As beautiful and amazing as I expected it to be. I am sure the inspiration for this will be very pleased with it.

Thanks mate 😊

Instantly recognisable as soon as you drew the eye! Always amazing the watch the layers of detail appear on your bird drawings, the white posca and dark green pencil being particularly satisfying

Thanks Ben! Yeah, I love that posca/pencil combo.

Stunning drawing, David! I'm curious, do you use a reference image/photograph or do you paint/draw from your imagination?

[@studiobrushpen]

Thanks Eden! For something like this I’m definitely using a reference photo. It helps keep me on track with not just proportions but colour too.
