"A dove came to me
Had no fear
It rested on my arm
I touched its calm, envied its love
But needed nothing it had"
- Nightwish, The Crow, The Owl And The Dove
This is a third drawing in the series inspired by the above Nightwish song. I steered away from predictable in choosing a mourning dove as the main bird in the piece, rather than drawing something fully white. I'm actually pretty pleased with the results. A drift of swans still to come.

Hmm, the other 2 pictures in this set are nice, but I think I like this on best. Prisma Colors or Pastels?
Shame the scan is not great. Actually it's Derwent and Faber Castell water colour pencils. On black card, she say stating the obvious.
I'm glad you like the pictures, though. ^_^

Ah, well colored pencil (Prima color is a colore pencil so that was why I thought that was what it was done in).
YAY I was thinking of doing a series of paintings based on the four birds in that song, but never really ended up doing it. I'm so glad to see someone did :D This is gorgeous - you got those soft tones of the dove down perfectly.
Oh hurray, someone who knows the song! I had wanted to draw something themed around collective nouns of birds for some time and the song gave me the perfect opportunity to do so. Nightwish is awesome! ^_^
Also, I'm glad you like the drawing. It took me about three days to draw all those feather... O_o
