Yesterday I found this little sparrow dead on the sidewalk, so I brought it home and put it in the freezer, so that I could study it. You can see it in the lower photo. This morning, as a little break from work, I pulled it out and did my first ever full sized sheet. It didn't take long and was really fun to do and unlike a sketchbook, can be hung on the wall. I'll be off to the art supply for more paper tomorrow.
John, this is a wonderful sketch! I now realize I am not the only one! I too have picked up dead birds in order to photograph for my blogspots. If you look at my evenhaazer BlogSpot, under, FEATURED TREASURES - you will find my most recent photo under the title of: NO MORE DEATH. Your sketches are really nice - and I love how you use color. I wish you well.
