In hind sight lead pencil probably wasn't the best choice of medium as it's nigh impossible to tell it apart from some of the other Australian parrots. This one was harder get looking right as I had one photo and a feild guide illustration and I can't rember seeing them (I have seen them though). A couple of hours.
The feathers and the wing placement have been done brilliantly but it might be just me but i think the head looks rather odd. Its neck looks really long, i usually see them more stumpier.
This reminds me very much of my early pencil sketches i used to do of birds and mammals.
Keep up the great work, am loving the birds.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
