Prickly Fortress

A3 Arches cold press smooth w/polychromos coloured pencils and some acrylics

Its about time i finished this one, i've had it lying around since November methinks, Im sort of happy and sort of not. I guess it might grow on me.

An Owl Faced Finch or more commonly known as a Double Barred Finch amongst the ever painful pandanas, which if you have ever gone camping and ran out of toilet paper with no other kind of tree for kilometres away you know its a tree not to be messed with I was inspired to draw this when i saw a kestrel chasing a little flock of these finches and they all headed to the nearest pandanas for cover, the kestrel going to a hard hault before crashing into the spined leaves.

Drawn from my own photos and a bit of imagination.
