'Kingfisher'

​

The kingfisher was a joy to draw, though it was a real challenge to capture such an elusive bird. It is usually only seen as a flash of blue darting over a riverbed and I loved working with all those colours, many of my favourites. Drawing the intricate detail of its feathers was especially rewarding.
