Hi guys. As I’m developing the forum, I’m testing all of the features. Here’s a colored pencil drawing of a bird that was created for a new course that is being developed. I’m posting it here to test the uploading features and the quality of the images. You’re welcome to comment, of course.

Wonderful Matt! I will be looking forward to that course:slightly_smiling_face:
I love it. I like to learn more, and I wish I could put more kinds of hyperrealistic drawings tutorials!

It’s amazing! Very similar to oil painting.
I loved your details and precise work in this painting. Truly amazing.
I love the way that you made his feathers puff out. It makes me want to put my hand out to see if he will step on it! I can’t wait to try the lesson!
I took advantage of this class and it was the first time I had EVER used colored pencils. I think I’m hooked. This was my result

Inspired by the first colored pencil drawing, I have been taking advantage of past lessons to complete the “Three Little Birds” paintings in colored pencils. Any critiques or comments to improve will be greatly appreciated

I finally started tackling the 3 Little Birds course. Here is the first with others to come. Here is the Kingfisher Bird.

Congrats on your first bird. I’ll be watching for the next one.

I finally found a three little birds thread! I had sketched the hummingbird a while back. Dug it out from my started/unfinished folder and here’s my finished one. It’s not on great paper, seems like it’s just black sketch paper. I don’t have a complete set of luminance, so I used a set of cretacolor in place of the luminance colors that I don’t have. Just wanted to try them because I’ve had them for a while also. I’m ok-ish with the way it turned out.

Your kingfisher is so pretty! 
Hi Sonia -
This is good. I’m surprised you could get the whites that bright on the black paper. Well done.

The luminance light colors are so bright. The cretacolor greens I used on top of the luminance greens on the back of the bird are dull, made me sad. So I was just done.

Hello Sonia @Meme5. Looks good. Can’t wait to start the Luminance Hummingbird. Just got my set of Luminance pencils in this week and can’t wait to try them.

I’ll try the kingfisher next. I have the whole set of prismas and polichromos 
. I rather get more pastel pencils than the whole trillion dollars for luminance. 
Wow, I missed this thread. All of the projects look amazing!
