This is my Northern Cardinal in my sketch book.
-
I copied your drawing using a grid and then edited it as I watched the video. It's a challenge to learn the feather groups!

This is my northern cardinal. I am pretty happy with it, and I didn’t have to make a lot of edits. I find this class pretty helpful. I am only 11 years old, so I am excited to see what my works look like in the future!
-
Wow, Kaiah! You draw well for eleven, or for any age really. Keep up the good work!

Cute! I love how you labeled all of the feather groups!
-
-
Like working in this very scientific fashion.

The anticipation has progressed. I can't wait to see this guy in colour.
-
This guy already has personality. I look forward to seeing it in color too!

That’s pretty good! It looks a lot like mine!

Diana, why do you have two different dates/years on your drawing. Did you go back a year later and edit? I'm also taking a while to complete my bird, but I can see progress!
-
@Suzanne Hello Suzanne, I have two different dates, August 4th and August 8th, 2023 (the same month and year), because I didn't finish my drawing on the first day. Sometimes I take a lot more time to improve my drawings and I add the date of the days when I modified them. Thank you very much for your comment.

@DIANA My mistake--I thought one date read 2022 and the next 2023. I also go back and touch up multiple times. After the first round of sketching, I often place my sketchpad where I can see the sketch from a distance throughout the day (or week), and from this new perspective, see changes to make.

I found that looking at my sketch from a distance helped me recognize some flaws in proportion. Looking at photos of my sketches helped. Even after posting I see my bird's body is too short!
-
And maybe fix the crest too. Other than that, it’s pretty good! 😊

This is a different technique than I usually use. Don't know if better but different!
-
I like how puffy the nape is

I managed to scrunch up the paper in erasing some lines. Should've picked a thicker paper for this exercise - but, hey, it is just practice =)

I am currently working digitally in procreate on ipad version 5.3.3. But keeping true to the process as much as possible
-
Doing mine digitally on Photoshop. Same as you trying to stay true to the process as much as I can. I'm excited to get to the painting.
-
I use procreate too, but not for this. It’s a smart idea!

Debbie, Mr. Cardinal looks like he's looking toward us, which gives him character. I like it!

Lori, your cardinal's feet are terrific. I'm jealous!

I'm loving the class so far.
-
Enjoying this class. Learning so much.

I followed Jane's suggestion to view the picture of the cardinal on my tablet while I drew. It helped greatly in seeing the feather groups more distinctly than on the print out, especially when zooming in.
