Bird #2 Brown Pelican

Brown Pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis)
Colored pencil on paper, 16 December 2012, 11" x 14"


This one took me a while... not an easy subject. Pelicans have some weird proportions. This piece appears a little darker in real life, flash photo washed it out a bit.

    Exactly detailed, and colorful, go job, see if you can get a photo of a Cardinal. Thanks for sharing
