When I get bored...

When I am on the ship that I work on (I am a merchant marine officer), I often have a bit of spare time, Which I often spend sketching... Miro often is used as subject matter- I think this is a pretty good likeness-


8" x 9", Graphite on paper.

Done from this photo-



I leave for 4 weeks at a time usually- And am happy to see him when I get back!

-Andrew

Thanks for all the compliments... I will certainly be doing more parrot drawings in the next few weeks (get your requests in EARLY)- They are great practice. Lots of detail and various textures, which make for a challenge. I am still pretty much a beginner when it comes to Graphite.

If anyone has Hi-Res pics of parrots in particularly interesting poses (you know, those real 'character shots'), let me know- I am ALWAYS looking for reference material...
