I am not brand new to drawing, but have much to learn. Drawing from a photo made it easy to focus on detail. I imagine drawing birds out in the field would be challenging with all their twitchy movements. Much harder to capture their shapes and details. I think I'll need to learn to make more general shapes to start and then fill in detail later. I have a tendency to make some shapes and do detail as I go, but I am guessing that is not the best way to do it.
