Fun first try. Drawing had me looking for more detail, shapes within, and trying to get depth. The claws helped me work on depth, but I noticed after the drawing, that the bird's head looks to be angled toward the camera a bit - not sure how to bring that across in the drawing. Very excited to move forward with old lost drawing skills, and spend more time as we go :)
I'm recently retired, and in the process of purging old boxes came across both journals and sketch pads containing my thoughts and talent from 30-45 years ago. So happy to revisit them, got me thinking, what if I'd continued to develop that talent for the past 30+ years. Ahhh..... life takes us different places than we expect. Very inspired to get back at it, have a few laughs at the first attempts with a pencil, then see where this takes me moving forward :). I live in nature, so no lack of opportunity - very excited to see what's in my heart, head, and hands!
