Hello Everyone. I hope you're all doing great.
Today, I made this wildlife drawing of Bee Eater with its prey, (a dragonfly) between its beak. The Bee eater is a colourful bird with long beaks with long pointy beaks that makes them exceptional for catching flying insects such as bees, dragonflies, wasps etc. They feed mostly on bees hence their name.

I used a black ball point pen and pelican paper.
Here are my steps in the drawing;

First of all, I drew the outline of the bird on a tree branch and the dragonfly between its long sharp beak. I drew all the features of the bird and the dragonfly in this stage.

Next, I shaded and added details to the dragonfly and all also shaded the dark areas of the bird's body

Finally, I shaded and added details of feather to the skin of the bird until I got an appealing result.

Thank you taking your time to read and view my drawing. Have a great day ahead.

Reminds me of human reality.. Who do you want to be in the drawing?

(For me the only right answer is: the branch 🤓)

Hahaha... I'm vegetarian so I can't be the bird. Also I don't wanna be tasty like the dragonfly. I guess we're both left with the choice of being the tree branch😀😀. Thanks for your support and kindness. I appreciate it
