My chicken period
I seem to be going through a chicken stage. I'm hoping to have a small coop before long and then start caring for three or four of various kinds. I want the fresh eggs for my breakfast.
In the meantime, I'm content with drawing them from photo references. I'm thoroughly enjoying sketching with a crow dip pen, something new that I'm learning from class.
Our weather suddenly shifted into high-gear-warm today and will be hotter yet throughout the weekend. My little garden crops are breaking through the soil, a new one each day. Tomorrow I hope to plant 16 square feet of corn to augment the six square feet already visible. I haven't grown corn since I was 12 years old - and that year I grew popcorn!
These guys certainly have personality!
ReplyDeleteChickens are also one of my favorite things to draw (although I hardly ever post them. You've done a great job capturing their expressions.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really super drawing, I love all the different expressions on their faces. Birds have such cool personalities!
