Colored Pencil - Birds

Colored pencil is a new medium for me and I am delighted with the results I am getting.  This series of birds are for a Sketchbook Project I am doing for Royal Brush Company.  All of these were done with a simple 12 color set of colored pencils by Royal Brush.  The colors are primary - red, blue and yellow.  Secondary colors of orange, purple and green.  And light blue, light green, pink, white, black and brown.
