Great Blue Heron

Medium: Colored Pencil
I enjoy bird watching and would frequently go to the reservoir near my parent's home, which attracted many birds. One of my favorites to watch was the Great Blue Heron. I love its elegant yet prehistoric look. It would search the shallow water for its next meal, and freeze when it saw something move. The way it spread its wings and glided just a foot over the water to another area was so graceful.

I did pen and ink drawings from my reference photos of these interesting birds
