Nice thoughts about a beautiful bird. I'm glad you protect nature too. Thank you for drawing Kingfisher.

[@Amiehowardart]

Thanks for watching :)

[@InLiquidColor]

Lovely video Amie! Thanks so much for you participation in the AAC. The only kingfishers I've seen was when I was traveling to Africa. I believe we got to see three species, including this one. They're so cute!

[@lucehermezs]

the kingfisher was on the cover of my childhood fav book for determining local fauna so seeing it as an aac video just made me sooooo happy. so many good memories aftached and now even some of great art and infos! even though you dont draw a lot of moss/bark it looked soo beautiful!

[@SadieSavestheDay]

The kingfisher is defiantly one of those bird that’s just iconic. Great choice and great result! I didn’t know they were so fiercely territorial. I’m for sure looking forward to the tutorial in the future, since I’m having some fun with colored pencils at the moment!

[@Amiehowardart]

DeeJay28 thank you 😊 glad you enjoyed the video!

[@JenniferCharleeArt]

I'm so happy you went with the kingfisher...so many beautiful colors and it was so memorizing to watch you add all the layers and strokes! 💓💓💓 Fantastic job and I'm so happy you could join us this month! ^_^

[@Amiehowardart]

Jennifer Charlee Art thanks Jennifer 💖 I really enjoyed drawing him...my bright pencils were so excited to come out of their pot 😃😃

As a person with no patience for colored pencils, I am in awe of this artwork! Great job on both the piece and the interesting topic

[@Amiehowardart]

Anita Gadzińska thanks Anita :) so thrilled to be able to contribute to this round 😄

[@elgabenedicta]

Beautiful work Amie! 😍😍Please keep on participating on the AAC 🐒🐕🐈🐆🐅💙💙

[@pamsanby8506]

Beautiful kingfisher... I’ve drawn so many I could do so in my sleep! Yours is marvellous.

[@Amiehowardart]

Pam Sanby thanks Pam :)

[@IvyLilyCreative]

Such beautiful, striking colors! And interesting to hear about the bird, I'm not sure if I've ever seen a kingfisher in real life. Maybe on a holiday, but never in Finland, where I live. Wikipedia says Southern Finland is at the edge of their habitat so I do have a chance of seeing it.

What a great idea for you all to do this ❤️ another beautiful drawing Amie x

[@DrawingWithFire]

Great video Amie! 😁 You did a beautiful job with the kingfisher. Being in northern Arizona (US) this is definitely not a bird we get to see in our drier climate. I appreciated learning about a new animal. 😃 Thanks for sharing!

[@Amiehowardart]

Valarie Connell /DrawingWithFire thanks Valerie 😃 there are a few in the area I live but I have never had the chance to see one “in the flesh”

Great video and loved hearing all the Kingfisher facts. Well done - excellent coloured pencil drawing.

[@Amiehowardart]

Sue Solley thank you Sue :) glad you enjoyed it!

[@MeowMeowKapow]

Wow! Jennifer wasn’t kidding when she said that you did a gorgeous job on your kingfisher! Your style is one that completely boggles my mind and I’m absurdly impressed with just how many zillions of pencil strokes it took to create this. And how lovely to get to use exciting colors like teal! And that you got to work with textures that you don’t get to play with as often! I’ve never seen a kingfisher before, but I feel like I may as well have after seeing this video. Crazy colors are my favorite colors, and seeing them exist in the Wild is so wonderful! =^.^= Also, you did a great job of explaining the AAC in this video-I feel so shameful for having barely glazed over our mission in my video when it’s so, so important! Ah well.

[@Amiehowardart]

Meow Meow Kapow thanks, Kat! 💖 it was a great piece to work on and one of pure indulgence...pieces like this always make me feel guilty for really enjoying them 🙈 when there are others that are such a task. I wouldn’t worry, I probably should have mentioned you and the other ladies a little more 🙈🙈

[@JenniferCharleeArt]

Isn't it incredible?! 😍😍😍

[@wickedillusionart]

Really great video, amazing work and greatly informative! Love kingfishers although I'll probably never see them in real life, like many other birds I've developed a slight obsession with. :D Beautiful colors and detail, well done!

[@Amiehowardart]

WickedIllusionArt thank yoouuu! I’ve never seen one in the flesh in the wild...there’s some wetlands near me that they’re supposedly nested in...I think a day trip may be in order 😁

[@annettet2561]

Absolutely lovely!

[@Amiehowardart]

Annette T thanks Annette 😁😁

[@MarcioGraff]

Incrível! Obrigado por compartilhar o seu conhecimento e talento.

[@anniegomes5894]

AMAZING

[@Amiehowardart]

Thanks so much =D

[@VisualMind]

I was thinking about doing a kingfisher for this theme as well as they are incredibly beautiful! I just changed the animal I went with last minute 😅 Your artwork turned out so beautiful! You must be very skilled and patient to do such a realistic colored pencil piece!

[@joyfulldj]

[@Amiehowardart]

A .Vultink yes so many varieties! 😄🐤

[@joyfulldj]

[@eduardojimenezrodriguez8762]

Amie your drawings are amazing, I get a quick question, which are the favorite color pencils you usually use?

[@yulis8940]

Awwww how cute ^^ league of kingfishers :D I've done a speedpaint too few month ago) really loved that you provided so much interesting info in the voice over. I was thinking of it but I'm too shy for voiceovers yet)

[@Amiehowardart]

Ah don’t be shy! Although, I know it can be a scary thing 🙈🙈

[@vhart8568]

good

[@TwistedTattoo.WarShorts]

Amazing so good😁👍👍

[@Amiehowardart]

J m Art With Detail thank you :) I really enjoyed this piece 😁

[@EveBolt]

This piece is amazing!! It was really interesting to see it come together (I'm really not familiar with color pencil processes hehe). Thanks for the great video and very nice commentary :)

[@Amiehowardart]

Eve Bolt - Bolt's Vault aww thanks Eve :) I find coloured pencils so therapeutic...I’d love to be able to paint the way you do 💖

[@samikshamandare3403]

Can you show us the tutorial of how to draw fur of moluccan cockatoo?

[@Karla_Smith]

New here, nice to meet you. Lovely Kingfisher art you've created. I've never seen one being from California, US., and I enjoyed hearing about them as you draw. Do you use a blender kind of method when using colored pencils? I am exploring drawing and watercolor these days and would enjoy using both. Warm regards, ~ Karla

[@Amiehowardart]

Karla Smith hey Karla! I burnish with my white pencil to blend the colours 😀

[@breannamorgan4822]

When u do coloured portraits can u use white just for blending or can u use it for fur to.

[@Amiehowardart]

You can use any colours and yes, it works great for fur, too

[@birgitschwaika4761]

( Sound off) wished i could have the sketch. I am an absolute beginner. Wow

[@andrewfrench1941]

What colour pencils do you use in your videos

[@Amiehowardart]

Faber Castell Polychromos 💪🏻😍

[@cascajada]

So pretty...a bit too fast for me

[@sindhhuuartwork5938]

If you say British one more you would offend more Indian
