Thank you so much 
I did my first ones with coloured pencils in December 2024, after restarting drawing with graphite in October 2024.

I wouldn’t have guessed you were new to colored pencil either. I really love what you did with the colors, how the darks and lights meet and intermingle.

Hello @Elina , very well done. Like others, would have never guessed that is your first parrot. Love it. It reminds me of one I had years ago.

I agree with everyone, I wouldn’t have guessed you were new ro colored pencils. Very well done! What kind of paper and pencils did you use?

Thank you.
I used cheap Color pencils from the Asia Shop (they are erasable… this helps my mind to start with Color😅… and honestly I use them further to start my coloured pencil drawings because they don’t have any power in there colors) and Goldfaber (Watercolors without using water).
The paper is A4 ProArt 100gr/qm.
I would like to have the parrot on better paper… but I started buying different kinds of paper and coloured pencil after… and it’s so contributing for the pictures and my joy.

Hi Elina -
We have a lot in common. Specifically a love of birds and colored pencils. You are doing great at keeping the colors vibrant and not muddy. Keep sharing - we’re loving your work.
