Prints of the Oaxacan Hummingbird are available at my Etsy shop!

I used two exemplary books - The Complete Book of Hummingbirds by Tony Tilford and Hummingbirds of Costa Rica by Michael and Patricia Fogden - for reference.

To see the lineart, please check out its post on my blog.

I love this for so many reasons, but your added playlist and use of traditional tools takes it to a new level.

Thanks! Music is a huge inspiration for me, so I felt that sharing what I'd listened to might encourage others to share their art playlists.
