Magpie, chiffchaff, bee-eater and woodpecker! Some attempt at learning to draw with colored pencils and I’m really happy with how they turned out!

Love the off-white color and texture of the bamboo paper I used, though unfortunately it’s a bit too “soft” and starts dissolving when pressing too hard with the pencils. Still wasn’t able to find a paper with that color that works better for pencils :')

Edit: Thanks so much for all the love on these <3 Next step is to learn to draw them from real life and not just photos!

    Beautiful. I was just thinking how much I would like to have a large bird print with no background hanging on the wall. This is literally what I was imagining.

      Thank you! After the woodpecker I made them fit certain sizes to frame them all together! Thought if I already put the work into it, might as well make them look good as decoration. That’s where the off-white paper really brings it together I think!
