Project VI-DAY FREAKIN' THIRTY: Eurasian Lynx

I thought a little sass with full-on dramatic pose was in order to celebrate the final day of the sketching project, so I give you the Eurasian Lynx sporting the I-will-eat-your-throat-for-lunch-look.  (It's kinda more of a I-resemble-a-character-from-ThunderCats-look.)  

What I learned this go around from the 30 Sketches Project is to enjoy the time spent making.  I finally realized that making art isn't about the finished piece that hangs on the wall - it's about the time spent working with the drawing, painting, film, etc. which includes thinking, dreaming, researching, and literally putting the pencil to paper.  It's the string of present moments and sacrifices that make up it's creation that is the art, it is still alive when it's in progress.  It instantly becomes a ghost of sorts when it is complete or simply a tangible by-product of practice.

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.

Project IV Day 5: Little Auk

Little Auks are indeed little. They are round with sweet short bills. One day I shall hold one in the palm of my hand...

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 ?
