I Have Already Picked A Favourite, But I Wanted To Show Off The Different Designs I Tried Out For My
I have already picked a favourite, but I wanted to show off the different designs I tried out for my ambigram birds. I needed both characters to be recognisable and also have personality, which is tricky when they are the same drawing.
A toucan that looks like a parrot upside down (or vice versa).
Thank goodness for tracing paper, although I am considering moving my ambigrams to something digital if it makes them easier to replicate rotated, which I will have to do if I follow through on my ideas to make a reversible comic strip.

Turn upside down.
It's a very brief comic; this way up is the first panel and upside down is the second.
Some doodles of brittle stars and sea stars and one sea lily, among other things.
happy trans day of visibility

Ignore the horse. That was part of something else.
Some studies of bridges with arches that cast shadows to form complete circles. I'm thinking of a way to make another ambigram out of this, but for now they're just regular drawings that go one way up.
Watercolour isn't really the medium I think suits this parrot/toucan ambigram, but I felt like using watercolour today so here's the finished result. The cherries/mushrooms were doodles I had in my sketchbook that I've finally found a use for.

Ambigrams are words or images that have meaning in multiple rotations. An example of a natural ambigram would be 10:01 or SWIMS but you can manipulate shapes to create ambigrams from things that would not naturally have meaning in multiple rotations.
