Flamingo With Looped Neck and Beak Tucked to Chest

A single flamingo stands in profile facing left, with its long neck bending into a tall loop so the head tucks down and the beak points toward the chest. You can see a small eye and a hooked beak at the end of the curve. The round body has a curved line across the middle that marks off the wing, and the feathers at the back are drawn as layered, pointed shapes that trail down into a tail. The flamingo balances on one thin leg, while the other leg is bent up behind it with the foot angled near the ground. There is no background, so the lines are clean and open. Try shading the wing feathers in two or three pinks, from light to deep, to show how the layers overlap. It also works well for a quick talk about why flamingos rest on one leg.
