Description

Father's birthday is on 8th Feb and this year I wanted to draw him a treecreeper. These are quite cute little birds that love to live in old coniferous forests.

"Treecreepers climb up tree trunks in search of food from ground level to about halfway up the tree, before fluttering downwards towards the base of the trunk of the next tree they want to search. Their bright white chins reflect light onto the tree trunk like a mirror to help them spot their invertebrate prey in holes and crevasses in the bark."

I'm also super excited because I get to interview the authors of the non-fiction book that focuses on treecreepers, it gets published on May (available only in Finnish sadly).

Used pencil for sketching, colored using water-soluble pencils and finished it in approx 3,5 hours.
