I love the detail here.

I tried so to get the moss on the main branch where the other branch goes up for the bird to perch. I love the look of your drawing of that.

This was fun. I did the sketch quickly. The most difficult part to me were the lichens. I didn't get the look I wanted for them. It will be interesting to see what this looks like at the end of the course. Drawing did cause me to look at the details more closely. I think the advantage of a photograph is that you can catch your subject before it moves or flies away. The advantage of drawing is that you notice the fine details.

Several things have inspired me to begin nature journaling. I've always loved nature and admired illustrations in the books I've read. I teach biology and would love to be able to illustrate some of the subjects that I teach. I've never practiced drawing and have always wanted to learn. I enjoyed viewing all the journals. Similar to many other people, I was inspired by Sayna's journal. I like the idea of mixing drawing with text and the partial boxes that show which elements are connected. I was amazed by Holly's daily and monthly illustrations. I would love to be able to do watercolors like that but I have a long way to go to reach that level of skill. I hope to go to Costa Rica next summer with a friend and put what I learn here into practice.
