Well I actually laughed when I saw this.
Puffin is my nick-name from my best friends. XDD
And now you drawed a puffin... well... nothing more to say. xDD

They're such cute animals. ^^

Wow that is so freaking awesome
The watercoloured BG is working extremely well with the bird, giving the image more depth and putting the bird more into the fron and center.
And the bird itself looks so real, it could be photo as well. Even the single small feathers are visible *___* Here, especially the feathers on the starting of his legs are eyecatching. The legs and feet are amazing as well.
And I so love the face *_* The eye, zhough many people demand, birds won't have, shows so much emotion, feeling and intelligence, it's amazing. It makes me smile to look at this pice ^-^
It is a very impressive, yet so calm and beautiful drawing.
I bet your mum was so happy about this ^_^

Aww, yeah, those tiny feathers - how DID I do that? 
The whole picture (including the puffin) is in watercolour, I just added the details in coloured pencils. Love this technique so much.
I'm so glad you see that the puffin's expression is happy (I wasn't sure at first). 
Thank you Neko-chan

Thank you again for the encouragement.
Yes, I kinda miss drawing animals now, but it was all I ever did for Uni projects. Drawing kawaii type animals.
I can picture my next challenge: a rat wearing a pirate hat. Now where did that idea come from?

You're very welcome, my friend 
Awww... yay for the kawaii type animals

I hope you ARE joking
Yet, those are edible

Hmmm... are they endangered?
If not

I dunno.. but I saw on TV, some were being caught, cooked and eaten. They seemed similar to eating pigeons!

This is simply a stunning artwork and a very skilled usage of color.
I really envy you your skill with colors.
Hope your mom really enjoyed it~

Oh, no need to envy. You're pretty comfortable using pencils, so there's nothing to it with coloured pencils. I would love to see you try out colours. You're great with applying tones anyway ^^
Thanks for the compliment - it was a wonderful feeling to give this painting to her. <3

No need to envy, sure, but I still really admire your skill.
And I don't think so. I am really no good with colors, so I rather stick with my good beloved black and white techniques.
You're very welcome~
It's always an enjoyable satisfaction when the receiver is pleased with the gift.

Aww, it was so wonderful to see her happy to receive this. I get very nervous when giving her paintings. ^~^
Thank you!

Yeah, I actually used to draw animals more than people. At college, I was so inept at people portraits...
Thanks, luv!

Aww, that's so cute! I love all the different colours in the background. The compliment each other so well.
The texture on the feet look very realistic.

Now you see, in the past I used to draw animals more than people portraits.
Thanks for the kind words of observation.

You're welcome.
If I were to draw an animal anytime soon, it would be a bunny
