Mind The Birds – One For Sorrow – Magpie In Flight
It really have been some time since I did a drawing. I picked up the pencils tonight for the first time in WEEKS…probably two months or so. Start back in easy with the birds. Birds I feel quite confident with, so it’s an easy return…but I shall try to expand in the time to come….

Mind The Birds – Christophe The Collared Dove
Yep. Back to the birds 🙂 Done with a mix of soft pastel and pencil. He’s quite big. That’s on A3 heavyweight sketch paper.

Mind The Birds – Kingfisher
Oh, they are just so cute and colourful! Beautiful birds. I hope one day I’ll be lucky enough to see one in the wild. Ornithological GOLD DUST!
Aaww!! He Loves It!!! Thank You!
Oh, it just means so very, very much when he does this! I can’t even express it well enough. I love you more than all the birds in the world, sir! (And that’s a lot! Of love AND birds!) :-)))
