    I had this textured paper left over so I had a second go at using my .005 Micron to sketch (from photos) a blue headed vireo. vireo

    Very nice! And I like your use of red lettering w the pencil drawing.

    I think this came out well. I'm curious about where your light was coming from. It seems strange that the highlight would be on the same side of the apple as the cast shadow.

    I enjoyed using my Micron .005 pen to do a lot of mark-making. This was done from a photo - I think my shadows/shading are off. But I'm happy with some elements of how it came out. white breasted nuthatch

    I like the way your sketches are looking. And your labeling is excellent.

    I was ready to jump to the next lesson, but have made a conscious decision to stay with this lesson for a while. There is so much to practice and there is plenty of time with covid, so I am trying to take my time and hone some skills. A few photos of my journal.

    A Pink Lady apple. The whitest white is not really popping. chiaroscuro2

    The thing I find challenging is dealing with smudges. And keeping the whitest area white. This drawing used an internet photo for reference. chiaroscuro

    It felt a little sterile drawing from a photo that I did not take or experience first hand. The photo was a size that I could draw to size in my sketch book, so it was easy to take measurements. I didn't like the pencil I was working with and all the smudging I created, but I decided to not worry about it. If I weren't asked to draw it, I may not have noticed the different lichens and the texture of the leaves. It's those kinds of details I like to notice when in the field.   day one draw from photo yellow bird
