A concept sketch of D. Attenborough that I will be doing tradionally with pencil (and hopefully passing it onto him when I see his live show). I used my other drawing of him just because I couldn’t be bothered sketching from scratch.

I selected Hummingbirds instead of Birds of Paradise (my initial choice) because they symbolise lightness of being, enjoyment of life and resiliency; being able to travel great distances tirelessly. These are all attributes that I believe Sir David acquires.

ANYWAY. Time to start the actual drawing woo.

Ballpoint pen drawing of David Attenborough; done in about 1 hour, 45 minutes.

Started laying down base colours.

Blegh, still have to detail so much and add all the tiny leaves and pretty things. Oh and colour. Trees are time consuming.

Work in progress update (again). Most likely won’t have this done and coloured by tomorrow for the deadline, but it doesn’t matter. It will still be going in my Society6 shop!

I really need to work from left to right to prevent smudging. Anyway, another progress shot!
