To say this was a little bit out of my comfort zone is an understatement! Although it does feature a bird, I rarely draw flowers so this was quite a challenge for me. And those who know me well know that I also absolutely hate pink! I had to go and buy a load of pink pencils because I only had a couple-it was torture to pick them!!
I also used multiple references to create this piece as I didn’t want to copy a photograph directly but make something different. It’s why I try to use my own reference photos when I can so they are a bit more unique, but in this instance, I didn’t have a blue tit photo of my own.
