I absolutely ADORE birds! They are the most interesting, most beautiful creatures you will ever come across, each with their own unique set of characteristics. As such a massive fan of the bird life, I do do a LOT of images around that subject matter (although I do a lot of other animal species too!) and today I decided to draw one of Britain's most beautiful breed, the Chaffinch.
Above you can see my finished piece, "Bird In Branches" (yes, very original!). There were many composition ideas I had for the drawing but something deep inside me called out for branches, LOTS OF BRANCHES!!! Although I'm pleased with the way it's turned out, I can't help but feel maybe the poor little birdie does look a little swamped in all those branches...oh well, when you have a craving you have to feed it!
As well as my overwhelming need of branches, I also decided I needed to play around with the image digitally. At the moment I have an obsession with trying to create patterns but I'm not an illustrator and I lack serious computer skills. Non the less, I gave it a go and this is what I ended up with...
...not too bad for my first attempt!!
I would love to know what you think of my artwork and if you have any questions please leave a comment :)
Thanks x
