Continuing on with this weeks Highlighter Artwork theme… here is a Toucan Bird.

You may be thinking “Gee, it sure isn’t that colourful”… no, it’s not, but I thought that the nose would be a great opportunity to make some nice blends, and I felt like figuring out how to show the body without just making it flat black. But not only that, I also figured out a new technique to make my highlighters ‘lighter’ in tone than they should be able to do. This entire project is about overcoming obstacles… Each one is new and has it’s own life about it.

And I really enjoyed drawing this one… so, I’m happy.
