Eastern Blue Bird stage 2


I've added lots more layers of colored pencils, each changing the color of the layer below just slightly. I think I made his tail a bit too long. What do do you think? I'll have to find a few more reference photos! Enjoy.

    He's gorgeous! I have a pair of these nesting in my backyard. Five eggs hatched on Mother's Day....so
    appropriate!

    He's looking great. I can't tell about the tail but I think it will be fine once you color it in.

    My daughter loved the bunny print and she liked the word RABBIT on it too.

    I think the tail is just fine. =) Longer tail makes it look really elegant. The layers of colors are gorgeous!

    You're doing a fabulous job on this. I don't know about the tail - I'm not that good with birds. But it looks great to me! nancy
