Are you a shy artist? This just happened to me. I live in a little town and I meet a girl named Michel, as me, and she had some skills at drawing, as me. And she didn't care at all 😳 I mean, our city is really tiny (that's why I call it a town) and Michel isn't a common name. And we have not a single academy of arts or something, so people who draw and paint at a middle level is also rare. And I talk to her happily and friendly and showed interest on her draw, and she barely said "ok". I tried to show her my sketchbook and she started at it with attention but said nothing. And finally she told me she gives her draws to her friends as gifts, and I told her I usually sell them. And she said NOTHING. I'm 100% sure than you, as artist, when you say you sell your art, the other artists asks you instantly WHERE?! That's a fact. And she ask nothing. Maybe she instantly hated me (not my first time 😭), maybe she's just to shy, maybe I was too talkative. I don't know what happened. * Anyway~ after all that said, I'll tell you about this draw 😅 I tried to make a bird which feathers were actual leaves. So I studied different plants to define what kind of leaves I wanted, but I haven't learned it's names and you'll have to conform with this lame description. In the other hand, you won't read a complicated Latin plant name, you're welcome 🥂 Then I added a flower on the bird head, as if that was its brain coming out to its skull (?). And I started the coloring with watercolor pencils, but ended covering most of that with markers and color pencils. I'm sure this is not the most original idea (must be a Pokemon or something with a better design). But I think it's cute 💛
