I like this Maggie!

A very nice sketch Richard , I do enjoy your sketches.

Cheers Heather and Paul, have a good Weekend.

A cute little sketch

I like magpies but I always hope I see more than one. Members of the crow family are very intelligent. I think magpies are harshly thought of sometimes. I like your sketch. I once did a sketch of a duck with pigeon feet. It's on the sketching forum, my ribs crack when I look at it.

Thank you Faye and Denise. I will look at your Duck Sketch Denise. Cheers. Agree with you about the "bad press" Crows and Magpies get.

Lovely sketch, Richard, with just that touch of colour.

My favourite bird Richard, no matter how many! I always say “good morning Mr. Magpie” when I see one or more……hoping it cancels the bad luck.

Thank you Jenny and yes a touch of colour to me always "perks up" a pen & Ink drawing / sketch. Don't talk to Magpies Fiona, but we do have conversations with Cats and Sheep. 😀

Tho corvids (crow family) are the most intelligent of birds so perhaps your magpie needs a large head to hold all that brain!

Great magpie Richard, I like your tree and branches too.

Pen & Coloured Pencil of a Magpie in a Tree. Magpie from memory of various tutorials etc (Think the head is a bit out of proportion) . The tree style is from a linocut print I looked at a few weeks ago in the Lakes.
