Bluethroat
The design process and the thirteen color separations to produce the Eurasian Hobby were quite time intensive. So it was quite pleasant to return to more familiar, smaller, terrain for a bit. Without the constraint of a 15✕15cm frame I could pay more attention to the exact position on the paper. Of course, most of the complexity was in all those colours around the throat and chest. Getting the length and direction of tail and feet just right took some time as well. Quite the perky stance no?
