A Red-rumped parrot, Psephotus haematonotus

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.

If you have a reference feathers aren't too dificult. But they are a bit time consuming.

Thank you. I'm rather fond of birds.

They aren't difficult without reference either. But they always look good.

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.

I know the neck's a bit too stretched out in this. It came partly from trying to base the pose on another type of parrot that had a longer neck.

ahh fair enough, but that's a great try on using other sourced references. i am never game to do that.
