This first drawing was of a mandarin fish, based on Luc Viatour's photograph featured on the relevant Wikipedia article.
The second drawing is of a Himalayan monal, based a photograph by Flickr user Tambako the Jaguar: https://www.flickr.com/photos/tambako/5541964449/
The third and final drawing was a surrealist piece based on multiple photographs. The background and flamingo body are based on a photograph by Flickr user natural_wanderer (http://www.flickr.com/photos/9332087@N05/5517977175/in/photostream/), the swan wings based on a photo from the blog Wingssail Images (http://wingssail-images.blogspot.com/2011/12/birds-of-eden.html), and the woman's body comes from the deviantART piece "somnambulism" by Helena Rey (http://ankooru.deviantart.com/art/somnambulism-290813044).
