Today I present to you the Red Cardinal which will come to enlarge my feathered art collection

and here are some pictures that shows the process of creation on my Ipad

arrow_down_small.png

I use the app Procreate, as usual, and start with a rough sketch

p_20210420_181732_01.jpeg

Once finished, I made another drawing on a top layer that I then fill in black to have the silhouette of the Cardinal

p_20210420_181906_01.jpeg

Now let's the real fun begin with a pastel brush

that I use to fill my black shape with lots of colorful patterns

I love cardinals they always are magical to me as I grew up with the Russian fairytales with the magical red birds- as for preference they are like real life cardinals the females are pale and the males bright red ...so no preference it's just a boy and a girl

ooh...I had even not thought in term of gender when doing each time a dark and a light version....LoL...was only thinking that the same colors shine differently wether they are on black or on white background, which is the reason why I like to always create the two versions..๐Ÿ˜Šโค๏ธ

My preference is for the dark one. Excellent drawing. Very well done. Cardinals are very common in Canada where I'm from but I haven't seen any here in France yet. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture to share

By virtue of their geographical localisation, it's normal you (and I) have never seen one in France...๐Ÿ˜Š
according to Wikipedia :

Northern cardinals are numerous across the eastern United States from the southern half of Maine to Minnesota to the Texas-Mexico border and in Canada in the southern portions of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, all the way east to Cape Breton Island. Its range also extends south through Mexico to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, northern Guatemala, and northern Belize

it seems that, unlike last time with Bee-Eaters, this week, we europeans will have no pictures of cardinals, except the big travelers ones that could have some shots of this (for us) exotical bird ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜

never ask an artist something like that, she would get no rest until she creates the answer ๐Ÿ˜„

This is because I regularly change my way of creating, but never give up the essence, so it looks like a never ending joyful path of unlimited choices for me to create...๐Ÿ˜Š
I think this is exactly the same process for the creation of our lives btw...๐Ÿ˜‰
Thank you much and bisous bisous my Lovelie !bisous.png

Now there is a bird I can join in with. Yours are so beautiful. I would love to look out my window and see them, but the ones I see look like this-
