White-crowned Hornbill
Drawing I did of a White-crowned Hornbill that I photographed at the San Diego Zoo. These birds have a real interesting beak. The biggest challenge I had with this drawing was doing the white feathers on its head. Even though the lighting is not intense in this image, or in the photograph I shot, the feathers were blown out and I had to do some inventing/guess work. I am quite happy with the way my drawing turned out.

It does project realism. Good work
Thanks!
I think you did a great job! Love the realism of the feathers and how you shadowed the head to make the white feathers "pop out"!

Thanks Debbie! I like to get my images to "pop" off the page.
Nice Work I like the dark back ground. Mine have a lighter one & I like what You have done Excellent Work
Respectfully, Bruce F.
Thanks Bruce! This background is actually light for me! Since the bird has a lot of darks and a lot of whites, I went for a medium tone background.
