Drawing Ducks by the River
To be honest, these are drawings of photos I took on the banks of Salt Creek at Graue Mill in Oak Brook, Illinois. I did fill two spreads of my sketchbook while I was there, but as a novice at drawing active birds, I could not capture much.

These are excellent. And active birds are really tough to deal with!
Really nice drawings!

These are so lovely and delicately done and such lovely shapes and feel to them.

These are wonderful. I have my birdfeeder hanging right up to the window, to try and draw…but they move too fast for me.
Tagged you for a game if you’d like to play.
