Latus Rostrum translates from Latin to English as wide beak, or broad billed. These hummingbirds migrate through Texas on their way to Mexico. I have seen a few, and I love them. I have desert willows, prickly pears, and other plants that have the red or pink nectar flowers they love to feed on. They are also very brave and have flown up and hovered near me, as if they were curious. It was really fun drawing this on here, but a JOB! :)
a fraction of a second captured here. Beautiful and much lighter than your earlier works. You are getting better and better! can't wait for your next masterpiece.
It's coming out great! I'm still trying to figure out your style. I mean I can tell it's your work right away, but I can't point out what's making it so different from other drawings. Maybe the way you use greyish colors. Hum..
It's probably recognizable because I do it here exactly as I would if I were working on a real canvas, maybe? I build up from a base and I blend alot, and then try not to "spit and rub" the brush strokes at the end, leave them visible. Maybe that's it...
