Watercolor and colored pencil drawing of a male green woodpecker. He clings vertically to a tree trunk, looking amiably to the left. The sunlight makes his feathers glow. The background is blurred with sunspots in the bushes.

My monthly bird study for #BirdWhisperer, a European Green Woodpecker!

I'm having a lot of fun playing around with the stylisation of these studies!

A vibrant red Pompadour Cotinga for this month's #BirdWhisperer! (digital; 2hrs)

It was already so red in the reference photo, but I decided to push the surrounding colors way down to really enhance it.
