Peacock



It took me forever to finish this one.
Per usual, my idea was slightly different. I wanted to draw a huge illustration of a peacock with lots of colours and details. I looked at tons of photos of this lovely bird and wanted to draw it as realistic as possible. Then, when I finished it, it was nothing like my other illustrations. (in a bad way, though.)
Drawing realistic images was never my strong point. That is why I started all over again (a couple of times, actually) until I came up with this... It still looks like a peacock (at least to me!) and has my own signature. Isn't that what's the most important?

  4. I think its beautiful. I like that you have a specific style. Its not always important to draw realistically - but to put you into what you draw. :)

An old myth says that if you leave from a blog without sharing your opinion about a post, a little raccoon will sneak in your room tonight and it will steal your favourite pair of socks! Beware!
