Duck Stamp

This project had a few requirements that we had to follow. For instance, we couldn't have a border and the species of duck we chose had to look exact when we drew them. For this project, I decided to draw the redheaded diving duck. I decided I wanted to draw this duck because I liked how bold the head of this duck was and I found it intriguing. I first started this piece with a little research about the duck to make sure the artwork could be as accurate as possible. I included a two male ducks in this piece and had one just floating and the other diving for food because I thought it would be different. I used pencil to sketch out my ducks and eventually, once I was satisfied, I used watercolor to add color to the piece. If I could go back and change anything, it would be to use watercolor pencils instead of watercolor because it could have been more detailed.
