My beloved companion.

in #art6 years ago (edited)

My beloved cockatiel has been hidden in most of my artworks since he entered my life. Not meaning to jinx it but hes been a lucky charm and a source of laughs. As I am completing my university degree I have been swamped for the past few months. I have learnt how to animate, the basics of cgi and begun professionally branding myself and taken upon the role of illustrating titles for a children's publishing company. sneaking him into every little project is quite fun and can prove challenging.

These two drawings were illustrated roughly 9-10 months apart; they took around the same amount of time to draw as well. Ive been busy to push my illustrative and design skills.

Amazing progression!

You need more practice.
I found both of them almost instantly.

They're both gorgeous pictures. I can never quite get feathers to look right.

Feathers go everywhere XD

Those leaves at the background give an exact feel! This is good work.

What medium are you using? Watercolor, charcoal... ?

Immediately endearing. Good drawings of bird. A connection and affectionate bond can be felt.

I find computer art fascinating. Do you do it on a tablet with a kind of pen or use a mouse?

I have a medium wacom intious and a somewhat beefy pc. I really take advantage of the touch sensitivity.
