A peacock!
I am rather pleased with this because I think it's the first thing I've ever made with coloured pencils that actually has a decent depth of colour and doesn't look too stiff.  Background is brusho again, and then the detail is all Inktense pencils, overpainted with a waterbrush to bring out the colours.

The peacock is gorgeous - you should be very pleased with him.

They are beautiful.
My cats like feathers too.

That is a really lovely peacock! You've managed to capture a bit of that iridescence that they have.

My cats once had a toy that was a felted wool ball with a tuft of feathers attached to it. It was loved to the point of being just a felted wool ball with a few stubs of feather shafts still sewn tightly to it. I think it eventually ended up under a couch, as these things are wont to do.
