Artificial Bird

This was my fourth assignment, the theme was artificial and my idea was to have two birds together but one is of course artificial. My first idea was to draw a  two toucan birds instead of a parrot but it didn't work so well. For the bird on the left, I shaded it in for the bird to look as realistic as possible with small details such as the feathers and the small pattern around the eye area. For the bird on the right side was the easiest one to draw because there wasn't much to it since it was the artificial bird. I was going for the plastic look, so I didn't want to add any details to it. This drawing was all done by pencils only. This was one of the hardest topic for me but actually one of my favorite.

For the bird on the left I used this image to help draw my bird. The head position is much different from my actual drawing and the body form but I followed some of the details on this bird. I also followed the light/dark part of the lighting on the bird.

And now to my artificial bird, I used this image to help me draw the bird. I looked at all sorts of plastic like birds to help make my bird on the right look fake.
