Hi folks! Got a bit of a late start to the course but I finally got around to it. Actually putting to paper was tough, but once I set out do it without overthinking it got easier. I found getting the placement of different elements was a challenge. Where does the beak go? How low is the eye? How far back are the legs? Translating a whole image into small details felt really hard, but I felt like it started to come together the less I tried to make it perfect. I definitely would not have noticed the exact colors present on the bird from a photograph alone. Paying attention to those details will be important in accurately representing what's being sketched.
