I'm always amazed by the size of these birds every time I see them. Living up north the largest bird I've seen is a pileated woodpecker.........maybe a third of the size compared to the largest of the GBHs I've seen in Rockport, TX.
This sketch was done in the Stillman & Birn Alpha 8.5 x 11" journal
Pilot Prera with Nakimi black water soluble ink
3/8" Angular Flat for wash
Left side - pen and ink before wash and then the ink and wash to the right.
Haven't decided if I want to do anything more to this or not. The background of this bird is water and I only lightly suggested that with pencil (if you can even see it).
UPDATE: This is what I decided to do with this journal page. I chose not to add any watercolor but to write notes about our driving around locating the various wildlife in the area.
