He decided he'd check out some morning glories
Figured you pheasant people would appreciate my drawing especially, so I decided to post it here rather than the hobbies section. He's drawn in sharpie, colored with prismacolor pencils. This piece is my current pride and joy, being my first time with prismacolors and the fact it's been in two art shows this spring.
My classmates always think I'm crazy for drawing out each individual feather or scale, but I don't mind the extra work. The detail is worth it, I think! Especially with birds. Also, as you can see, I decided to draw out each piece of grass as well. That was a pain to color, haha.
I know his coloring may not be totally accurate, and I also realized after I'd traced it in sharpie that I left out any trace of wings....but...you have to bear with me. Did my best with the reference picture I was going by for the bird, and with the very basic limited colors I had to work with.
