Inked Fantail - kiwiana
This was part of a series that was commissioned. Each of the New Zealand birds in this set is done in an inked 'tattoo' style. Various outline thickness has been used to create depth. This one is mostly in neutral/realistic colours with a splash of brighter colours. All the backgrounds are similar with a blue blur and a few hashes.

Vibrant Fantail
This is another in my ongoing 'sketchy' series, a combination of watercolour and inked backgrounds. This piece is of a cheerful little fantail perched confidently on a branch. The background consists of native bush and Kowhai flowers.
