Ooh this is so pretty. I just read Luca's comment - I wish flamingos lived here! The only time I've seen a real one is at the zoo. Did you use watercolour pencils? It all looks too smooth to be ordinary coloured pencils

Thanks Mish. Yeah I wish we had flamingos too. Nope, it's just colored pencil. I tried to keep them sharp so that it looked smooth.

You did a beautiful job on this, Brian! I do believe that your heart is in a much warmer wetter climate right now, isn't it? 
Now me? I'm wishing I were back in my native cold climate!

You mix your mediums really well, brotha. This looks nice and soft tonally, and I actually thought it was water color at first.
Nice job.

Really, you have pink flamingos there?! I was actually thinking that would be so cool to see one of these in person when I was working on it. And I was wondering where they live in the world too. They are really beautiful creatures.

Yeah, at the beginning they used to migrate to Sardinia (where I live) during the springtime and summer but since the weather here is kind of warm during all the year (we don't have very very cold winters) they stopped moving and elected this place as their new home
Their nice PINK color is due to a particular little shrimp they eat (Artemia Salina).
