SKETCHBIRDS



Using the book, The Laws Guide to Drawing Birds, by John Muir Laws, I am copying some work there and reading/studying the good information included about the anatomy of birds.  
















Here are a few sketchbirds I've done so far...going slowly through the book and reading/studying a bit each day.

    This is the best book out there on the subject though of course, working in the field is the best teacher of all!

    Thanks, Sherry, but I have much to learn!!

    E.M., I am enjoying the book, slowing going through and sketching what he's got in the book. I don't work outside but have tons of photo references - and birds outside my window that catch my eye - enough to last a lifetime!

    Nice sketches, Rhonda.
    That is a great book! He has some videos online too; you can find them by googling him.
