Anna's Humingbird -Colored Pencil Sketch

[Gus Hallgren]

Hi Folks;

Photographed this little female Anna's Hummingbird resting under a canopy of leaves on our Arizona ash in the garden yesterday. I converted into a Colored Pencil Sketch using AKVIS and CS5.

CC's welcome and always appreciated as my learning tool
Warm hugs

Gus

BTW: As forums go I think OOTB is "Out Of The Best."

Gus, I love the high key look and this is something different from you-great job. I love everything about this one and wouldn't change a pixel.

Gus, Everything about this is perfect - Excellent!! The perfect bird pose, the flower and delicate perch are to die for!!

I agree with Denise - Don't change a thing!!

I really like the touch of color inside the wings of the bird, Gus...and the BG is so cheery it makes me want to go stand outside - except that it's gray and raining here. :eek:

Beautiful work...really.

Hi Gus, this is fabulous. Love the pencil sketch on this one and the bird's pose. Beautiful!

Gus, the bg looks like a beautiful fabric. I love the sketch look and the hummer pose

Nice one, Gus! The watercolor BG goes well with the sketch effect.
