Having the still photo made me want to spend a lot of time getting it perfect. I kept it quick to practice drawing quickly in the field. Excited to start practicing with color and being able to document more of the colors I see.
Aldo Leopold’s A Sand County Almanac was an early inspiration for me to begin drawing and sketching the wildlife around me. Many classes throughout my education also required a journal to document and take notes in so combining the two has always been appealing.
I liked the idea of dedicating pages to months and having little drawings you do fill those pages outside of other specific entries.
