This is for 'faestock's 'Challenge #11 - Cardinal'faestock.deviantart.com/journa… I couldn't help but be moved by the red and just had to try joining in. I've been watching her little challenges for awhile and found the idea inspiring.

This was a vary fun to get into, and I used a different technique then I normally do. I had forgone using any inks, kinda scary actually. Also these colors I would normally not pick. I realized I'd normally choose purple for the woman. But decided I just had to go with red as the dominant color to be different. Very interesting trying now things. I have to say it was nice to work from stock so I could check on my anatomy here. Also to work so hard on a piece after not doing much art for a lone time. I rushed to get this done in time-- and really tired out my hand!

Prismacolor pencils, and a little Lyra on 8x6 100 LB. Strathmore bristal paper. I used 's stock (faestock.deviantart.com/art/Ca… for the woman's pose and most of her clothes.

Edit: Changed name to one I like a little better-- also my Cardinals I see are a little big... uh.. they are in the foreground! Yeah we'll go with that!
