A cockatiel is rendered in a naturalistic line-drawing style with soft watercolor accents, its pale plumage and distinctive head crest rendered in muted grays and creams against a warm ivory ground. Labeled anatomical arrows point to each feature, from the bird's bright orange cheek patch and red eye to its fluffy undertail coverts, creating an educational illustration with the charm of vintage natural history. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
