Eskimo curlew at the familiar s-curve

I did this colored pencil drawing of an Eskimo curlew and named the drawing after a description of its home in Last of the Curlews.  The whole setting is imagined.  I know there's not a lot of depth and contrast as the lighting is coming directly from the front.  Originally, I just planned to do the head, but decided to put a background in instead.

The drawing is small, about 8.5 x 5.5.  I'm not sure if I will sell anything based on this artwork.

Last Curlew Finished

I think I'm finished with my acrylic painting of an Eskimo Curlew.  It's called "The Last Curlew Calls to its Ancestors".
