Lucien two distinctly different pigeons assuming the same pose and this being sort of a memorial for death. You artistic ability shines through. I do agree with you it is hard to do a memorial for a dead pet. Ray

    Ray,
    I studied a lot of different pigeons, including Fantails, at the yearly show sponsored by the LA Pigeon Club.
    Thank you for having stopped and looked and then leavings your comments on my drawing of these two Fantails.
    Yes, the challenge was creating a composition that gave them equal billing, seeing how the one in front, Frances was deceased.
    Also, always an honor to receive this kind of praise on my work from you.
    cheers.

WOW! You friend's comment is true. This drawing is the best. Excellent drawing and shading techniques and you've also conceptualized their poses well in a realistic manner.

Comment from BrinersHopefulArt


This a beautiful picture. Pigeons always think of them as being dirty and think negative thoughts about them. I think they are cool. They are no different than any other bird in the wild.

Comment from orchidrn


This is a beautiful drawing of these two pigeons; showing such great detail and realistic appearance. I appreciate the narrative, but not sure what a squeaker is in relation to pigeons.

    Orchidrn,
    a squeaker is a young pigeon that has just left the nest and has learned to eat on its own, and at that age is very easy train.
    Thank you for having taken the time to look and write your review on my art work, and the high praise by giving it the six star rating, it is all very much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Lucien
Comment from Maureen Woychyshyn


A very beautiful and unique visual presented here. I love your shading. It's so fantastic. There are so much details in the feathers. The eyes are windows to their souls. Beautifully done and visually delightful to look at. Thank you for sharing.

    Oats,

    thank you for you time, support and comments on my rendering. L am pleased that you liked it enough to award the drawing a 6 star rating, it is an honor to have received it.

    I used prismacolor pencils to draw this one, and used the layer technique along with their blender pencil.
    Take care and be safe.
    Cheers,

    You are very welcome. I?m finding that the different papers make a huge difference
reply by the author on 22-Dec-2020
    yes, paper does make a difference, as does the type of color pencils you are using, mixing brands also adds twist and challenge in creating a cohesive drawing. that is why I practice in my sketchbook a lot, to try different techniques, and combinations, before going to a final drawing. practicing is what makes you better. and tacking class now and again helps as well.
    thank you again for your support.
    Cheers.

    Lauryl,

    pleased to read in your review of my drawing that you like my drawing of these two fantail. They are different in their coloration, as well as in their personalities with Francis, the darker one being more calm ( who is diseased) and Clarence a little more aggressive in very loving way.
    Thank you for your time and comments
    have safe holiday season,
    Cheers.

Comment from ReginaL


Again, very good job. I love birds and my brother used to draw them all the time so I quite enjoy looking at pictures of them. This picture is very well balanced and interesting. I like how you made the pigeons different colors instead of making them the same it keeps the picture from being boring. Bravo!
