What does chirps beside your drawing mean?

ElizabethBird AcademyHi Debbie. Chirps are just a way to keep track of how active users are in the discussion. They are calculated based on each user's participation–1 point (or chirp) for replying to someone, 5 points for starting a new topic.

This was my 3rd northern cardinal attempt and each time I seem to do one thing a bit better. Need to keep practicing!

Love it. Well done

First time posting. I love this course. I have carved and painted birds and bird watched for long time, but could never transfer painting birds to flat art. This course is giving me just what I hoped for.

So I tried once more and tried to be patient and draw the feathers.

Nice!

I can relate...the feathers are driving me crazy, testing my patience and I wondered ...how did I choose to draw birds!?!??

I think my problem is that I am impatient when it comes to drawing feathers. I think I tend to rush to "finish the drawing". I'll keep working on this however. Seeing what others have done has given my a better idea of what I need to work on.
