Common Kingfisher 2

Picture of a Common Kingfisher drawn using colored pencils. Drawing a kingfisher with coloured pencils.
Common Kingfisher 2. My second Kingfisher which l was so excited to draw as l have been wanting to draw one with a fish in its mouth. I love birds in action and the beautiful reference photo for this was so dynamic!

White’s Frog

l love drawing frogs but don’t seem to draw them nearly as often as l would like to. This is a White’s Frog and l had a lot of fun creating all the different textures for this piece. You can see how l created the texture on the belly in one of my videos on the video page.

Fantasy Betta Fish

Picture of a Betta Fish drawn using colored pencils. Coloured pencil drawing of a Betta Fish using fantasy colors l used Faber Castell Polychromos and Caran D’ache Luminance and Pablo’s and Holbeins to do this drawing.
Fantasy Betta Fish. There is a story behind this one! I drew it a while ago but the colors were so boring that l hated it. I finally took it from my cupboard of no return and decided to play with color. I had fun picking out any color l felt like using and the end result, whilst not ever so realistic, is at least not boring!

Lilac Breasted Roller. I drew this little bird not long after l began working with colored pencils, l felt that l wanted to draw it again and do it more justice. I have sat this little bird on a branch of Kross Berry bush.
The pencils l use for this piece are Faber Castell Polychromos and Caran D’ache Luminance and Pablo’s and Holbeins and l also used a favorite blue Schpirerfarben.

Taiwan Blue Magpie

Taiwan Blue Magpie. This must surely be one of the most beautiful magpies. It is always wonderful to have the opportunity to draw birds in flight. This was my first time with this new color of paper too.

Superb Fruit Dove

Superb Fruit Dove. Native to Australasia. I wish they were native to my garden. Imagine seeing these every day!
