Very cool, David! Thanks for sharing!

Nice! I love barn swallows! A pair nested above my front door for a couple of years.

Wow, nice sketch! Love how you captured the different textures. I'm a total amateur, just learning so I can't answer your question just yet.

Fun to start drawing! Drawings make you pay more attention to details, but photos have far more detail and are more accurate. Drawing in the correct proportions and getting the tilt of the head were challenging. Drawing the image almost makes it come alive.

1. I used to draw the things that I loved when a child, mostly dogs, cats and horses. As an adult, I gardened, hiked, camped, backpacked, and occasionally sketched the things I saw. In my profession, I studied, wrote, and edited reports about the natural world. Now in retirement, I want to slow down, immerse myself, savor the experiences. I find that I have an urge to sketch a particularly lovely tree, a patch of mushrooms, the red tailed hawk that regularly visits the tree behind my house, to learn more about the things that I see and love. Take up birding, for example, and nature journaling. 2. I think I will let my style of nature journaling evolve organically, and not be too organized to start.
