Bird drawing-Common Loon

Yes, I am back with bird drawings! ^_^ My wrist is well enough to do a bit of drawing here and there.

So this is a Common Loon. I am both proud and disappointed about this. The disappoint comes in the water...I need practice with drawing water and related reflections in color. Big time. But I am also proud because I figured out a MUCH better way to use metallic pencils. Loons have a bit of greenish iridescence in their heads and I think I captured that fantastically. ^_^ Again, I did do a little bit of photo-editing, just upping the contrast a bit. It seems to help with drawings that are A) pencil or B) mostly black and white.

Hope I can start churning these out more regularly. As I want to learn sculpting and sculpt a raven specifically, I should probably learn to draw them REALLY well first.

Very awesome work, CW. I'm glad you're able to do these again now. The camera isn't doing the colors justice in this case I think, but I can tell you did a great job. I look forward to seeing that Raven!

Nice work CW. Glad you're back into drawing again. Looking forward to the raven too, both picture and sculpt.

Bumping these beautiful bird drawings up again so everyone can enjoy them.

And I can enjoy them here ! A so nice work as always !
