How to draw a parrot blue-and-yellow macaw

For this drawing, I started by drawing a sketch with a pencil. I then worked the contours and added in details. Once satisfied with the sketch, I used a Copic Multiliner marker to retrace the edges. I then bolded the edges to create accents and added fine lines for small details. I started by adding green hues, then the yellow hues. I added depth to the yellow hues by adding orange shadows. Finally I added blue hues. And I finished the drawing by adding black and small grey shadows on the white face.
