Great job on the feet!

This turned out much better that I expected! The hardest part was getting started, but once I did it was sketch-erase-sketch-erase-sketch and I enjoyed it. Knowing when to stop is also hard, but since I was working on it while my baby slept, he helped me break away when he woke up. ;)
Working from such a high quality photo was good for studying proportions and detail. I will probably download some more pictures like this from the Mckauly library so practice on days when we can get outside! -
I have always enjoyed being outdoors and learning about nature, but usually I was very active, hiking or biking. Now that I have small children we cover a lot less ground, and that gives us a chance to appreciate the details. I am interested in nature journaling for something to do while my kids are immersed in outdoor play and also to do with them as they develop the interest. There are so many wonderful nature apps (eBird!), but sometimes I find myself on my phone more than I like, looking things up or taking pictures. Hopefully nature journaling will help me to stay present in the moment and also help model appreciation for nature for my children.
