I think that's really the trick: to keep going. You're off to a good start and obviously the sketching bug has bitten.

Not an attempt at an eider, you've done a damn good picture.

Agree with Keith - good job on the eider and the sparrow. Enjoy your art and developing your talent.

Meadow Pipit

Got a little lost with the Meadow Pipit, much too dark and lost perspective a little.

These are really nice; the eider's especially lively. Smart!

Another sketch - Kite?

Here is my attempt at a Kite. It gott a little thick in the neck and again the perspective has been lost a little, happier with the depth of plumage on this sketch though. Any advise welcome as I'm keen to learn.

"I Love You Too"

My interpretation of a photograph seen on Birdforum, thanks to who took it.
As you can hopefully see it is two puffins and I think it is my best sketch so far.

Thanks for all the kind words these are very much appreciated, and having looked at some of the artwork on your own sites i feel very humble.

Thanks

Glad to see you here on the forum, welcome - and great work for a new start! I didn't do any art at all until four years ago, and have come along fairly quickly (compared to what I expected anyway!) so just keep at it. I'll be following along.
