Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Wilson's Bird of Paradise, Cicinnurus respublica is a small, up to 21cm long, passerine bird of the Paradisaeidae family. The male is a red and black bird of paradise with a yellow mantle on its neck, light green mouth, rich blue feet and two curved violet tail feathers. The head is naked blue with black double cross pattern on it. The female is a brownish bird with bare blue crown.
I was introduced to this family of birdy by watching the Planet Earth series on Discovery. Though I’m fine with how the drawing turned out, you can’t quite depict the unique beauty of this bird without using color. Maybe I’ll start doing some more painting style images with more color… they just take a bit longer.
