Dessiner oiseaux = moi contente. :)

For the “Calendar of tales” contest, inspired by Neil Gaiman’s August tale.

Oh, hello new followers! *blush*

edit: fixed this crap.

Oiseau!

Color sketch I made for a friend who writes songs for children.
This song is about a happy giant walking upside-down (on her hands). ^^
