A photograph keeps the subject still which is an advantage. The challenge was paying attention to proportions, what makes this bird look like this bird.
I have an interest in birds and in art. This seems to be a great way to combine the two and get me back in the habit of drawing and painting--and observing.
I like the idea of making this a regular practice without being a mandatory chore. Make it fun.
I will probably experiment with various mediums. try to do quick sketches and some more detailed renderings.
