Lilac breasted roller

Excellent that you won that drawing competition no surprise though with this superb colourful bird, the detail in the feathers is super and the branch and leaves are to the same standard, extremely eye catching work, a very worthy winner, which competition was it?

Thanks Ros, it was the Colored Pencil Magazine July challenge, they do one every month.

Love your talent Abigail, colour, tones and techniques look great. I have just started coloured pencils myself, so I understand the difficulties. I didn't know there was a specific magazine, so thanks for this tip

Thanks Peter, I have found it surprisingly easy to get hooked on coloured pencils, as a graphite artist I like control, so it's great to be able to finally get that in colour!

Love your bird pictures and the colours are inspiring. Keep up the good work! Fab stuff.

Thanks Jill!

A gorgeous piece. Your palette is really lovely.

Thanks for the lovely comment Seok :)
