2.5" x 3.5" colored pencil/wc pencil
After drawing a parrot portrait for an trade some months ago, I got a request from another parrot owner. This artist trading card features Shadow, a nanday conure talented enough to maintain his own blog: A Parrot’s Point of View. Shadow is also the inspiration for the children’s book “If You Were a Parrot” by Katherine Rawson. Katherine provided a number of charming photos for me to work from and I quickly fell in love with this bird.
I love this parrot. The blends of the color are so soft and so beautifully done.
Beautiful parrot. I love your original and soft color portrait:)
How fun! The purple background is the perfect compliment … or I should say, complement!
Beautiful colors on this pretty bird.
That is a great likeness Mellanie. Beautiful soft colours.
I love this…
Thanks everyone for stopping by. Shadow is a lovely bird. I’m glad you like the drawing.
Oh gorgeous parrot, you’ve done a wonderful job.
