I actually rather like the simplicity of this piece already - if only I could just leave it like this 😂 A larger piece, really enjoying the colder, desaturated colours.

Such a round birb! I have overworked the paper, worked the wrong way round (always go dark to light with pastels....) and added far too many layers already, and I am loving it :) .

Love the moody tone to the original photo! Shame I have very few grey pencils, it's not so easy to capture the subtleties! Enjoying the process of telling my brain *not* to draw every single feather as well XD

Pigeon in pastel! Loved the colour palette, cooler and desaturated is very delicious to work with. Very much getting to grips with pastels still, learning their ways. I love that I can create a distance blur, such as the foot and back of the birb. ... I may add a hint of a second foot, as at the moment it kinda looks like she has only one :D
