Blu - Rio - 艺术品 lxix

Hello friends

Here is my new work of art. It's a drawing of Blu from the animation Rio.

Blu is the main character in "Rio." He is a rare blue Spix's macaw who was raised in captivity after being smuggled out of his native Brazil as a chick. As a result of his domesticated upbringing in a small town in Minnesota, Blu is more accustomed to the comforts of human life and has a somewhat clumsy and awkward demeanor.

Blu is intelligent and can perform various tricks but lacks the ability to fly, which is a significant aspect of his character's development in the film. From this drawing, he can be seen with a pencil. This was when he was studying the dynamics of a flight😅. Throughout the story, Blu embarks on an adventure to Brazil, where he meets Jewel, a fiercely independent female macaw. His journey is about discovering his roots, learning to embrace his natural instincts, and overcoming his fears, including his inability to fly.
