Bird portraits
I draw birds in coloured pencil, one fine layer at a time, on plain white paper, from the edge of every feather to the light in the eye.

A portrait of your own bird
I draw pet birds from your photos too, the same way I draw dogs and cats.
Photos that work best
- Daylight near a window, no flash
- Taken at your bird's eye level
- Eyes in focus, with the whole head in frame
- At least one photo per animal; more helps
