Nice story behind the drawing of these to so different pigeons. The details and overlapping composition is superb. They both look at you while you are painting yet with different intensity. Great artwork, Lucien!

    Jirinal,
    thank you for you continued support of my artwork and me. It is appreciated.
    Capturing the personality of each bird is always the challenge when doing commission work, so that owner of the bird connects with the artwork. But of course that is the challenge in every piece of art work , having the audience connect with the piece you have created.
    Have great day.
    Cheers.

A very good entry into the competition posted here! Your fine composition offers us an enjoyable look at your visualisation. Like the eyes and feather detail. Well done and good luck!

I like that sudden change of color from one bird to another; it really pauses me for a second when I scroll across the image and really take in everything I'm viewing. I like that effect and it has a somewhat symbolic atmosphere to it, which adds to the already great realism drawn. I appreciate the rich detail you put into this one and how you even took the time to add the sheen to the black bird's feathers; it does come to life.

    In this case based on your comments I achieved that goal.

Hello Lucien, Grading your work is easy. You have shared another great drawing. Very good detail and color. I used to have a cockatiel, and he used to puff up just like that. Thanks for sharing.

A beautiful drawing that is well composed and shown in great colors. I like the similarity of the poses and the way the eyes seem to convey their different personalities. Best wishes in the contest.

Comment from Patti C


I appreciate all the shading that is required to show the feathers and the birds anatomy. I can imagine that it's quite tedious because you also have to form the body's curves. I like the eyes with catchlight too. Excellent

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan


I agree with her. I have not seen better realistic drawings or paintings. Excellent endering. They look so real. The delineation, colouring and the facial expressions are superb. Good luck!
