Description My drawing for a super awesome drawing competition held here in the Netherlands. The theme had to be 'birds'. I chose to draw this as it is in fact in line with one of my first memories being fascinated by birds as a child. I saw fieldfares and redwings for the first time, eating a loooot of berries and making a lot of noice. I never saw any bird like these before and I was so surprised as they all sat in a tree very near to my home. My poor parants had to see it too but when we arrived, the birds (and berries) were gone. The berries are in fact of the same Hawnthorn tree, I took pictures from it myself

Oooooh this is beautiful! I love the composition and all the details you included, like all the individual feathers and all those berries! Really pretty colors, too, and the shading, and it's nice how each bird is a different kind.
Good luck in the contest!

Thanks so much! I was a lot of work to get the shading this way but I am so glad others like it (that includes myself too of course)! Sadly I didn't won anything in the contest but I learned a lot from it about drawing this way, so joining was definitely worth it!

Hij is echt gaaf geworden! Ook al heb je niet gewonnen (genomineerd is ook al tof!), hier mag je wel flink tevreden over zijn! Mooi dat diepte-effect in de blaadjes en besjes, goed gedaan! En de vogels zijn natuurlijk ook erg tof. Toch nog een tip voor de volgende keer: de rechtervogel is een beetje plat (het is ook superingewikkeld met al die veertjes...), daar zou je (als je weer een keer vogels gaat tekenen) nog kunnen proberen wat meer diepte aan te brengen, dus niet alleen bij de afzonderlijke veertjes, maar ook bij de vleugel als geheel, door bijvoorbeeld wat schaduw onderaan.

Dankjewel! Ik ben er ook zeker tevreden over (hij staat heel mooi in m'n kamer te shinen)!
Ook heel erg bedankt voor de tip!  De meesten vinden vooral dat de rechter z'n hoofd vreemd heeft (je ziet hem van onder maar soms lijkt t ook van boven.. dat was in de referentie helaas ook zo). Ik zal n's wat beter op de diepte proberen te letten. Ze zijn idd niet plat haha! Bedankt!

Thanks! First I made it on a normal piece of paper, but it wasn't working, didn't look nice :S. Than when I covered the part which didn't looked well it looked much better , ended up with a square piece after that . I guess its quite challanging to draw in a different shape of paper, like a circle as well !

I love this, it looks great! I'm amazed at how much detail you can get with colour pencils. ^^ Plus I like birds. XD

Thanks! Yes birds are cool! . I think  the paper doesn't accept any more pigment haha . I use multiple colors to get more dept/detail in it !
