    5 months of drawing now and I'm catching up to you Kirsty. At age 41 I've learned that I can draw. It still blows my mind.
    All your tips have been very helpful.

      I'm 57 now and started a few years ago. I had never drawn in my life before and my friends and family are amazed by what I've drawn. Many people think that there's some sort of magic behind it, but anyone can draw...it just takes LOTS of patience and a passion for it.

    love how vibrant the colours ended up and as a bird owner I am impressed how little work is actually needed in the feathers to make a realistic-looking bird~

    Oh, this is too funny and perfect!
    After sifting through many bird photos on Google, I settled on one, sketched it out and decided I want to use it to work on my coloured pencil techniques. I've been subscribed to your channel for a while now, and always really appreciate your work and what you have to say. So I started watching a playlist of your coloured pencil videos, and don't I land on this one - we worked from the exact same reference photo! Perfect! Couldn't have been a more helpful video! :P
    Lol I apologize for the rambling comment. I just love these moments that remind me how connected we all actually are, especially in these funny, neat little ways!
    Much love from Canada! Wishing everyone good health!

    We have belted kingfishes in my part of the world. I used to live on the coast, in a house on a bay, right in an area where a lot of waterfowl spent their winters...there were so many birds of all kinds - kingfishers, herons, eagles, swans, and ducks, ducks, ducks. I had my drawing table set up so that I had a good view of the water, and binoculars handy. The kingfishers were my favorites to watch. These English kingfishers, they must be so beautiful to see, with those bright turquoise feathers.

    Well, I came here out of an interest to try colored pencil. When it comes to drawing I’ve only done pencil works portraits and such. I will say the one tip you have given on blending with solvent, I only have paint thinner on hand and the brand of pencils is amazon 120 pencil set for 23.00 and they blend great. Thanks for the tips.
