Bird Drawing - Dark Eyed Junco

Haven't done one of these in a while. Been standing more time actually birdwatching with good weather. Anyway, this is a Dark Eyed Junco. I actually did it as a request for a user on another forum I post on. But here it is for you to look at too! Done mostly with graphite pencils, a little colored pencil and a bit of charcoal.

Terrific drawing, CW! Very good overall, and The wing span and the feet are exceptionally good.

Really beautiful, CW! You are a very talented artist, your bird drawings are always excellent. As SS1 already pointed out, the wings and the feet are terrific.

Spectacular work, CW! I think this is the best one yet. There is a very dynamic feeling that pose. It combines excellently with the details you put into the feet and feathers.

Wow, this one is pretty fantabulous, CW--arguably your best bird yet. The colors look natural and "organic" and the detail on the feathers is very realistic.

This is fantastic work. I agree that the feet are particularly well-done, and I also think the eyes are beautifully done, and very naturalistic. There's a slight bifurcation in the reflection there that makes it look incredibly life-like.

Unfortunately I don't think I've ever seen a bird of this type. We seem to have pretty limited avian life down here. I spent a while trying to bird watch, with limited success, but it was really interesting.

Thanks everyone! Unfortunately, my camera broke and I don't have a scanner, so it may be a while before I can post anymore of these. And I don't have the money to spend on either of these items right now.

Bumping up this beautiful bird drawing so everyone can enjoy it again!

Love how this bird seems to be in flight or motion!

This one is so beautiful ! Congratulations !
