I don't know what a crane is (again, my poor English... I'll have to look it up XD), but this bird is very beautiful. What I like the most is the style you used to draw it: the detailed lines, the soft coloring...
Really nice ^^

This is so beautiful! The shape of the bird, the feathers, the flow of colors and the painting are all so soft! What media did you use?

Had to do some searching. Here are few. King Bird of Paradise (Cicinnurus regius) [link]
King-of-Saxony Bird of Paradise (Pteridophora alberti) [link]

There are some better pictures and probably cooler birds with those tail things, but I don't have links to them right now. All of the above are real birds even though some of them are drawings.
