How to draw bird feathers with colour pencils

In this 30min drawing demo I talk about how to create the blended colours of the kereru birds feathers and how to get the feather texture looking good.

Great job, Joe. Thanks for sharing, please, do not get discouraged by the negative comments, is just the nature of social media.

I use both polychromos and prismacolor, they are both really great quality. I loved watching this drawing i was having a lot of trouble trying to draw feathers and this helped me so much.

Be very ashamed if you were one of the commenters here who offered nothing but criticism and negativity. Joe, your video is great, your art beautiful and your style very elegant. This is exactly what Kereru (NZ Wood Pigeon) look like.

한국에서 색연필 일러스트를 취미삼아 시작한지 1년이 넘엇는데요..참 매력이 잇더라구요.저는 식물쪽보단 동물 쪽으로 그리는게 좋아서 그리고 잇는데 우연히 유튜브보다 접하게 되어서 댓글을 남기게 됫네요
쉽게 그리는모습을 보다보니 전 아직 멀엇구나 생각이듭니다
많은 도움 됫읍니다.

All the Best artists are Left handed, IMHO.
I wonder Why that is?
Your art is Amazing!!

Not sure why the negative response to Prismacolor pencils. They burnish and layer easily. Great pencils soft and vibrant as they are wax based. I also use the Polychromos 36 set.. love them too. Harder than Prismacolor but sharpen a little easier. Finally I have the Faber Castell Albrecht Durer water color pencils the 60 set. I have one Karan D ache Luminance pencil in white for highlights. It was 8$ for one pencil 😮. I love this drawing. I learned a lot. Feathers aren't easy to pull off imo. Thanks for the tutorial! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

As far as Prismacolor not being light-fast. I don't hang my original art in any sunlight or even shaded walls. I scan them and print out digital copies. So I don't worry about light-fast art. Furthermore I also use Polychromos. Which is better than karan d ache IMO... 😊😊😊

Ignore people's horrible comments, it's a very nice coloured pencil drawing.

Thank you so much for the fantastic video and instructions on how you do that. You are incredibly talented. It is beautiful. I might have missed it but when you were doing the eye and you took some plastic thing and you were doing highlights, what was it you were using? When you made the little white highlighted sections around the eye? Then you put it down to the left side of you, but I’m not quite sure what it is. Thank you.
