From the sketchbook... (3 Viewers)

My fear of losing a sketchbook has resulted in me transfering them to the computer through digital camera.

Here are a few, Song Thrush from a few days ag, Grey Heron last week and Yellow Legged Gull from Galicia in Spain...

better and better [ if thats possible ] , your sketches have life in them, as i said before you have a rare talent , thank you for sharing , can we have some more please ?. regards stuart.
 
These are great, so far I like the Heron best. Would also love to see more.
 
Awesome, just amazing work. Wish I had the confidence to use pen - it's difficult not having that eraser to fall back on when everything goes horribly, horribly wrong!
 
Here are a few more so. I will post more sketches on this same thread in the near future as I get them rather than start a new thread each time...

Brilliant. Great job getting the shadows on the Shrike. And that Nuthatch is excellent -- loose and absolutely spot on.

Hi Buzzard - lovely group of recent work here. Particularly the godcrests - the lower bird is georgeous - the under-hanging pose is perfect (and sooo difficult to get right) - great linework. You really understand the anatomy of these birds - very well done.
 
Wow!!!!! Brilliant pics :t: You make it all look so effortless :cool:

They're ALL fabulous but that male Tufted Duck - I LOVE!!!!!!!!!! :t:
