This is a male red-crested pochard, my contribution to Mr. Toast's Creative Tuesdays 'Duck' theme. I have to admit, it's my first duck portrait ever. I was inspired by this beautiful photo on wikipedia. You know, when you take the time to look at a bird in close-up detail, you can't help but be in awe of nature and all the different species that we share the earth with.

Oh that is so true what you say, Christine. Wow. you did a great job capturing this image and isn't it expanding noticing nee things the longer you observe something or even work on it? What a great duck too!! Thank you soooo much. :D

This is really, really good! Wow...I love it! ;)
Excellent job! I had never seen a red crested pochard...beautiful creature. You captured his beauty magnificently.
thanks for your lovely comments everyone.
SoccerMom, I have all the pictures in a basket somewhere.
Just beautiful, Christine! I can tell you had fun with all of those colours :-)
The ducks here are quite active lately. The guys protecting their lady friends.
Isn't that the truth! We so often take nature for granted.
Great job on your duck portrait!
Perfect! Such a dignified duck!!!
wonderful use of color pencils and certainly is a beautiful duck
I think ducks have amazing lines, so sleek and beautiful. You've captured the shape so well! And the colours. As I have said to others I am far too insecure of an artist to try to get the realistic colours correct, so well done. This is sweet!
Your drawing is alive. I wish to know what is on this cutie's mind. Congratulations and thank you.
Japra, Rebecca, Susan, Lissa, Michelloui, Ocean Girl, thanks for your thoughtful comments, much appreciated!
Christine, your duck is great! I am continually amazed at how much you have grown in your art. :)
