A very good looking entry into the competition posted here! Your large scale portrait offers us enjoyable views of both eye and beak. Like the detail and shades you created. Well drawn and good luck!

    Sushma,

    thank you for your review of my graphite pencil drawing, I am pleased to hear you like the composition and the techniques used to create the drawing. Your support of my work and me is appreciated.

    What helps me with my paintings and drawing is doing thumbnails of various layouts for the same compositional elements, usually 5, but sometimes more. I try to get my students to understand that concept, so they will not overwork piece, it works most of the time.

    Have good day, & stay safe.
    Cheers.

Very nicely done. The details capture the attention immediately. The shading gives depth and adds a nice touch of drama to this fine work.

A great entry for the contest and I wish you all the best in the contest ~ Steve

Comment from mamamary


There are so many lines and blending with a parrot's eye. You have captured the look very precisely. I wonder what he is seeing? I guess that would be you. You have mastered the art of not too much but not too little.

Comment from FBI GUY


Simple drawing is one man's idea but I see a very complex series of lines that bring the scene to life. The shading and dark lines define the subject and the lighter lines fill in the blanks. The use of the white space finishes the scene and the feeling that your drawing extends to the viewer. I am ready for him to talk.

This is wonderful,i love all the detailing around the eye in contrast to the minimal lines making up the parrot's face. It really draws the eye of the viewer into your sketch. A wonderful entry for the contest,I wish you all the best!

Comment from cleo85


Your scratch is well thought out and skilfully executed. Apparently, you observed the bird throughout. Even as the pencil strokes simple as you say, the important parts of the face are shown. Most viewers will imagine what we do not see. The eye and the featherless area around are especial interesting. I believe to see the skin of the bird. The light reflection is just at the right spot. I am impressed by your attention to realistic detail. The sparse shading is perfect. The proportions and perspective view are flawless. The tight framing is appropriate.
