Red-legged Honeycreeper

A change of pace for this evening, I ink brushed this Red-legged Honeycreeper.  I used makers to get the colors in on this crazy bird.

Head Sketch #19

Part of the 50 this is sketch #19.  This is Cheyenne Indian Chief Yellow Bear from the 1880s.  This is done with pencils with leads H to 8B, i.e. light to dark.

Head Sketch #18

Number 18 Head Sketch of Chief Red Cloud of the Sioux tribe from the 1880s.

Head Sketch #17

This is the a sketch of Crow Indian Warrior, Curley.  He had been one of General Custer's scouts.  Custer should have listened to him and not charged ahead at Little Big Horn.

Head Sketch # 16

This is a sketch of a Cheyenne Indian Girl from 1880.   It is based off a picture of her when she was 8.  I did this in pencil on white paper.

Head Sketch # 15

This is an another of the Head Sketches.  This is a sketch of a French Foreign Legionnaire from the 1950s in Vietnam.  I have been working on the head sketches as a way to improve my overall drawing skills which will help on the painting skills.  Painting is drawing with a brush and it all is hand-eye coordination.

Head Sketch # 14

I have returned to the Head Sketch practice.  This is in pencil and it is another of the Korean War soldiers.
