Little Splendor

This was my first attempt at using colored pencils when referencing a photo. It took me 3 months to figure out how to use those pencils. The first time always seems the slowest. The hummingbird was actually facing the right in the photo but that was difficult to draw for some reason so I reversed it , WITHOUT a mirror. The only thing I really hate are those leaves; I don't know what I was thinking. I could photoshop it out, but that's part of learning.

Fun Fact: I got first place in amateur photography at the county fair, but I doubt the judge had his glasses on.
