The last two weeks I looked for drawing workshop videos on Youtube, that I can watch and sketch along with, to pick up some more tips and tricks and practice drawing. One of my favorite drawing instructors is John Muir Laws and I found some great workshop videos hosted by the Lahontan Audubon Society. One of them was about drawing shorebirds and waterbirds.
Since the workshop video runs 2 hours, I watch it in parts, like 30 mins during my lunch break. It's a lot of fun. I filled two A3 pages so far. Page 1 was about getting the proportions right.
Page 2 was about different angles and the different feather groups (bird in the bottom right corner). Will post more, when I watched the rest of the video.
I also filled a page with Pied Avocets. A dear Bluesky friend and follower posted such lovely photos of an Avocet pair and chicks and I had to do a sketch of them.
Stay safe, wherever you are.
