That is a very nice colored pencil drawing. Your technique seems excellent. The composition is lovely. The positions of the birds are fine. Your colors are soft and realistic.

If you did this drawing while watching them in the park it is excellent! You got the proportions right. Nice composition too. The soft colours are nice too. Maybe adding a bit of highlights and shadows to create depth will make the picture even more appealing.

Comment from estkay


i am a big fan of colored pencil and love to see artwork in this meduim. the drawing is very good and detailed and at the same time it is very simplistic. i like the muted colors. i think a build up of more color might have given it a more life-like effect, but the simplicity could have been the point. nice work

Pretty colors used for this.
Good composition.
Strong lines.
It just seems a bit dull, maybe it is just the upload.
Good storytelling/

Nice subject of the nature and I quite like the detail and the color tones. The story telling ability is good and it holds the attention of the viewer.

Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Panda chan


Very interesting pose of our threee feathered friends.Their colors contrast nicely with the yellowed dying grass. Since this was a colored pencil piece, I would have liked to have seen more vibrant colors.Also, it would have been nice to have had a little more details on the birds' feathers themselves.However, nice centering. Overall a nice job.

Comment from jerry s.


nice drawing.shapes appear to be correct.for main subject.composition appears to be one dimensional and needs some sparkle to enliven it.what appears to be a background is mute and allows presentation of main subject.could be developed more.

I like this drawing. It shows great character in the birds huddled closely together examining their meal. I love the colors used and the whole them setting, as well as the story telling.
