I haven’t used my color pencils for some time now. The reason for this is that I’ve tucked them under everything on the trolley that sits next to my desk so I often forget about them. I know, it’s bad, but I will eventually organize it and make it easier for me to find things.
Today though, I wanted to draw something colorful, nature like, and just cute. You know? The first thing I thought about were more budgies. I had first drawn them about two years ago and I fell in love with them; they're not only cute, but they're also colorful and playful little birds. I would love to get a few and have their cage on the window ledge in front of my desk, but Dimitar says not until we get settled in more...boo.
As I set up my desk and took my tripod out to record, I realized how short all of my coloring pencils were - I didn't realize how much I had used them until now. Most people would have replaced their pencils by now, but I always like to use mine as much as I can before getting anything new.

| Sketching first bird |
 |
| First base of colors - very light |
I start with light colors first and will continue adding onto the colors until the colors are vibrant and bold. It normally takes me about 3-4 layers of color to get the results I want.

| Finished! |
Once the first bird is done, I repeat the process with different birds. I originally was going to cover the entire page with birds, but I decided to draw only three and to fill in the spaces with flowers. I was super happy with how these birds came out that I want to make them digital and add them to my store today as prints!
Today, Dimitar and I both have off so we will catch up on some laundry and cleaning, go to the park and attempt to feed the birds - again - and then later on I will edit Patreons video of me creating these birdies!
Until next time! xoxo - Sarah
