I did not take this photo. It is a photo from National Geographic that I thought would be perfect for this challenge. It was originally just a colour photo of the bird. I used a technique that was described in the July/August 2009 issue of the magazine "Adobe Photoshop Elements Techniques". If you have that issue, the article is entitled "Sketching Magic" and it can be found on pages 17-21.
