In some ways, it’s easier to draw from a photo - birds don’t sit still! It’s easier to get the details of coloring & such. But it’s harder to get the sense of a three dimensional living bird from a photo. I don’t think I would have noticed how many subtle shades of color there are in the Yellow Warbler if I hadn’t drawn it. It would have registered as mostly yellow, with black details.
