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

I'm still in the realm of pastels and seeing how my colour pencil skills transfer - both similar and very different! I do love how opaque and vibrant the pastels are.
I was not enjoying the paper I chose for the colour pencil pigeon kiss so I decided to do a smaller version of it in pastel.
Really liking where it is going so far (except for this terrible photo, taken at night, because I always forget to take a photo during the day...)

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
