This is my second attempt with these two birds. I saw the scene in my mind’s eye but translating what’s in the head through the fingers and onto the page sometimes doesn’t come out the way you pictured it.
The first attempt I did not like, but in the interest of showing my work, here’s the first draft:
Ugh.
This is proof the more you practice, the less you suck. It’s important to keep going. Have faith the next attempt will show improvement. Keep painting!
