For my birthday in June I was lucky enough to be bought the set of 120 Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils!
To celebrate and use the most vibrant colours in the set, I decided to draw a kingfisher. It’s the first bird I have ever drawn but loved every step of the way and now see why wildlife artists get so hooked on drawing birds. Each feather contains such a variety of colours, it was amazing to transform a blank piece of paper into such a vibrant mass of colour!

‘I come to know the personality of each face I draw and transfer it onto the paper for all to see’
Each piece she creates is highly detailed, bringing the animal to life which is something that can only be truly appreciated in person. No photo can capture the depth and magnitude of each drawing. View all posts by Jess Pritchard
