A Sketch a Day - Day 31 Cactus Sparrow

This took the full 10 minutes to do the sketch, struggled getting the twist of the angle.  It wasn't this angry looking in the reference photo, it just kept coming out that way.

Day 30 Humming Bird feeding her babies

This is from an Wild Birds Unlimited Advert.  About 8 mins, very lightly sketched trying to place them before the timer went off.

Another 8 Minute Sketch (Two birds in one, the shadow bird didn't show up until I uploaded it)

Day 27 UK Robin

Taking a class with Val Webb at http://valwebb.wordpress.com/    In her first lesson on drawing birds she suggested setting a timer for 8 to 10 minutes and sketch as much as you can of a bird from the references she provided.  It took 8 minutes to do this little fellow.
