Random sketches

Just thought I'd post some of my latest sketches, seeing as I haven't gone birding in a while. Below is a basic silhouette I drew yesterday. I was sort of experimenting with the lighting, shadows and shading a bit.

The next picture was drawn a while ago. I sort of got the idea from the Beatles' song, "Blackbird." I don't know why, but the picture came out almost cartoonish. And finally I have a Common Loon sketch. I like Loons. I saw lots of them last year in Maine, and heard them every night.

Hopefully I'll get to go birding again soon, and *fingers crossed* get some new species on my list!

Happy birding
