First and second attempts. Yes, notice way more detail than if I took a photo, but also a drawing makes me part of the image in a way; I'm less of a passive observer. I'm looking forward to seeing improvement!
I want to be drawn deeper into the natural world through quiet observation, and I'd like to be able to keep a record of what I have seen and experienced besides through words or photographs. I thought each of the journals had something really interesting to convey -- the layout of the boxes and then moving outside them, to let the journal show mistakes, noticing geometric shapes, how watercolors give you color quickly, using the journal as a discipline to do one sketch a day, and then moving to a month. I'd like to try them all.
