Pastel: Fire finch

[lark_ascends]

Pastel drawn from a photo of mine. Cannot seem to get things angled the way they are in photos, but, still pretty happy with this. Particularly since it has been 3 months since I last drew. I was actually afraid to try again.

Yeah, I know what you mean about not drawing for a while and being afraid to try again. The engine gets cold, you lose your confidence.

I've never seen a bird like this and I'm fascinated. Would you be willing to add the source photo to this post?

Here's the source photo. I've also got another photo of it over here.

I never can seem to get heads at the right orientation.
