Back to Drawing

My husband made me this bird feeder in the early 90's and it sets just outside my big window where I get to watch the juncos and finches and sparrows play and quarrel.  The feeder also has had a visit from ravens, flickers and blackbirds.  The redtail hawk flys over it occasionally too and so does the falcon.

I hadn't drawn much during Dec.  I don't know why.  Maybe it was because of my immobility issue and so really did not have good models.  The last two or three days, I started again with the EDM prompts.   When I look at the drawings, I can see I regressed.  The daily drawing really does sharpen your "vision" and your drawings take on a more accomplished look!  These are okay, but I think I should have been a bit more focused, and maybe added a bit more detail.   I used a mechanical pencil first then embellished with markers and pens.  Another thing that helped me was a tip someone mentioned about "gridding" large size journal pages so you can do more drawings on one page.  Smaller drawings are much easier I found!
