A good exercise to look at the detail in the bird and it's surroundings. I noticed his head was more cocked and I missed that part in my drawing. Proportions were hard but I'm assuming that takes more practice. A decent beginning but I think I will have to focus more on the details.
Since I am so new to this whole process, I would like to experiment and try different methods. I'd like to try sketch and watercolor but also colored pencils, and pens. I believe I might start off with the boxes around an object just to get and idea of how much space I can use on the page for journalling and drawing. I like the idea of zooming in on an object for details and also the use of ovals or circles for drawing birds.
I think it will take some time to develop my own kind of style. The fun is in trying though. Terry.
