Woody said:Hi folks,
Just thought I'd post this small watercolour study. It's part of my preparation for an upcoming studio painting.

Heh! Heh!buzzard12 said:Has great character, nice liitle study... He looks a tad angry Woody, did you steal his wallet or something??
Woody said:Cheers Tim. I'm going out sketching today and one of my 'targets' is wrens, just to get another good look before work starts on the big painting. Got to get the kids and wife (she's a teaching assistant), to school first though.

Personally I love the study because it captures the intenstity of the bird when it sings.
The reason it looks cross it that the super draws a straight line over the eye, as a former animator of human character I beg you to leave a little of that in there!!
When they sing the super flares, watch the shape of the eye change!
(read that years ago, Lawrence B Mc Queen, for birds, sense of connection)
(Next time you watch an animated movie watch the eyes, its drilled into you)
