A Flash of Blue


This is a quick drawing from yesterday. After getting the initial sketch down and starting to put in the dark eyes, beak and feathers with graphite, I wanted more. He is a Blue Jay after all. So, I added pastel chalks and was much happier.
This is one of a very few bird drawings I've done and it was very enjoyable. Maybe there are more in my future!

Thanks Ann! I really enjoyed the drawing and it was much easier than other subjects I've tried.

BTW I just subscribed to your blog - your work is lovely!
