White Fronted Bee Eater

Pretty jewel-colored little bird.

When trying to correct the scanner color input, I may have over-darkened it. The background should be white, not grey. But the scanner was fighting me on every effort. It kept stalling and crashing, and telling me that it was already working on something else when I wasn’t touching it… I swear, do scanners get PMS? Or maybe it’s haunted? Do scanners get haunted? Either way, I gave up.

This one was a bit rushed. I think it was one of those nights where, at 11pm, I realized that I had not drawn my bird for that day. It’s not too bad for a rush job, but I can see his imperfections.
