When I´m not trying to develop my photography skills, I´m practicing sketching. I´m pretty much a beginner and hope to get improve over time. Now, sometimes I like to join both types of creativity and make something out of it so here are a bunch of drawings that I made by using photo reference. All these images are owned by me:
1. Sparrow
This one is one of my favorites. I caught this cute sparrow during sunset, which is the golden hour due to the quality of lighting. It might not be perfect. But still, I glad I got the pose right at least.
2. White Wagtail
This a wagtail, it was given its name due to its tendency to wag its tail. A very common bird here in Europe. I took this one in Spain, but it can be also be found here in Portugal. I love them, they´re actually one of my favorites. I was really lucky to get a picture up close.
I like to think I got the pattern right.
3. Eurasian Skylark
I caught this photo of the Euroasian Skylark (Alauda arvensis) in Mindelo, Portugal. It coloring allows it to quickly blend in with its surroundings. it has a very characteristics vocalization. I love this bird because of the of the plumage at the top of its head, making it looks like it has a spiked hairstyle.. I tried my best to capture its likeness, although the beak might be a bit longer than it´s real-life counterpart.
So this is pretty much all the drawings I made far. As you can see, I still have a lot to learn about animal sketching, but I enjoyed the process in making it and learning more about these birds. If I feel more confident I might post more of my art here, if only to show off my progress.
