I am fascinated by phoenixes, and I haven't really found a picture that suits how I picture them so I tried my best to put that into paper. I took a really long time to finish it.  It sat still for a long time before I finished it. It's done on letter paper and coloured pencils.

its a beautiful picture, the colors matches eatchother and the phoenix is just awesome!

:-) Santiago Rodriguez replies: "Hey thnx. I wish I knew how to use photoshop properly so I could make the black background a bit better cause with coloured pencils it came out quite uneven."

The blue flames behind the phoenix gives it a very nice touch.

The blue flames are well drawn without resorting to computer trickery. Well done!
