I have loved working on this drawing. I was asked to make a tutorial on how to draw iridescent feathers and straight away I knew I wanted to draw a Hummingbird.
I regularly post public posts to my Patreon with tips and techniques for the projects I’m currently working on. You don’t have to be a member to see these posts so if these are of interest click here 🙂
In these posts I mentioned the supplies used to get this paper jet black. I wanted the colours of the feathers to really stand out so wanted a dark background to create more of an impact.
This portrait will soon feature as a full length tutorial on Patreon. Each step from start to finish :). Keep an eye out for updates here and on my Patreon itself.
