Hummingbirds and Bloody Wings

Now that am done with my sister's engagement package, I started working last night on my grandparents' card. I thought I would make theirs special because I haven't apparently done any art for them since grade school (like either elementary or jr. high). My grandmother loves hummingbirds, and my grandfather loves cows. I'm going to try and see how best I can combine these two love interests. The second picture of the angelic figure is from my clothed figure drawing 2 class with Bill Sanchez. Great instructor; he really has you focus on getting a story through even if it's not exactly what's in front of you. So here's my adaptation (20 minutes): the model was dressed in Greek attire with white wings. Also learned a very important lesson: red crayon is very stubborn and will not allow charcoal anywhere near it once it's on paper. Again, I apologize for Instagram photos. I'm working on making a photo light box for my art. I'll be sure to post better quality pictures up when I can.
