Back to the Background

I have had a chance to do a little more drawing on this one...the
busyness of the holidays kept me away from the drawing table.
Now things are getting back to normal, and I should be able to finish
this one up soon.

I really don't like backgrounds.  But this bird would not show up
or be as dynamic without the dark background.  I wanted the contrast between
the white feathers and the dark swamp behind him, I just didn't
think about having to fill it all in!!  I will keep plugging away, and using
the Icarus board to help with the large areas of color.
