Random Studies

Flamingo Sketches for my painting titled, "A Weekend Spent With Rude, Self-Centered, And Insensitive." I don't believe I had ever drawn a flamingo prior to this project, and i don't believe I will be drawing another one for quite some time haha! They were alot more difficult due to their odd proportions... and of course, I decided to forshorten them :/

Bird Studies

The first a few drawings/studies I made while brain-storming my songbird paintings. These are of a scarlet tanager and a house sparrow. These drawings helped me pick out which birds to depict within the seperate pieces. I will post the others soon!
