Consider the penguin

It's been so cold the past few mornings here in northern California that when I noticed my daughter drawing symbolic pictures of penguins I was inspired to follow her lead. I found a photo of Adelie penguins on Flickr as reference and roughed in a sketch with Micron ink on watercolor paper. I think that means I intend to add some color to the ice in the background and complete the shadows and additional values on and around the birds themselves.
