My sketch came out better than I expected, I'm happy with it and it'll b interesting to see what it will be like later. Easier part of the sketch for me was filling in the sketch/shading of the bird, the hard part was getting an outline with proportions! Details of the wings are hard as well. I probably wouldn't have paid much attention to the birds feet/nails in such detail and definitely wouldn't have noticed the type of leaves or the lichen on the branches. I think noticing the little details can make a difference in nature journaling as it's these details that can give you a better idea of the subject you're looking at and its behaviors. Any additional details gives more information to the big picture.

My interest in nature journaling comes from my past experiences working in field biology and taking notes in the field. I was always BAD at my sketches and relied on my notes around them to know what I was trying to convey. So, lessons in how to journal and some motivation to practice sounded like a really fun idea. Seeing others' journals, I'm inspired to get out in nature to observe. I'm sure it will force me to look at everything differently and I'd like to capture a record of different places as some shared as well as maybe record a place through the seasons. I may even go back in time to some of the places I've been through my photos and journal some sketches and memories of those places I've had the fortune to visit.
