Beautiful bird, with weirdly different and interesting names, like 'Chardonneret élégant' (Fr, sounds like a nice wine), or Stieglitz (DE, sounds more like an old school General who forgot his 'von'; isn't even original German, though, but rather of Slavic origin)). anyway: Great shots! 🎩

smooth sketch, Ivan, but that's not how bulls look at me, ususally. it's nicely disturbing, like a melancholic minotaur wearing a foulard or a poncho (btw, maybe less body gives you more torro ;-)
