Peacock
This drawing is based on my photo during the trip to Birds Park. My watercolor moleskine: 48 pages to go.
Indian Blue Peacock | watercolor + colored pencil
Drawing the plumage (train of feathers) was the most hardest part.
Ok, here are some facts about this bird:
- Peacocks have an average lifespan of twenty years in the wild.
- Peacocks prefer peace and harmony and will try to avoid commotion.
- According to history peacocks were brought to Egypt more than three thousand years ago by the Phoenicians.
- Contrary to popular belief, peacocks do fly but only for short distances.
- Males may have a harem of females which will each lay three to five eggs.
