Lovely Fairy-Wren Female

I love Fairy-Wren birds, which are very common species in South Australia. Male birds are very bright colored with all kinds of blue, and female birds come in more gentle and elegant shades of grey and blue. They are truly restless birds, pleasure to watch, but very hard to sketch. I tried many times and always came out with series of spoiled paper instead. Recently I bought a bird bath for my backyard and Fairy-Wrens are regular visitors. At least I can take a picture of them now and use it and the life models as support draw them properly.

Adelaide Botanic Park

Hello everyone!
Yesterday I waited for my friend to come at the Adelaide Botanic Park. I had 5 minutes of free time, brush pen and markers in my pocket and a beautiful tree just in front of me. Here is my quick sketch of the tree, with small alterations in Photoshop - my scanner is bad, bad thing))

A butterfly

I find myself drawn more and more to drawing insects. They are so alien, colorful, and incredible. This is a scarce swallowtail, it's quite common in central and Southern Europe, even in cities as busy as Rome. It died in my courtyard and I coloured it with ink and Tombow markers, then partly cut it to set it free.
