Birdie

Type of work: Illustrations.

My age when finished: 17 years old.

Software used: Procreate®.

Description: Birdie was done, I kid you not, on an airplane. There’s something about confined spaces that makes me want to draw, I don’t know the psychology behind it. Personally I think it’s because my mind wants to move even though my body can’t. So I took a photo reference I had saved up in Pinterest and just drew. I wanted to avoid blending for this one. I had used the blending tool a lot for pieces like Iris crow or Guitar model and I wanted this piece to look rougher. I think I succeeded. I think it really brings focus to the face of the bird.

This here is the reference image:

I don’t know who is the author of the photograph. I just want to make it clear that the picture isn’t mine and I’m not taking credit for it, just my drawing.
