Advantage Drawing: I get a better understanding of the subject’s physiology, overall size and shape. By drawing it I can emphasis and focus on some the “Trade Mark”ings of the subject.
Advantage Photo: Stops Movement. Size and Shape are not disputable.
1. Drawing from the photo gave me time to complete my sketch. The angle of the Warbler was the biggest challenge (I felt).
2. The feet and their grip on the branch was interesting and I’m sure I would not have noticed that in the photo alone. Also, the emphasis surrounding the eye would have been lost for sure.
