An ink drawing of a hummingbird visiting a fuchsia flower.
The linework is blue ballpoint pen, the color is very liquid-y highlighters, and the areas of lighting are white gel pen; done on bluish-purple cardstock.
A drawing of a crested caracara flying above some water.
Left a lot of negative space in this one, and added yellow and blue contour cloudy lines to compliment the purple used in the bird.
Pen drawings of three birds requested by IG followers in 2018.
Art was done in a sketchbook and with BIC multicolor pens.
An eagle flies toward the top-right corner of the page, colors mostly black and dark blue with a touch of light blue. The underside of the eagle is viewed, much like looking up at circling vultures silhouetted in the sky.
A blue jay sits on a tree branch, somewhat central in the art, colors mostly dark blue and light blue. The jay sits with its back to the viewer, looking back over its right shoulder.
A (brave) sparrow stands to the right of the blue jay on the same branch, colors mostly light green and dark green with a touch of light blue. The sparrow attempts to puff up, wings raised in a threatening manner, at the jay to spook it off.
There is a large tree branch that stretches from the bottom right corner of the art and stretches over to the left edge of the page, it gradients from light green to light blue, and ends in a big leafy bunch on the left side. The rest of the page was left white.
A drawing of a wood duck couple swimming beside each other; the female is in the top-left facing left, and the male is in the bottom-right facing right.
It's a pretty standard ducks-on-water piece, accurate colours, and my additional (but usual) contour line usage.
