Information about the Black-Necked Swan:
The Black-Necked Swan is the is a large waterbird native to South America. Adults of this species range from 40 to 49 inches (102 to 124 cm) in length and weigh 3.5-6.7 kg (7.7-14.8 lbs). The wingspan is generally about 53 to 70 inches (135 to 177 cm). While it is the largest waterfowl found in South America, it is the smallest of it’s genera. The Black-Necked swan is generally found in freshwater lakes, marshes and ponds, often not far from shore. It’s body is heavy, like many swans, so it prefers to spend much of it’s time in the water, using the buoyancy of the water to support it’s weight. Like it’s closest relatives, the Mute Swan and the Black Swan this bird is almost completely silent.

Artist’s notes:
The Black-Necked Swan was completed on 2.11.2014. Each drawing poses it’s individual challenges. When drawing an animal that is mostly white, it can be hard to make this stipple styling work – and not simply end up with an animal that looks like it has a case of black measles. My solution is usually to increase the scale – about another10-15% of normal size – when making the drawing. That tends to make the dots less prominent. This the last of the extant swan species I plan to draw. The illustration is based on a photo by A.J. Havercamp.
