Jane, how brilliant to reverse the image for Left-handed drawing! I also enjoyed you adding color as background!

How interesting the results. Hey, this may have been the same techniques used in the cave paintings .(?) I like it for abstract drawing. -
Oh boy. I made an Amoeba. This tasks was a bit challenging as I was not able to decipher the width of the animal I was drawing unto the paper. I was focused, but my lines did not connect.

I felt that i wanted to get the essence of the birds spirit. His / her eye appears to be looking at the viewer and the bird appears relaxed on the branch. It was pretty easy to outline the birds silhouette first and then fill in the details. I think what can be challenging is drawing the tiny details of the feathers, branches, etc. I think I would have just noticed the bird, not the leaves and branches on the rear side of the bird. This lesson has made me more aware of drawing and including the birds, animal environment so that I can get a better understanding of it's surrounding.

William, how amazing that you are teaching a course on Flora and Fauna on the Bible and the World Around Us. I would be interested to learn more about this. Is it an online course? What book are you using or recommend for the course? Thank you for your reply.

I am so inspired by nature and how it flows with the elements of weather and time. For example, I live by a lake and the birds are up by 5 am and fly to their destinations for the day. And by the evening, they are back by 6 pm perched on their branches ready for sleep and to repeat the process again tomorrow. How amazing is are they? The same applies to the flowers are of the field. They grow, give their bloom and fragrance for the insects and birds and then they withered by next season. Nature follows the cycle of life effortlessly. This is what caused me to want to draw them and analyzed them. I like drawing them first in graphite pencil and then I use gouache medium to apply color. I will submit a color image when I work on this project.
