Hello steemians :D This is my friends pet Lorikeet, RASCAL! I saw this picture on facebook on one of the pages I liked for photography, first time iever seen or heard about a rainbow lorikeet. The photo reference came from fb heres the link https://www.facebook.com/aweaverearthling/ Hes got awesome pics
heres how i drew it :D I used colored pencils :D
heres the original photo
I start with the beak, yellow orange pink
Then light blue, blue green and dark blue for the feathers
Drawing these patterns are so challenging
Then i added other colors for the body
and darkened the eyes
Adding some violet to make it more lifelike and real
Adding other feather details by stroke and then filling the page
And its body has got red and green fur and some yellow
And its done
I inked the eyes to make it real and make the eye pop out a bit more
I just blurred the other parts of the background using a phone app :)
Do you like birds?
id love to see a lorikeet in person though
Enjoy! :D
