Brown Pelican

11x8.5 finished version of a pelican on the wharf.  After my first sketch, Inktense pencils were added as seen in the image below.  Next I added water and gently brushed in the colors.  It is easy to see how just a small amount of water changes the whole composition into a more softer feel from a graphic presentation.

Initial sketch done with Pigma Micron 01 pen and is featured on WetCanvas.com in the Southwest/Western forum for March.
