Assalamu'alaikum Everyone
I am @zisha-hafiz , from #Bangladesh

With my warm regards and best wishes today I’m going to start my post in the community of Steem4Nigeria. This amazing contest every week is organized by our honorable Sir @benton3. Today our drawing topic is Woodpeecker. This reminds me of a cartoon in my childhood which I loved and enjoyed at noon. The name of the cartoon was "Woody Woodpecker".Without any further ado let's move to our today’s attempt of drawing the Woodpecker.

Hereafter I drew its body shape and drew some feathers on it. Below the head shape, I drew a small circle as the eye shape of the Wood Pecker. At the end shape of its body, I drew its’ long tail.

Under the Wood Pecker I drew a cut trunk of a tree. The trunk drew as the bird was sitting on it. Around the bird drew some leaves.

From here I started coloring my drawing, first I colored the long leaves around the birds. I colored the leaves with yellow ochre. The long leaves around the ground are colored with green color,
