Going for Gold
Many thanks for the 'technical advice' guys.
Sketches of juv. Grey Herons at one of my patches. Autumn offfers the best viewing, as water levels are inevitably really low and they spend the first few of hours after dawn just loafing around, which makes 'em very inviting to draw when time's rather limited. I used to really over-work these (an eternal problem) or really struggle with head/bill profile, even with relatively inactive birds. I've put these on as another 'bench mark' for myself and hopefully others who are striving to improve. I'll revisit this species again in a few months or so.
Cheers
Russ
