Hello Everyone! Yes, it’s Tuesday again! Now that we’re doing these weekly prompts, I feel like the days are just flying by! Wasn’t it just yesterday I was trying to draw a hot air balloon?

Well, no longer. This week’s challenge was the ostrich. I found out so many fun things about ostriches for the Theme of the Week announcement page, I wasn’t sure which one to pick. I first thought I’d draw one running, super fast. Then maybe I thought I could draw him running in tennis shoes, because that would make him seem like he’s running even FASTER. But then I thought, what the heck! You can see ostriches running fast in real life – why don’t I draw something that you’d NEVER be able to see?

And so, here you go – the first flying ostrich:

I regret, now, that I didn’t think to draw the ostrich giving us a two-toed peace sign as he flies by. But that’s okay. He looks like he’s very focused on his flying (as all pilots should be!).

And here’s a coloring page for you!

(You can download it HERE).

Alright – so now it’s your turn: post your drawing of an ostrich in the comments below, or use #bobbledyostrich on instagram to share it with us! Also, I’d love to hear your stories about this ostrich – where is he going? How did he learn to fly an airplane? Is he a good pilot or a bad pilot? Remember that any entries we get could be named this week’s winner – of your own coloring page trophy and a fine art print of my ostrich drawing! Go to it!

Also, if you’d like to bid on my original ostrich drawing, you can do so HERE on eBay!
