ATC: African Gray (traded)

2.5" x 3.5" colored pencil

A fellow art card trader asked me to  draw  her parrot.  Her name is Miss Duke (the parrot) and she looked like a charmer from the photo I received.   It was fun figuring out what colors to use.   Oh and look, no pen lines!

      Oh Cathy, I wouldn’t worry about the colored pencils. You do lovely digital work, which I like very much! Thanks for stopping by.
