Description

A very quick drawing, done for fun, and to test a blue paper I got... two years ago? I think it is two years.

Turns out the paper is horrible. There are strange lines in it, with vertically and horizontally, and it's just incredibly thin. I'm talking thinner-that-copy-paper-thin. And it's for some reason too smooth but still too rough. It also hated my white pencil, which made it difficult to make the highlights...

It ended up far better than expected, though, but the blues on the head still merge far too much with the background.

To the type of bird... It's a superb fairy wren, and it lives in Australia. It's a cousin of the splendid fairy wren and the lovely fairy wren. I love the names of these birds! And such a lovely blue as well If I ever visit Australia, I'll make sure to look out for these birds and take thousands of photos of them
