This was a fun challenge because I haven’t made a sketch in many years!   I don’t think any of it came easily...except maybe drawing the leaves.   All the proportions of the warbler were challenging to me, and I’m not so pleased with the head/ bill.   Also, I have not used this type of pencil before, so discovered how easily the lead is smeared when adding color. 2.  I would not have noticed the subtle lighting on his eye and bill if I hadn’t been asked to draw it..nor would I have noticed the soft feathering on his belly.  Such a sweet little bird.  I don’t know that this would make a big difference in nature journal, since I am trying to capture a memory.  However, the details are most helpful when trying to make identifications.
