Do you like peacocks? *drawing*

[FullMoonFever]

I just got my last bday gift of a full set of Faber Castell Pitt markers.  Sooo I decided to draw a peacock!  I used, Derwent Coloursoft pencils, Pitt markers, Blick artist markers and some Prismacolore markers.  OH!  I also used a special colored pencil blending marker which kind of melts the pencil and makes it pop. This is what turned out!

Sadly my camera eats the subtle detail shading on the feathers directly next to the body and in the body itself.  I may go back in and give it some white hilights in the body and the feathers next to the body.

Here is a work in progress shot

This was after I did the marker base, before the colored pencils.

I sketched the piece out with a green colored pencil so the lines wouldn't show up all that well. 

Hope you like!

Great job, those colours are so VIBRANT! He's a handsome fellow.

I know we have a bunch of peacock fans here on the Arena, maybe they'll find their way here soon.

That's gorgeous!  Peacocks are so pretty and you did a lovely job getting the bright colors and little details.
