Hi,
as you can see I have just taken up sketching birds. I use lead and pastel pencils. I draw images that I have photographed. This red kite was flying in a strong wind and the lower wing tips were not fully visible in the photo, but curved back away from the viewer. I have tried to reproduce that but they come across as being short and flat. Does anyone have any advice of how to make them appear like they did in the photo? There are quite a few other things wrong, I know, like proportion, depth etc, I'm still figuring out who to get that right.
Your help is much appreciated.
