Description Commission for MightyRay
I've been sick for months now so it taken me forever to work on this piece, even though I'm not happy with the outcome -the background is just a greenish-yellow blur- I'm glad it's been finally finished, MightyRay waited quite a long time for it.
Let me know what do you think.

It's a cute little yellow robin.

Made with Prismacolor pencils.

What are your favourite birds and why? If you have any artworks you made of a bird post it below!Β

I love this so much! ;_____; The colors are beautiful! So well blended! Love how you drew the feathers on the chest in different directions, looks very realistic to me.Β  Β I really started liking birds more in the last few years and made myself a seagull 'sona. ;D I need lots of practice drawing wings and feathers though~Β 

Since you invited folks to share our bird art in your description, I will shamelessly show you some of my stuff;
Β  Β  Β 
Β I have a few favorite birds but I like seagulls the most! I'm obsessed with the beach - every day I watch a beach webcam that I keep bookmarked and I often listen to stuff like "sounds of beach waves and seagulls" on YouTube for background noise. I think about the beach every day, even as soon as I wake up, like it's calling to me. My boyfriend and I are saving money to move to the beach either via building/buying our own Tiny House, RV, or finding a decent affordable apartment by the sea. I'm working hard to improve my work and do more commissions so I can squirrel away most money into our savings. I want to be a full-time artist!Β  Β 

Β The last drawing from above (from late 2014) is showing how I feel, or how my seagull 'sona feels. I have lived in the same city (NY State, USA) my entire life and I'm tired of it. Around here we have what people call "garbage gulls" - Β seagulls that hang around parking lots and fast-food restaurants. I live here but I feel like I don't belong here, and I daydream of the sea constantly.Β

Your character is very cute. And I can relate to the longing to the beach. Except I'm a forest person. 3 years ago I moved from a ranch to a city and I really don't feel like I belong here. No trees, no grass, no birds singing. It makes me feel more gloomy than it should. I just got used to being around animals, working on crops and the four season each year.
Good luck moving close to shore!

My favorite birds are either peacocks or birds-of-paradise. Also, greenish-yellow blurs are a very good background, compared to me just using stock photos or single-color fill.

Only coloured pencils!? This is really good, I think the background is very nice. And the colours remind me of anything else but joy and so does the bird too! This is a wonderful drawing! You have a nice unique art style, keep it up!

My favourite bird? Real or fantasy one? I don't know what my favourite real bird'd be, though I like crows, ravens, eagles and jays. ^^
But if not a real bird my favourite is absolutely phoenix (especially the blue ones)! Here's my phoenix OC:

PixelRaccoon In reply to allie-huang [2015-04-14 13:09:21 +0000 UTC]

It's relatively small. It was done on A4 paper but I didn't fill it up all so It could fit in a large envelope I had to send.

I could work on bigger canvas and the picture would look more clean but even on smaller canvas it takes weeks. I just keep using really sharp pencils.

This is a wonderful and beautiful piece of work! I think the background compliments the bird, leaving more focus on the robin than on the background. The feathers and water have a very nice volume and the shading is extraordinary. Wonderful work again, I look forward to seeing more of your artwork!

My favorite birds are crows and ravens. They're beautiful and so gorgeous! I actually have many drawings of ravens and birds, but I don't have them stored on this computer. I also love hummingbirds. They're very beautiful creatures with an amazing wing-beat rate!
