All About Avians

 Look everyone! It's my new little friend!
(Who has no name because G-Shen was too lazy to come up with one)
 *screams in wonders* It's standing on my hand and not flying away!!
See! (: How cool is that? I want one too!

Today's post is on my drawing of a peacock some time back. I haven't really touched colour pencils in a very very long time. So, I decided to go back to basics and experiment with them. You can say this is my first colour pencil artwork excluding all those childhood scribbles and doodles.

I started out with a plain pencil drawing of a peacock.
I've always been fond of drawing birds especially pheonix but decided that I wanted to try something similar yet different.
 I always had a fear of using colour pencils in my nicely drawn pencil art where i was already satisfied with the results in black and white. I was always afraid that the colour pencils might ruin the whole thing. But, never try never know huh? I prepared my heart for the worst outcome I can imagine.
 I didn't know where to start. I just coloured in everything in light blue.
Slowly, I started darkening certain lines and shade in necessary areas.
 So far so good. I really liked how the colours turned out. Especially the face and the body.

 I followed the lines drawn on the top of the head and added in the eyes.
I was praying so hard that the eyes would turn out alright.

 The I coloured in the rest of the tail feathers.
 Tadaa!!! I was really happy with the results I couldn't stop staring at it and admiring it for at least an hour!
I guess the peacock being dressed in my favourite colour contributed a lot to my love for it.
Summary of the whole colouring process.


And to end the post, here's a few of my previous artworks on avians.
