Hey Ray3
Nice job on the owl. The eyes and feet are especially good. I have a tough time with bird feet, but yours look really good.
Isn't it fun to try a new medium??

Ok, Ray. I will give bird feet another shot.
So far, I have been trying to take everyone's advice so I can learn.
Hey, Patricia, if you are out there, I took your advice and have started drawing every day, like you suggested. I can see a huge difference already. I bought a cute pouch to keep in my purse - so have pencils and sketch pad with me all the time now.
Hmmm.. I will post some of my earliest sketches with ones I am doing now.

Doina it can be disastrous I too have had my disasters but I have found it's a lot like watercolour painting and graphite you have to use light to dark and then using a burnishing pencil to get the results you want

Very well done Ray, the owl's eyes also "jumped" out at me ... a very nice job indeed. Patricia

Seems my comment has run amok!
Probably hit a wrong symbol on the tablet yesterday.
So, Ray.... here's what I think or thought yesterday...
You've done a lovely job on this little fellow. I've always thought these guys look so sad...perhaps just pensive. Anyway, the soft colours suit him well, and he is very well drawn.

I have just read these posts again and Mea, my apologies for I missed your post about drawing every day. Good for you. Wish I could do the same but life is so busy for this old girl and of course, I am slowing down which makes it worse!!! I always say I need to take a time management course. Anyway, good to hear you are taking a sketch book with you wherever you go. Wonderful for as Dennis always tells us, practice makes perfect.
