Never heard of, nor seen an Ice Pigeon before! But then again people learn something every day!! Looking at your lovely image I can see that it is well named. Your fine and skilful use of lines to create textures has worked out very well. Nicely done!

Never knew that pigeons are so complicated!
Comment from AndreThreeThou
I like how the orange and brown colors dominate the image, which set the stage for the whiteness of the pigeon. I think it magnifies the brightness of the bird, giving it an almost angelic type of aura to it. The soft details on it also accentuate this effect as well.

Andre,
yes, I also think the colors in the negative space help set up the bird nicely, allowing the plumage to shine.

Comment from cleo85
This pigeon seems to have a similar body a Bar Saxon, but opposite colors. The contradiction of those two drawings is interesting.
I know it is complicated to draw white areas and avoid blown out detail and glaring parts, but recording detail within those areas. You did excellent work there. I do see detail of the almost white feathers on the back, breast and the belly, The beak and the black eye as also the darker feathers of the wings and tail and the Feather and the legs show excellent refinement of detail. Proportions and perspective are flawless. The bird is well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.
I also appreciate the interesting information in your comments very much.

You're more than welcome! :o) :o) :o)
I know, reviews on artworks are rare. I think part of it is that those people are under-educated in everything including art and language. :o)

An exotic looking bird with all those feathers around its feet. I like this drawing with all the detail in the plumage and the beautiful color palette.

Another masterly rendition of the iced pigeon backed by a detailed notes. Excellent technique of using coloured pencils to create depth and tonal range. Thanks for sharing!

Comment from mamamary
I believe I have reviewed a similar drawing or the same drawing? I remember the feathers on the feet and wondered how the pigeon flew. You are gifted with art and with photography. I like that the background of the brick and the darkness of the ground contrast so well with the ice pigeon. Excellent work, as always.

Comment from iPhone7
More Very informative information on these amazing pigeons.
This drawing is very nicely done. The details are such that they show the special qualities in this breed. The colors are very complimentary.
The framing and pose is spot on. The gray outline and information/signature detract a bit from this wonderful drawing. Not a big thing however.
Great work as always my friend ~ Steve

A good representation of this unusual bird in your chosen medium.The details are well defined and I like the backdrop you have chosen as the plumage of the bird stands out better as a result.A very informative narrative is so appreciated
