mouse, or a pile of garbage, now is your big chance. Anyone can join! Just ask!

I really want to keep this as loose as possible, to maintain a low pressure environment for the shy and infrequent bloggers, and especially those who don’t consider themselves “real artists”. However, if you have any good ideas for formatting or regulation, I promise to take your suggestions into consideration.

Now get offa that ass of yers and start drawing!

seems like a good time to reblog!

everybody shut up and draw stuff!
