Third in the bird profiles... This one I dig. The lighting and colors are just about there compared to real life. Had to use a lot of orange and a few sneaky bits of blue for this lovely male cardinal.

This one will of course be one of the crowning achievements of this practice. ^^

As usual for this series--acrylic wash background with prismacolor pencils.
