My bird is pretty basic (especially after seeing others' birds in these posts). I used colored pencils. 1 - I liked drawing from a photo, because I can keep looking back at the photo to correct as I draw. It was easier than I thought to get the shape and general appearance of the bird. The details in the feathers was a little challenging. 2 - The details of the color changes in the feathers, especially the orange/brown in the belly.

I spend all work days in front of a computer. Being out in nature revives me; mind, body, and soul. I want to maximize the experience by learning about everything I see. On solo hikes, I'm taking more time to observe everything from the littlest plants, lichens, and insects, to the grandest trees and geologic formations. I take guided nature hikes and I have ID books. But to really understand and remember what I'm seeing I think journaling is necessary. Writing and drawing about my experiences aren't things I'm naturally good at, so I signed up for this class. I'm especially horrible at drawing, but I think with practice I will improve. I think drawing will help me to focus in on the details of what I see.
