Flicker
Coloured pencil, Image size: 5"x8"

The saying “form follows function” is nowhere more evident than in the animal world.
The physical structure and plumage of a flicker, a common North American bird, has evolved to compliment its environment perfectly.
In this drawing, I sought to depict the bird’s absolute harmony with its environment.
