Tutorial sketch

Lovely result, Anne.

Thank you for your kind comments. My partner asked what kind of bird it was as when it reaches the tree it will be about 10 feet wide. My perspective must be way off.

Excellent drawing Anne, you have done well. (that's the sort of thing my hubby would say!)

Good way to better technique and what a good result. Buzzard maybe?

It's a wonderful tree Anne, love the gnarled trunk, it's got character.

Thanks everyone. Buzzard! Yes, i think i'll stick with that, good idea.
