Ring-necked Pheasant

Lauren, you almost (almost) make me want to take up the wacom and digital drawing again! Love this progress (but sticking to my pencils).

lol! Thanks Linda! Honestly, I had mixed feelings at first. Now, I’ve embraced it and I’m determined to produce drawings that look as much as possible like traditional drawings. I’m using everything I learned from Mike, but I’m using another medium.

Without going into details, digital drawing has been a blessing for me and I can encourage anyone else who may have vision problems to try it too. Being able to zoom in wherever necessary is a game changer.

The pheasant is complete now, I continued to work in sections. Although I completed the tail layer last, I moved it below the lower back layer just as I moved the wing layer below the mid back layer earlier.

Here it is without the colour coding. I’ll begin on the ground and grasses next.
