||Contest|| "My Art My Creativity Week 29

Greetings, friends; how are you today? I hope you are all fine as I am. I salute @shahariar1 for his consistency in organising this contest. This week, I drew a flamingo on a waste carton and then painted it using an acrylic colour.

Edited Using GridArt

Flamingos are wading birds. They have long legs and webbs in their toes like ducks. They live in water that is salty or alkaline in nature. They feed on animals like snails.
What to note about flamingos

The group of flamingos is called Flamboyance
Flamingo can maintain static balance for up to four hours standing.
Flamingos can live for more than 20 years.
Their colour is the result of the food they eat.
Flamingos migrate like nomads when the condition of their environment is bad and at night.
Flamingos can drink very hot water close to boiling point.
The baby of the flamingo is called the flaminglet.

Materials Used For Drawing

Waste carton
Pencil
Eraser
Acrylic colours
Brush
Ruler
Masking tape
Paper cutter

Step 1
I constructed a carton frame for the drawing. The frame measures 11 inches by 13 inches. I seal the rough edges with masking tape to make it look smooth.

Step 2
I painted the carton frame white using Acrylic colour.

Step 3
Here, I began the drawing of the flamingo from its bill (mouth). After the bill, I drew its entire head, the eye and then the long neck

Step 4
At this step, I drew the whole body of the flamingo.

Step 5
I drew the two long legs of the bird which has a webbed foot beginning with the one on the ground and the one hanging.

Step 6
Here, I began the painting of the bird. I mixed my Red and white acrylic colour to have my pink colour and then used it to colour part of the head and the neck of the flamingo.

Step 7
I used the pink colour to colour the entire body of the flamingo.

Step 8
I shaded the legs of the flamingo using a grey colour which was obtained by mixing a black and white colour.

Step 9
I shaded the bills of the flamingo using a pencil and part of it using a pink colour. I also shaded the eye of the flamingo using a black acrylic colour.

Step 10
Here, I used white acrylic colour to colour the wings of the flamingo. This is because the bird has toches of white colours on it.
