Southern ground hornbill - wip

I admit, I am facinated with the amazing hornbill birds.
I did a serie (Colorbirds) in loose watercolors including some of the speices.

Now I started out with a graphite drawing of a Southern Ground hornbill. A large african bird.

I have a lot af exciting textures to render from very black feathers to the tough enormous beak.
