Here I am, trying to get back into the swing of things. I decided to go for colored pencil, which I generally avoid for final illos. I think it's my lack of patience. I like them for sketches and color studies, but it usually takes me so long to cover enough area to get the strong colors I like. But, I think bird-wise I managed. I do like funny birds.
It occured to me later that it would have been easier to do the reflection bit on the computer. Sigh.
