Cathy's video showed how she handled the fluffiness of the body and wings often seen when a bird is trying to keep warm. Using those same techniques for depicting a young bird, I worked this watercolor with pen and ink.
This is a young Eastern Phoebe from the first brood of the year. We have a second right now with the babies soon to take off.
Handbook, 01 and 02 Microns (02 for notes), Mairmeriblu watercolors and #8 round. Used a 3/8" angular here and there too plus a touch of my white sharpie fine marker.
Goal was to try and capture that fluffiness and capture that greenish tone on the body.

You captured it wonderfully. He looks very fluffy! Always enjoy looking at your work! Keep it up.
