I guess I like to work big! I compared 3 seed heads / pods as it's winter and NO flowers, even the leaves are all gone. This was very fun and I did get to wonder about prickles, opposite vs. alternate leaves (I could tell by the attachment points that remained) and stem striations. I liked having all the information, drawing, writing, as well as a little bit about size. This lesson was very useful for me to think about all the things that can vary from subject to subject.
Other than spelling (shagge- oops!) I enjoyed doing this drawing. I tried again in ink and found it more difficult to make shading that I was happy with.
It took me many attempts (in pencil) and erasures to get the shape of the bird correct. I don't think any part of it was really easy.
I noticed more details about the warbler, where it has black and where it has it's orange stripes. Also that the eye is at the same level as the beak, I though it would be above the beak a bit.
