Today’s peek into the sketchbook features a study of the Dalmatian Pelican (Pelecanus crispus).
As the largest member of the pelican family, these birds have such an impressive presence. I wanted to focus this graphite sketch exclusively on a portrait to capture those iconic, wild curly feathers on the head and the elegant extension of the neck.
There is so much character in that open beak! I’d love to do a full-toned drawing of these fantastic birds at some point to really explore the light and shadow on those textures. ✏️☁️
