What species are still left?
Um, the other 300 something we haven’t done yet?
Random ideas (for you, though I might do some of them): palm cockatoo, golden conure, blossom headed parakeet, shamrock macaw, leaf lorikeet

Wow, you are much better than me - in digital I'm not able to draw even a nectarineπŸ™‚
The Polish version of purple crowned lorikeet I made in full digital:

Now probably you are thinking what the Polish name (nektarynka zΕ‚otoucha) means - golden eared nectarine 🀣
Does anyone remember this art?

Here's a varied lorikeet... According to the newest Polish name

Most people here (if they heard about them) know this species as "lorysa biaΕ‚ooka" (white eyed lorikeet) but because of the taxonomy changes in 2020, it was renamed to "nektarynka biaΕ‚ooka" (white eyed nectarine).

Sorry, I have no idea how to draw the English name πŸ˜›

Edited a photo I drew of Gremlin to add the cinnamon...The canister of cinnamon looks like crap and it's making me mad lol. My digital skills are 0 unless I'm using the airbrush.
