Combo 

Artist Name "The Hummingbird"

8x10, Graphite and colored pencils, blender, 2023 

My idea was to draw a realistic drawing of a hummingbird. My idea came from Pinterest and I was inspired by my grandma because she loved hummingbirds. 

My process started with drawing the hummingbird using graphite. Then I layered the flowers on top of the bird and contrasted it with making the bird black and white and then making the flowers colorful. Then I added shading to the hummingbird and made it look realistic. 

This artwork shows a beautiful bird and it shows a combo technique. It shows a combo because I made it so the flowers would be bright and stand out compared to the bird. I want my audience to realize that I wanted to make the flowers stand out. 

The most difficult part was drawing the flowers. I wanted to make them realistic and drawn well because I wanted that to be the focal point.  If I had to change one thing I would make it more realistic. 

This style of art is abstract and realistic. It is both of these styles because the hummingbird is realistic but the flowers on the bird are not and that makes it abstract. It is unique to my style because I like to draw things that have meaning to me and that I'm passionate about drawing.
