Not having drawn or sketched in over 30 years, i felt a bit anxious. With that said, i actually enjoyed it and I don't think i did too bad a job, although scrolling through some of the sketches below, I'm definitely a first class beginner! I actually found the beak and the feet to be the most challenging. Getting the correct length and angle of each was difficult for me. If i had not drawn this bird, i probably would not have noticed the stripes in the underbelly. As well as the curve of his claws as they clutch the branch. I think this is what draws me to nature journaling vs photography. Noticing details definitely makes a difference.

I love nature and being immersed in nature. I would like a way to capture what i see in nature and how it makes me feel. I tried photography but found that i do not enjoy seeing nature through a lens, as it takes away from just experiencing the sounds, sights and feel. I think nature journaling would be the perfect way to capture what i see and feel while still being full immersed and present. I was also thrilled to find out that you do not need to be an artist to nature journal. I think i resonated most with Jewel Alston’s presentation in that her journal was more of an experiment. I feel like this will be me. I am really leaning toward Liz’s style of sketches filled in with notes, etc. but i don’t really know what my style will be until I begin but I have a feeling it will be a bit messy, etc at the beginning. But I am super excited to get started.
