Ning An_birds of a feather
Name: Ning An
Challenge Name: Birds of a Feather
Artwork Title: The Wait
Size: 9in x 12in
Materials used: Prisma colored pencils and black marker on black drawing paper
Category: Beginner
Kingfishers are known for their flying skills and fish hunting prowess. But what attracts me the most is when a kingfisher is waiting for the best moment to strike. Their motionless posture full of power and their unblinking gaze capable of detecting the slighted sign of prey. To capture this dramatic moment, I used colored pencils with blues and greens to bring out the bird’s brilliant feathers, variable colors for the locus pod that it perches upon, and slightly less complex colors for the leaves. I also used a black marker for the eye to make it more shiny.
