Koi, Common Mapwing Butterfly (Guangzhou, China)

Two drawings....

I spent the day practicing shading with this little guy.  He was fun to draw.

I have completed the first attempt at drawing a portrait.  I will be drawing this one again in a few months to see if I can do a better job after practicing various skills more.

First attempt at a portrait...

Hmmm....so this is the first attempt at a portrait...it is still in progress and in need of some help...but I am learning...

White Throated Sparrow

Sooo I am still waiting for photos of "little miracle".  In the meantime, here is the beginning of a White-Throated Sparrow.  I am thinking this may be the last TN bird for a short while.  But that is not a promise.  :-)
I am thinking of a large rectangle wall clock in fall colors with the TN bird drawings that I have already finished on it.  hmmm....I'll let you know if that happens and put up a pic of it.

Cedar Waxwing (TN Bird #4)

I finished this little guy that I caught stealing berries off a holly bush outside my window this past winter.  He is number four in my drawings of TN birds.  I am still waiting for pictures of "little miracle" to draw him, so in the meantime, I have started a drawing of a Grasshopper Sparrow I caught on the ground under a bird feeder.

Cedar Waxwing

While I am waiting for pictures of little miracle, I am drawing another Tennessee bird--a Cedar Waxwing.  Here is the beginning that I started today.
