I thought using the photo was good for my first attempt.  More time to notice details  Still got the proportion wrong.  Legs way to short. I am a serious birder and can ID birds in a flash.  This exercise forced me to look closely at the image. And I was impressed by everyone's work.  Each was unique.  Some people are better artists than others.  But everyone seemed to capture the essence of the bird.  Some sketches were highly detailed, others impressions.  I am sure in a few weeks when every looks back at this drawing, they will still remember the bird well. I am looking forward, at the conclusion of the course, to compare my before and after attempts
