Jacamar

Jacamar. This pretty little bird is related somewhere along the line to the Bee eaters and has nothing to do with hummingbirds even though they look so similar. I put all the colors l used in this drawing in the shot you see here. You can see a step by step guide to drawing feathers on my tips page. SOLD.

Sunbird

I have had the beautiful reference photo for this bird for a rather long time and have finally got around to drawing it. I was working hard to achieve iridescence with this piece.

Labrador Puppy eating Strawberries

Labrador puppy eating strawberries. Having never drawn a Labrador, or a puppy or strawberries or even a pale dog on a white background this was an interesting challenge for me. And l live a challenge! Actually l loved every minute of drawing this fun piece. As always l used Faber Castell Polychromos and Caran D'Ache Luminance and Supracolor pencils. I used a lot of the Luminance on this piece for all the beautiful blonde colors in the range.

Lilac Crowned Amazon Parrot

This Lilac crowned Amazon Parrot was the first time l experimented with Copic markers as a base coat of color. This was in an attempt to acheive more vibrancy without building up the layers so much that l couldn’t add more color.
