Day 9: Barn Swallow, 11x14"

Sometimes I find a photo of a bird and have an instant need to sketch it. This Barn Swallow was one of those pics. The expression and pose are extremely important as well as color but there is something that I cannot put my finger on that sparks inspiration. (I feel it necessary to post a notice regarding the photos of my sketches, so here it is: My complete lack of photography skills mixed with an effort to post a pic everyday, leads to some janky pics. And for that I apologize).

Project IV Day 18: Turkey Vulture (again)

I can't stop with the Turkey Vultures. I think I might have been one in a past life. Is that why I'm such a dirtbag ?

Day 12

I thought I would try something different. I've never sketched/painted a migration pattern. A more detailed series would be fun I do believe.

Day 7

You can see in this baby Magpie's eyes that he is just waiting to grow up and peck your eyes out. Aren't babies of all species supposed to look sweet and kind-hearted? This charcoal and pastel sketch is on a piece of 11"x14" drawing paper. Tuesdays = 12 hour workday which in turn = smaller, meaner sketches.
