Concentration

Drawing

Reference

                    

This drawing was inspired by the reference picture that I found. I wanted to stick with the colorful bird theme. This piece, part of my concentration series, showed lots of details using the colored pencils. I wanted to make the bright colors of the hummingbird pop out so I used a more neutral color background. I tried to really show texture in this piece by using small pencil marks and making some areas really smooth and blended. I tried to keep the proportions of the bird true to the real picture but I think the wings turned out a little bigger than intended. I think the colors in this drawing turned out well but next time i think i want to use more browns and tans. I think if I did this piece again, I would add a flower or something else to add more interest in the piece. I think I could have gotten the proportions to be more accurate as well.
