Oh that poor bird!! Yikes! I admit I freaked out a little and drew that one too fast... Better try that one again...



That felt better!

I do like my bird of paradise, though...



Springbok got kind of a spare tire... something weird happened with his hind foot... that one ear looks like a third horn... If you can't laugh at yourself, you're not having fun.

That was really difficult to let go of the outcome, but fun in the end. I like that it forced me to really slow down and try to coordinate my hand movements with my view. I liked my springbok the best!

LOL, I found myself stopping after doing a section to pick up my pencil and draw a new limb or section.

It still came out looking funky!

I notice I’m better on the down strokes, less accurate on the return, or upstrokes.

I never attempted this before, an interesting exercise, my newt was pretty good in some parts, not so much in others, but the general body shape is there.

When there are many small appendages it's harder to draw without removing hand from page then when it's more of a solid mass like the newt, but you had to focus on both the subject and the flow of your hand so I'd think it's helpful when sketching a moving subject.
